The holiday season can bring a lot of joy to many, as it’s designated as a time to give and receive. However, the joy of giving is sometimes accompanied by the stress of choosing gifts and the additional energy needed on top of regular daily activities—it can be overwhelming. Here are some tips on how to stay energized during hectic times!
• Try to eat lots of fruits and vegetables. This is the time of year where there will be many “treats” to tempt you. Enjoy in moderation, as even adults can suffer from the sugar highs and ensuing crashes.
• Resist the urge to burn the candle at both ends. Especially when there is so much to get done, get your rest. Even one night of poor sleep can affect your mood and energy.
• Keep PiMag® water with you and drink it throughout the day. Staying hydrated can help support your energy levels.
• Even if you feel like a shot of caffeine can help energize you, try to drink caffeinated beverages only in the morning. Try herbal teas in the afternoons and evenings. Remember, Kenzen Super Ciaga® powder can turn plain PiMag® water into a delicious beverage that supports your natural energy levels.
• Prioritize, execute and eliminate. You can’t do everything at once, so choose the most important tasks, do them, and eliminate the ones that are less important. If you have family members or friends who can help with less critical tasks, ask them.
• When things start getting hectic, set aside some time for yourself to exercise. Even a 10-minute walk can help raise your energy levels.
• You may not be able to attend every single function you’re invited to. It’s hard to say “no” but again, prioritize, execute and eliminate. Attend the functions close to your heart.
• Stare at the color red.1 According to research, looking at the color red can help boost energy levels! There’s no harm in giving it a try!
• Donate. Whether you have gently used toys or clothes, there is someone out there who will appreciate them. And, when you do a charitable good, you release endorphins that support your energy levels! Win-win!
