Great! You’ve said it all and I also agree with what Grace suggested to add – meditate.

Great tips as usual.

Being a student,parent, and full time worker, I am always looking for ways to stay energized. Having coffee with my breakfast every day had help me a lot. Having a yogurt after lunch also gives me a boost.

I think most importantly having passion for the task I have to complete has helped me to keep head on.

Great list! there are many things here that I recommend to people all the time.

I’d like to add one more: Meditate.

There are *so* many misconceptions about meditation that a lot of people don’t even try it. I’ve heard everything from “Don’t you have to sit in weird positions?” to “But I can’t think of *nothing*!” to “It takes too long!”

All you need is three minutes to

- Take a couple of deep breaths
- Really focus on your body and how it feels
- Relax your face, starting with the muscles around your eyes
- This will sound weird, but also relax your *tongue*, so that it lies in your lower jaw, not pressed against the roof of your mouth
- Then just feel that relaxation flowing down over your whole body …
- Breathe…
- Let any thoughts just sort of float through your mind; recognize that they’re there, and let them go
- Open your heart to the world, feel yourself opening up, feel the tension dissolving…
- Take another deep breath, and
- Stretch your arms and shoulders, wriggle your toes, and open your eyes.

See? You feel wonderful, and no one even noticed what you were doing!

Great tips … mostly. I wouldn’t worry about replacing electrolytes, unless you are seriously ill (as in a child who has had chronic diarrhea for a week and is under medical care) your body will automatically replace them for you. And have you red the ingredient list on some of these energy drinks? Loads of healthy chemicals and preservatives and vacuous sugars. I’d avoid them in favor of a nice glass of water. But the nap, the walk, the grazing, and so on … really good tips.

Cheers!

Nice tips, Ririan. I would be really careful about recommending those energy bars, though. Most of them really ARE like a candy bar, and are full of corn syrup, artificial ingredients and empty carbs. I recommend an on-the-go snack that has a natural mix of carbs, protein and fat, like trail mix or a few dried apricots with a handful of almonds. I toss a few dried figs, apricots, almonds and seeds into small baggies at the beginning of each week for easy-to-grab energy snacks.
