Summary of 8 ways to quickly recover your energy

1. Take a deep breath. 
Deep breathing can slow down the heartbeat, reduce nerve tone, and lower blood pressure. Do deep breathing exercises for 10 to 15 a day, and at any time, when you feel nervous or stressed, take deep breaths. Let the air fill your chest and abdomen, and then exhale slowly. Michael Schmidt wrote the book "Tiring and Fatigue", which recommends breathing 12 to 16 times per minute.

2. Contemplation. 
People often relax themselves through meditation, and meditation can indeed help people relieve fatigue. Find a quiet place, then sit comfortably, relax, close your eyes, and imagine a word as simple as "one". When other ideas invade, focus and think about the previous word.

3. Do some stretching exercises slowly. 
The effect of stretching is similar to taking deep breaths. It can reduce muscle tone, speed up blood circulation in the body, and help deliver oxygen to the brain, etc.

Start every day and take a gentle, moderate stretch that increases vitality to the body. Curving the spine can accelerate circulation in the body. The best stretching exercise is: put your hands and knees on the ground, and then slowly and vigorously bend your back into a bow shape. Keep this position for 10 seconds and then slowly relax. Or spread your feet with shoulder width, lean your body slightly forward, bend your knees, place your hands in the middle of your thighs, then bend gently, hold for 10 seconds, and then relax. Repeat.

4. Respect your biological clock。 
Some of us are most energetic in the mornings, while others are the best at night. "If you need to drink three to four cups of coffee after you wake up, you're probably not a 'morning energy' person,'" said Charles Kunzlerman, who authored "How to Maximize Your Energy and Productivity."

Find out your "golden time" and save your most important work to your "high energy time period". For example, if you are a "lap", then arrange the most important things of the day in the morning, not in the afternoon. Because in the afternoon, your energy has declined.

5. Eat less and more meals. 
When we eat, the blood will run to the intestines and leave the brain, so we will become dull and do not want to move. Some experts believe that if you eat 5 to 6 meals a day, your blood sugar will remain stable.

For energy reasons, don't eat fat-rich foods, such as fat meat, ice cream, etc. It takes a long time to digest these foods, so the blood leaves the brain for a long time. But don't ignore foods with basic fatty acids, such as fish and nuts. They are important nutritional tonics.

6. Bask in the sun more often. 
Sunlight can inhibit the growth of melatonin in the body. Without adequate sunshine, especially during the winter months, some people suffer from seasonal "emotional psychosis", a depression that may cause fatigue.

7. Pay attention to standing posture. 
When you walk listlessly, you remove your weight away from the center of your body. Therefore, you have to spend more energy to maintain your body balance.

Here are some simple ways to maintain balance: keep your head above the pelvis, your ears above the shoulders, and your waist and back lean forward. If you sit in front of a computer, your eyes should be on the same horizontal line as the middle of the screen. Women, take off their heels and leave their heavy handbags at home - because both of these things will cause your weight to deviate from the center of gravity.

8. Check your sleep habits. 
How long does it take to sleep? People are different. It can be measured like this: If you doze when you don't want to be sleepy, or sleep late on weekends, it means you are not getting enough sleep, Mark Mahohueld said. Try to sleep an extra hour every night and see how you feel.
