Most of us have experienced that afternoon fatigue at our job that sets in somewhere between lunch and quitting time. The good news is there are some simple things that you can do to help boost energy when this occurs!
The first thing you should do is take a break away from the desk or job you perform. Just getting away from your “job” for a few minutes can give you a well deserved mental break and often this little break alone can increase your energy levels.
Perform some simple stretches to open up those stiff muscles that sitting or standing all day can cause. I do some simple standing forward bends, half moon stretches on each side, shallow back bends, and some quadriceps stretches to name a few. Letting some energy start to flow into these stiff areas can do wonders in terms of upping your energy!
Perform some simple exercises in the office or outside. Some of my favorites are push-ups against a wall, arm circles, standing calf raises, stomach flexes, standing trunk twists, and jumping jacks. Not only will you increase circulation, but you’ll burn some extra calories. We can all stand to burn a few extra calories particularly after lunch!
Take some deep breaths. This is a very simple thing you can do even while sitting at your desk or driving. Fatigue can be caused from a lack of oxygen to the brain (hence the reason we yawn). Taking a few deep breaths back-t-back can bring in some well needed oxygen to the brain and muscles.
Try using a stability ball as a chair. Again you build some core strength over time, burn extra calories throughout the day and improve balance. Oh and I forgot to mention that moving around a bit on the ball can help keep you awake J
Have a healthy snack and drink water. I make homemade energy bars with agave nectar, nuts, oatmeal, bran cereal and a few other ingredients that really can help keep the metabolism burning and stabilize blood sugar levels. Vegetables, fruits and nuts are all really healthy options as a mid-afternoon snack.
Give these little tricks a try next time you find yourself about to fall over from fatigue at work! They really can boost energy and who knows, they might just save your job in the end!
