Are you tired all the time? Has your get up and go got up and left? These tips could help you feel invigorated:
1. Switch to Green Tea
Throw away your morning coffee and switch to green tea instead. It contains half the amount of caffeine of an average-sized cappuccino and yet laboratory studies have found that it still increases mental alertnes. Not only that, studies suggest that green tea can slow the growth of some cancer, aid weight loss and lower cholesterol levels too. Does it sound blissful?

2. Beat the midafternoon slump
It is tempting to reach for something sugary as energy drops. However, when your blood-sugar level rises rapidly, your pancreas responds by releasing a large dose of insulin, which will plunge you into an energy slump. Instead, try eating a banana or a handful of nuts for slow-release energy. The effect will be fantastic.

3. Flirt
Most of us feel like we don’t have any energy for romance and sex, but imagine you are in your sitting room and George Clooney walks in. your heart starts to pound and miraculously, that energy is there.

4. Use your nose
Research has indicated that the scent of lavender increases alertness and brain function. In the US, a group of students were given maths tests before and after lavender aromatherapy, the group completed the tests faster and more accurately afterwords. When you feel yourself drooping, put a few drops on a tissue for a boost.

5. Wear bright colours
This really does work. According to research in Canada, looking at red increases your heart rate, blue sparks creativity and yellow makes you feel alert and attentive.
Even if this seems a claim to far, simply wearing bright colors means that people will react to you in a more upbeat way, boosting your mood and improving confidence and self-esteem.

6. Drink more water
Dehydration really is a sinister cause of exhaustion as it creeps up on you and you don’t always feel thirsty the minute your system needs more water.
You don’t have to drink ridiculous amounts, but keep yourself topped up with two or three glasses on top of tea and coffee throughout the day.

7. Get your posture right
Slouching doesn’t just make you look tired, it creates the feeling as well. When the joints aren’t aligned properly, the body has to work so much harder.
Your head should always be lined up over your body, so your ears are directly over your shoulders.

8. Get organised
There’s nothing more energy sapping than ples of washing, a messy desk and spending hours trying to find your keys, glasses and purse, etc. Get organised and you will see your energy levels soar.

9. Take a mini holiday
Holiday could greatly help recharge your batteries. It doesn’t need to be a fortnight in Majorca. Part of the trick is breaking routine and escaping deadlines.
It can take as little as a day. Fritter it away reading, going for a walk, wandering around museums and eating lovely food, and make sure you do no work or chores.

10. Take power naps
Make sure you do it in a chair. Don’t lie down or you might not get up! You can’t do this at work, but on days off or weekends, give yourself a boost. Power naps are best at around 11:30am and 2.30pm, when energy drops. Keep it short, say 10 to 15 minutes is perfect.
