Modern age glorifies being busy, and the average living tempo is extremely fast. Chasing careers and balancing between business and private life can be quite challenging, especially for women.
There come the days when you wait long for vacation or at least longer weekends and a chance to refill your energy sources, catch up some sleep and refresh your mind, but the schedule simply doesn’t allow you that comfort.
The big goal remains coming up with some strategy that will provide you with easy ways to energize and keep yourself physically up to all tasks, but without slowing down, getting extra sleeping hours or ten days of holiday.

Get rid of this bad habit and especially stay away from smoking before bedtime.

Remove caffeine from daily consumption

Caffeine is often used as an energizer and a way to start your mechanisms early in the morning. The truth is that it does have a boosting effect, but until you start exaggerating with the daily amount of it, then the cost – benefit balance outweighs to “cost” side.

Exercise

When feeling drained after a long and stressful day, you probably feel like lying down and staring at ceiling for hours. It may sound paradoxes, but this is the moment when you should do some stretching and exercise for an hour. If exhausted, at least take a walk for half an hour.
