Did you survive Black Friday? And how about Cyber Monday? If not, here's some intel from Women's World- how to rev up for your holiday preparations, when you're feeling like something the cat dragged in:- try these quick and surprising tips:
1. Wear orange or red- hot colors catch your attention, help you focus, and stimulate your brain waves.
2. Doodle on paper- it sends a message to your brain to wake up! (Even looking at some zig zag patterns can have a similar effect.)
3. Hit the water cooler (the actual water- not just the gossip group!)- dehydration will zap your energy, and cause your body to try to slow down, which in turn, makes you tired. Drink small amounts of water every 30 minutes to stay hydrated and energized- and this works even if you aren't tired!
4. Chew sugarless peppermint gum- chewing releases the hormone serotonin, which relieves tension and helps you feel more awake.
5. Have a chicken sandwich for lunch- chicken contains the chemical tyrosine- an essential amino acid which boosts energy and relieves anxiety. Other sources for tyrosine are milk, cheese, or yogurt, avocados, bananas, Lima beans, or pumpkin seeds.
