How can I boost my Energy??

Question

I keep saying that I am going to get up early and exercise, but I don't!!
I just staying in bed because I feel too tired to get up and do it, and then I feel knackered when I come home from work!! What can I do to stop feeling like this

Answer 1

I guess motivation is the key....set yourself a target for the week ahead and attempt to stick to it. Small steps will lead to giant strides in the future. If the reality is that you are never going to get up and exercise early morning then don't set yourself that expectation as you will feel down about not achieving it - when the reality is that it wasn't right to put that pressure on yourself in the first place.

On a more serious note - and you may well have done - you should go and see your local GP. There are energy sapping illnesses out there - eg Glandular fever [spelling?!], or more simply an unbalanced diet. A few simple tests might highlight the problem....

Good luck with it all.

Answer 2

Get up early in a morning.
go for a 20 circular walk
have breakfast of orange juice, ceral, coffee ( I have very strong coffee)
Bath/ Shower, clean teeth at least 5 minutes with the brush.
Dress ready to attack the day.

If you can have breakfast at work then re-arrange the above to suit.

When you return home in the evening, have at least 20 minutes to yourself with a cup of whatever you like. Listen to relaxing music or listen to the silence. Try sitting a totally blacked out room with noise cancelling headphones. The first time is scary!

Keep off fizzy drinks, chocolate bars, alcohol, cigarettes.

Answer 3

I thought this said that you get up to excersise, not wanting to...ah well, here is the edit:

MAKE yourself get up. Like habit, we all need to brainwash our system into getting used to somethingnew. Once you start excersising....

Eat healthy, and often.

Breakfast:
Cold cereal and fruit

Snack:
Carrots, apple, yogurt

Lunch:
Protein and veggies, fruit

Snack:
More fruit, or veggies

Dinner:
Healthy potion of meat, starch, veggie

Snack:
Reward yourself with a small piece of chocolate, or dish of ice-cream

The fruits and veggies will give you healthy sugar to burn, while the snacks keep your metabolism active. Also, ditch the caffinated beverages such as soda and coffee, and drink PLENTY of water throughout the day. It sounds like you are off to a good start...keep it up!

Answer 4

Okay, firstly, cut out all caffine and reduce your sugars intake as this will cause energy one minute and burn out the next.
What you need to slow burning carbs and no carbs after 7 at night.
So yes to, porridge for breakfast, wholewheat breads, sweet potatoes, lentils, beans, fish, etc.
No - chocolate, coke, coffee, steak etc
Also, if you cant motivate yourself to get up, why dont you try do something you might enjoy, swimming, boxing, cycling etc.

Answer 5

Beetroot is an historic foodstuff for the elimination of negative energies and spirits from you. they say in case you sneeze or yawn once you eat an complete beetroot the risky energies were bumped off. better water, eco-friendly tea and a multi-nutrition answer from the pharmacy feels like it might do the trick..

Answer 6

Take a look at your diet, with a GP's advice. Alot of foods don't agree with people and they don't realise it, they can make you feel tired. Carbs can do this, too many in one serving. ; )

Answer 7

carbohydrates are the main sources of energy used by our body, so i suppose you have to eat bread, cereals, pasta, stuff like those, in great amounts during breakfast.

Answer 8

regular exercise.........nutritious diet...not sleepin late at night......baances diet....fruits and green vegetables...tai chi...green tea...nice cup of coffee.....exercise.....feeling gud the whole day......and wearing comfortable clothes

Answer 9
