Lacking Energy? 5 Quick Tips To Energize Yourself.

1. Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy treatments can be very effective in restoring energy and lifting the mood. Citrus essential oils like bergamot and orange are excellent revitalisers, as are neroli and rosemary. A few drops of your chosen essential oil in an oil burner can improve sagging energy levels. Visit an aromatherapist for a consultation and you can get a personal blend of oils and other treatments.

2. Stretching
Chronic tension and stress can lead to tiredness and even exhaustion. Stretching can help alleviate the built up tension giving a wonderfully liberating and tingling sensation to your body. Start with your hands straight up over your head and try to reach as high as you can, rising on your toes while reaching up. Lower your feet and bend sideways from the waist with your arms still above your head, straighten up and bend to the other side.

3. Refreshing Tea
When energy levels are low and you need a quick pick me up, you can't go past mint tea. Mint tea hydrates the body and refreshes the senses and can be drunk hot or cold. Adding honey will give you a boost of longer lasting energy.

4. Cold Shower
Don't laugh, it's not just for dampening passions. A cold shower provides a gentle shock to a sluggish system and leaves you feeling refreshed and alert.

5. Elevate
An old trick used by the yogis of India is to elevate their body over their head in order to send blood to the brain to stimulate alertness. You don't have to bend yourself like a pretzel to achieve the effect, just lie down for a few minutes and use pillows to keep your legs elevated above your head.

Notes & Cautions: Regular exercise, a well balanced diet and dealing with stress are the first steps to restoring sagging energy levels. People with any pre-existing conditions should always consult their chosen health care provider before attempting any of the above.
