Rest: Sleep is nature’s way of making sure we stay reinvigorated. Every adult needs at least 5 to 7 hours of sleep. If you are not getting that due to a busy schedule or some other reason try taking power naps during the day. You’d be shocked what a 30 minute nap during lunch break would do for you, as studies have shown that such naps increase your memory by as much as 20 percent!.
Create the right atmosphere: Your bedroom should have an ambience of warmth and rest. Having your laptop, TV and other appliances in your bedroom creates the wrong atmosphere. Once you enter a bedroom that is organized and has the right ambience your brain knows it’s time to rest.
Eat right: Remember the saying “you are what you eat” while it’s very true. To feel truly rejuvenated slow down on heavy starchy foods and eat clean! For breakfast a fruit smoothie will give you a kick to start your day feeling energized! Try eating healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables and cut down on processed foods. As a rule make sure you don’t eat for up to 2 or 3 hours before you go to bed and you’d be amazed how light and energized you will feel.
Hot bath: Taking a hot bath before you go to bed can be incredibly relaxing. This is partly because when you take a hot bath your body temperature drops as soon as you get out of the water and this helps you fall asleep fast. Add essential oils like lavender for more relaxation.
Exercise: It could be something as simple as starting a dance routine or climbing the stairs every day. The right type of exercises will help combat fatigue and stress and will help kick start your day.
Feed your Soul: True rejuvenation starts from within. Try listening to inspirational and uplifting music as well as reading motivational books and verses from the Bible or Koran.
Spa: Visit a spa! This is one treat that’s sure to rejuvenate even the weariest soul! A lot of spas now offer full body massages which are extremely relaxing!
