How to Keep Your Energy Up During the Workday #ad #RefreshersRun

While in the workplace over the course of an eight hour day, you may find yourself zapped for energy. Attending meetings, conducting phone conferences, and tackling your to-do list can certainly leave you feeling drained, all before lunchtime. It is important to utilize tips that keep your energy going throughout the day so that you work smarter, not harder. I have a few things in mind that you can do throughout your workday that can help keep up your stamina so you get the job done well.

How to keep your energy up during the workday? Here’s some words of advice:

45/15 Rule

In order to continue a healthy oxygen flow and help keep your fortitude throughout your day, you can utilize my 45/15 rule. It goes like this: for every 45 minutes of work, you do 15 minutes of movement. This can be something as simple as walking in place while on a call, stretching in your office, lifting small weights while on hold—anything that gets you moving and out of your seat. Doing so will increase endorphins that can help keep your energy up so you won’t burn out while at work.

Say Yes to the Afternoon Hump

At work, the hours between 2pm and 3pm can be the worst. Opt for snacks that act as super-foods (like peanuts) which can naturally increase energy levels. Say no to those drinks that offer you a huge boost of energy but come with horrible side effects, and make the most of your afternoon so you can clock out and enjoy the rest of your evening post-work. In my home office, I turn that negative into a positive with Starbucks Refreshers, which helps get me over the afternoon hump. They are made with real fruit juice and give you the same caffeine coffee offers without the “coffee” flavor.

You can also beat the afternoon blahs by getting up and moving around the office. Take the steps while on break and go outside and get some fresh air. Walk to your manager’s office instead of sending an email. This can help keep your blood flowing and your energy up.

Eat a Healthy Lunch

Opting for takeout or a heavy lunch can cause you to crash later. Go for a lighter lunch that is healthier for you and try to avoid takeout when you can. Pack your lunch and bring salads and wraps with you to work. Fruits and veggies are also natural foods that can help increase your energy level and ensure that you have more pep in your step.

Take a Multi Vitamin

Taking a multi vitamin as directed not only helps boost your immunity, but can also help increase your energy level. Talk to your physician or pharmacist about a multi vitamin that is right for you, and watch your vitality improve.

Now that you’ve got my words of advice on how to keep your energy up during the workday, it is time for you to put them to the test. For revitalizing energy while at work, be sure to make a #RefreshersRun to get Starbucks Refreshers. They are offered in an array of flavors (Strawberry Lemonade, Blueberry Acai, and Raspberry Pomegranate) and are available to purchase in cans at your favorite Starbucks location or at a local retailer near you.

When you have the cans readily nearby, you can concentrate on work refilling your cup when needed. Chill the cans in the office refrigerator, or keep them at your desk and use over ice. Either way, you are refreshed quickly with flavor (and only 90 calories per can so no guilt, either!).
