Many of you will have seen that commercial which talks about the 2:30 feeling.
When I first saw it, I immediately related to it because I had experienced exactly what they were talking about.
When that lethargy and tiredness hits you at 2:30, 3:30 or even 4:30, you want nothing more than to take a nap and it demands a herculean effort to pretend that you are really interested in that meeting you are in, or the work you are doing.
The commercial tells you to take a shot of some secret liquid in a little red bottle to get over this feeling.
However, there are other solutions.
So here are a few simple, but powerful "natural" energy boosters that you can do whenever you get that lethargic feeling.
1.
Have a shake with an ounce of bounce.
This may seem strange at first, but it is incredibly effective.
Simply stand in a comfortable position and start to bounce up and down.
Just try it and you will be amazed at how much energy you generate.
Just relax your muscles and gently start to shake your arms.
Increase your shaking and bouncing levels as desired, maybe even move your arms up and down.
When you are in the swing of things, start bouncing from side to side.
Some people get addicted to the adrenaline this produces and even start spinning when they are bouncing! While that may not be right for everyone, bouncing certainly is.
Be warned though, there are some pretty serious side effects: • An increase in muscular strength • Improved posture, balance and coordination • Revitalized vision and better mental functioning • Reduction in stress level and control over addictions • Improvement in the blood, lungs and all the internal organs • Slowing down the aging process and relief of pain • Elimination of toxins from the body, weight loss and an overall sense of well-being.
2.
Take a brisk walk or, even better, a brisk walk outside.
This again seems like a simple solution, but a simple brisk walk can recharge your batteries for the next few hours.
The ideal walking speed is fast enough to appear that you definitely have somewhere important to go, but slow enough that you don't look like someone should be chasing after you.
Again, this has some pretty serious side affects: • A brisk walk will improve your posture, muscle strength, flexibility, and overall attractiveness...
Yes, walking is sexy! • Increases in circulation, energy, alertness, and mental prowess...
you won't believe how much easier Sudoku is for a brisk walker.
• Decreases stress! Have you ever noticed when you are on a particularly tense phone call, you naturally start to walk around? I don't have a Harvard study to back this one up, however, just trying sitting still the next time you find yourself on one.
It is simply not possible.
• Reduces the chance of osteoporosis, colon cancer, constipation, depression, back pain, and arthritis.
So, what have we learned? That it would be great to get rid of that 2:30 feeling and every other ailment we experience by drinking some magic elixir, or taking some pill, but that isn't how being truly healthy works.
The magic that we need doesn't come from the laboratory.
It comes from inside us.
That feeling is often just a sign for us to get moving, literally.
So, the next time you want a little more bounce in your step, give one of these two power boosters a shot.
