• A few early nights, or naps during the weekend. Skip the TV programs, have a bath and go to bed. Send your partner with the kids to the movies and take that time to relax/nap.nnn
• High fat meals are hard to digest, it makes you lethargic. Try to have lighter meals, see if a lighter lunch or lighter supper works for you and your level of energy.nnnn
• And yes, exercising. You don’t have to go all sweaty on that one. Go for a brisk walk during the day, regularly. Or take it literally and make it an habit of doing an aerobic exercise 3 to 4 times a week. Early in the morning, during your lunch hour, right after work and during weekend with your family (pool, badminton, skiing, jogging, cycling ect.)nnn
• Know your level of energy and plan your day accordingly. High level of energy in the morning? Do what requires the most energy then and keep the smaller, less stressful stuff for the afternoon.nnnn
• Emotionally angry, tired or over stimulated? Try channeling the energy towards chores that needs to be done with the same level of energy; take that walk much needed. Try relaxation techniques.nnnn
• Be flexible. Don’t go against your energy level change your plan as you go.
nnnn
• Moderate your intake of artificial stimulant ex: chocolate, sweets, coffee, soda, alcohol. They are all temporary stimulant. It’s only an illusion of regaining energy; it won’t help you replenish your battery in the long run.
