4 Ways to refresh your body & mind

February 4, 2021

Sometimes we can feel stale and sluggish and stuck in a daily rut. We may get up at the same time each day, and go to bed at the same time each night. Our yearning for something different may result in us taking up a new hobby or booking a holiday. 

When a person wants to feel fully refreshed, there are several things they can do to make them feel more alive and motivated. We’ll discuss four of these together right now. 

1. Healthy Energy Boosters


We may be struggling to maintain concentration at work, and desiring a mid-morning treat. Rather than reaching for a chocolate bar and a stiff coffee, it’s wiser to consider more healthy options. Whilst coffee can give us a caffeine buzz just when we need it, it will, unfortunately, be short-lived. 

In contrast, Matcha drinks contain L-theanine amino acid, which helps produce a slower and more steady energy release. It also contains less caffeine than normal coffee. Anyone who decides to click here will also discover that the drink can help with our moods, and reduce feelings of stress. People can also drink Matcha tea, which contains more nutrition than normal teas. 

People can also use Matcha to create energy bites, instead of consuming cakes and cookies. They can include such healthy ingredients as oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, and dried fruits. People can use these mini-bites for breakfast or dessert, too. 

2. A Healthy Diet


When people feel tired and sluggish they may not feel in the mood for cooking healthy meals. Instead, they may choose processed food that contains lots of fats and sugar. Some people eat to reward themselves, to feel loved or because they are bored. When folk eats overly large portions, they simply overload their digestion and become even more sluggish. When a few glasses of wine are added to the mix, the scenario is complete. 

The best way to start the day is by eating healthy whole-grain foods such as bagels, rolls, or cereals. As with Matcha, such breakfast choices can produce a slow release of energy that will tide people over till lunchtime. When people eat a healthy diet and take regular exercise, they will feel more refreshed by the day. 

3. Have An Exercise Routine


In order to maintain this, it’s important to choose something you will enjoy. Don’t pay for a gym membership if you’re not going to keep up with it. Playing sports with friends can be exhilarating, and the social element can also make people feel more refreshed and alive. 

Whatever you do, take at least thirty minutes each day to perform the exercise. Go outside and get some fresh air if you can, especially if you have been indoors all day. The exercise needs to get your heart rate going. If you don’t feel hot and sweaty by the end of it, you may need to up your game!

The beauty of exercise is that it releases adrenaline into our system, alongside endorphins and other chemicals. They make us feel good, and all without the use of illegal drugs or prescription medication. 

At bedtime, it is important that both our brains and our bodies are tired. This will help us achieve a better quality of sleep, and to awaken feeling refreshed. 

4. Practice Mindfulness And Affirmations


It’s beneficial to practice at least ten minutes of
mindfulness during the day, and also before sleep. This will involve relaxing your body and slowing down your thoughts. You can become focused on the present moment, instead of the past or what you need to do next. Research shows that mindfulness can relax the body and mind, and help people gain perspective in their lives. 

This practice can be enhanced by using mindfulness apps. They often include special scripts and relaxing music. There may even be background noise to help people – such as trains, the seashore, or the rain. 

When people speak positive affirmations each day, their feelings and emotions will begin to change. Imagine how you might feel if the words ‘I can do this,’ ‘I am loved’, or ‘there is always a solution’ sank into your unconscious mind. You will have rewired your brain for a more healthy and positive mindset. 

As we have seen, there are several practical things we can do to make ourselves feel more refreshed. They can benefit our minds as well as our bodies. Rather than choosing one practice in isolation, it is better to do them all. Then we will think, eat and exercise in exciting new ways.
