Say goodbye to lethargy and procrastination by following these 10 simple ways which will leave you feeling energetic, enthusiastic and well-equipped to tackle your day productively:

1. Get proper rest and good sleep at night

A good night’s sleep is the ultimate thing that can energize you. If you are sleep deprived, you’ll end up feeling exhausted, depressed and irritated. So ensure you get a peaceful sleep. Don’t drink coffee or tea in the evening, switch off the TV, laptop and other gadgets and sleep like a baby.

2. Wake up early

Early bird indeed catches the worm. Waking up late will result in a tense and rushed morning, which will drain you of your energy pretty soon. To avoid that, wake up a bit early. Stretch or go for a morning walk. Have a relaxed breakfast and start your day with a peaceful mind.

3. Eat a nutritious breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Do not underestimate its importance. If you eat wisely, you’ll feel energetic enough to start your day on a positive note. Make your breakfast a healthy mix of carbohydrates, proteins and vegetables. Add few fruits or juices to make it wholesome. Don’t eat heavy fried food in the morning, it will make you feel drowsy.

4. Meditate to get the positive energy flowing

Take a deep breath and meditate. Concentrate on nothing. Just let your mind relax. Even a ten minute meditation session can rejuvenate and energize you for the rest of the day.

5. Avoid unnecessary gossip

To keep your energy levels up, you need to recognize things that drain you of your energy. Unnecessary gossip and random phone calls are some of the things that waste your energy. Stay away from them and use your energy on something productive and positive.

6. Plan your day in advance

Pen down how you want to spend the next day. Plan and organize your whole day as effectively as possible. Categorize various tasks according to priority and urgency. Planning will help you provide a clear perspective and energize you for a clean start.
