Feeling drained halfway through the workday?

If you are at work, you probably are at a desk. Get up and MOVE! Check how much or rather how long you sit at the desk. Strive that on every hour on the hour to get up and move around...Walk, if you can for 5 to 10 min. Ten is preferable. Get that energy up! It is not healthy to sit for long periods of time. So stretch those legs...stand up...get moving! Run/Jog in place, if you can! Be healthy...focus on your energy and what you can do about it!

Take your shoes off under the desk and roll your feet on a tennis ball for couple of minutes. It's so refreshing you won't want to stop.

Quick fixes to this would be: - Step away for a few minutes to refresh your mind. - Physical activity can boost energy levels. - Drinking water to stay alert and focused. - A brief meditation or deep breathing can re-energize you. - Eat a nutritious snack to sustain energy. Small changes can make a big difference. Consistent self-care throughout the day helps maintain focus and productivity. Revitalize and power through the rest of the day.

As a CEO, mother of two, and breadwinner, I know the struggle. Here’s how I stay energized: -Prioritize self-care. -Delegate tasks. -Set boundaries. -Take breaks. -Practice gratitude. Remember, you’re not superhuman. It’s okay to feel drained. By prioritizing self-care and effective time management, you can regain your energy and continue to thrive.

Exhaustion is common when facing stress and time demanding work days. This usually happens while facing periods when monthly, quarterly or annual reports have to be presented. Delivery dates for this important reports are almost impossible to delay. In this context, more hours than average are usually required for work and therefore, the time left for rest is usually minimal. When this happens, I have found useful to take about three or four spaces of fifteen minutes each throughout the day to walk and disconnect my mind from work, to take a short nap for brain's energy renewal, for breathe or just for have a hot coffee. It is strongly recommended to keep hydrated during the day.

Although sleep is one of the most important things we can do for our health, there are a lot of individuals who do not prioritize sleep. It's easy to understand how this happens as our lives continue to get busier with work, family, and other commitments. If you're feeling tired part-way through the day, it's time to look at how to improve your sleep quality and duration. Ideally aim for 7-9 hours/night. One of the greatest 'time stealers' of sleep are our electronic devices. How many times have you started to look at something on your smartphone and the next thing you know an hour (or longer) has passed? As parents, we are always trying to limit our kids' screen time. Maybe we should start following our own advice?

As we know, our body needs around 8 hours of sleep daily to function properly. Sometimes this is difficult to achieve when facing long journeys of work. So, when time to rest is scarce, we have no better option than to get the most high quality rest possible. For this, it is important to sleep in a room with the TV off, lights off. It is recommended not to dine or drink water in excess befor going to bed. It is important to disconnect our minds from cellphones/social media at least half an hour before sleeping. For mind and body relaxing is better to pray and to practice breath exercises while in bed before sleeping. If my mind is going around some concerns, it works for me to write it down in a notebook so it gets out of my thoughts.
