25 Instant Energy Boosters

Real Simple magazine is simply refreshing.  I'm sharing the "25 Instant Energy Boosters" below, in hopes it inspires you to read the featured article by Eleni Gage in July's issue (some headlines may seem odd without the full explanation).  I mean, who doesn't have trouble getting out of bed in the morning when faced with 9+ hours at the office?  Sometimes we all need a boost of energy!

2.  Get a whiff of citrus.
3.  Follow this eat-for-energy timeline.
4.  Get the giggles.
5.  Dab on a jasmine-infused fragrance.  (My personal FAVORITE.)
6.  Sit up straight.
7.  Enjoy your daily Cup of Joe - or a healthy handful of Hershey's Kisses.
8.  Pop a peppermint.
9.  Be nice to a stranger.
10.  Rise and seek sunshine.

12.  Beware of energy vampires.

15.  Exhale.
16.  Pull your hair.
17.  Do interval exercise in the morning.

19.  Write a thank-you note.
20.  Embrace the three-minute meditation.
21.  Fill a vase with fresh flowers.
22.  End your shower with a burst of cold water.  (The best.)
