We're trying to cope with Back-to-School and late Summer To Do Lists. Here are a list of some suggestions to keep your nerves in check.
1. Giggle - spend some time watching a comedy. Research shows this can cut your tiredness up to 50%. Your body interprets laughter as a form of exercise which improves insulin levels, and helps your brain increase energy levels.
2. Talk to a friend - spend some time catching up with a friend. This helps reduce fatigue which elevates brain stimulation.
3. Drink a glass of water - This helps women regain their "get up - and go" feeling.
4. Peel an Orange - Breathing in this Aroma helps "wake up" the brain, cutting drowsiness by 25%.
5. Wear some sunny colours - This stimulates the nervous system, revives energy and alertness.
6. Take a Green Break - Take a lunchtime stroll down the block, pick up the mail. Just five minutes outdoors can provide you with a burst of energy.
7. Doodle - According to a study in the U.K., doodling instantly revs mental energy by 29%; subjects just drew squares and circles. Hand/Eye coordination stimulates brain's alertness.
8. Enjoy some breeze - As temperature climbs your body's energy level slows down; open a window for about 20 minutes which allows heat lose through your skin allowing energy levels to pick up. We've all tried it at sometime or another i.e. opening the car window, turning on a fan.
9. Wiggle your toes, Stretch your arms and legs, Massage your Ears.
10. Last but not least...Sing - This produces soothing vibrations in the brain which "kick-start" endorphins resulting in relaxed energy in ten minutes.
