Lemons, Apples, Water & Outdoors - Energy Boosting Tricks |
It seems every afternoon around 2 or 3 o'clock I feel I need to take a nap. This is called a siesta
(Spanish pronunciation: [ˈsjesta]) -- a short nap taken in the early afternoon, often after the midday meal. Such a period of sleep is a common tradition in some countries, particularly those where the weather is warm.

Chilling in the Hammock |
Oh how nice it would be to curl up in my bed and doze for an hour or so. Or even on a nice day lay under the warm sun on my hammock. But there is just too much to get done, I have to find other ways to re-energize that don't take up a lot of time.
My Top 10 ways to get that extra boost of energy midday
Answer the following questions...
- Am I sneaking sugar, grains and loads of carbs?
- Am I getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep at night?
- Have I slacked of on my exercise?
- Am I eating enough healthy fats for energy?
Here's a list of tips or energy tricks if your still lacking the much needed energy.
Change Task -- Whatever I'm doing at the moment I find a different task to do. A change of scenery always seems to help.
Walk Outside -- a short fast paced walk can rejuvenate.
Exercise -- A quick 4 minute workout, 4 minutes of non-stop cardio pumping exercises: one minute each jumping jacks, push ups, lunges and squats. This really gets the heart pumping and blood flowing.
Stretch -- Stretch with some soothing music seems to replenish my energy.![]() |
Exercise - Running, lifting weights & stretching |
Cat Nap -- You have to be careful with this one. I make sure I only close my eyes for 5 minutes and take cat naps sitting up, otherwise I will be napping for hours.
