Does anyone have any good tips for keeping energy up?

It may seem like the last thing you would want to do but exercise always helps me. Take a short walk during your lunch break, even if it’s just for five minutes. It will recharge you and give you that extra boost you need to get through the day.

I second @jonsblond – exercise is the only thing that picks me up when I am dragging like that.

Try drugs. Many people are fond of cocaine….

regular exercise will help increase general energy.

Vitamin Energy

@The_Compassionate_Heretic I am usually quite energetic. I try and run at least a mile everyday, but this bug I have come down with is just making me very tired and exercise unfortunately isn’t going to fix it.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities Great call… Damn! no one in my office has any blow to share. Oh well.

Good nutrition and adequate hydration (caffeine and alcohol are diuretics), exercise and consistent sleep.

Yes to the exercise.

@drClaw Hope you feel better soon. Get as much rest as you can and drink lots of fluids!

@drClaw Put more blues on. That always energizes me!

Haven’t tried it, but it’s on my list… Cover your left nostril, breathe in and out through your nose, in on a 4 count, hold 2, and out 4. Do daily and work up to 10 minutes. In a comparative study of left vs right vs alternate nostril breathing (a yoga technique) right nostril breathing 27 cycles 4x per day yielded 37% increase in baseline O2 consumption (vs 24% and 18% for left & alternate). Breathe into your belly, of course.

From The Thyroid Diet.

@kevbo I just did it once and went all dizzy… is that a good thing?

@lynneblundell You probably need to breathe slower if that happens. I’ve used that technique before.

^what he said

oh right… I thought it was part of the fun.. lol

Yeah, regular daily exercise do boost up energy (stamina too).
Do you eat enough? and drink (water or other healthy drinks)?
Take good sleep to restore your energy.

How long do you work at a stretch? Take rests in between, and light exercise like @jonsblond said.
Laugh frequently, take some time in pleasure, hobbies, entertainment and such activities.

Also, keep yourself mentally fit and happy!
I have read somewhere mental fatigue or flaw can harm physical health

I’ve found that mint (gum, ‘mints’, tea) helps.

So does laughing, as weird as it sounds.
