Slough Off the Slump in the Shower
You’re in a rush and about to hop into the shower, but you could just as easily hop right back into bed. Make this moment work double time with an energizing coffee body scrub that’ll make you look and feel a bit more bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Choose one that’s whipped to perfection so you can exfoliate your body or face in mere minutes (no cleanup necessary).
Pop Some Fruity MegaFood Gummy Vitamins
[post_ads]Fact: That 2 p.m. feeling can hit any time of day. And when it does, you need something that counteracts it—quickly. As soon as you feel a slump coming on, reach for MegaFood® B12 gummy vitamins, supplements made with real food from trusted farm partners that also happen to taste really great. You can take them whenever you need throughout the day, they’re full of nutrients to help nourish your body and they contain only two grams of sugar or less per serving. Keeping a jar of Gummy B12 Energy in your bag will give you the oomph you need the minute you need it—so you can tackle the third meeting in a row or give that dance cardio class your best shot.*
Move Your Houseplants Closer to Your Work Space
Drained energy, allergies, headaches…these are all common symptoms we suffer from the pollutants whizzing around indoors. Plants cleanse the air and filter out toxins, so keeping several at your desk (or wherever you spend the most time) could help keep fatigue at bay.
Swipe Some Lemon Behind Your Ears
[post_ads]Don’t pluck the wedge out of your water and dab it onto your skin, but do keep a lemon essential oil in your bag for moments when you’re feeling anything but perky. Lemon is a stimulating scent and the only essential oil that’s actually a proven mood booster. So take a whiff and make it last by patting a bit behind your ear.
Do Some Light Research for Your Next Vacation
When you’re stuck in the middle of mundane to-dos, your energy levels can fall flat pretty quickly. A great way to boost them is to refresh your mind by changing course for a few minutes. Take a break from whatever it is you’re doing and get lost in some wanderlust Googling. Have a vacation coming up? Research some fun activities. Trying to figure out where to go next? Take to Instagram and spend a few minutes bookmarking images of fabulous destinations.

Stretch Out in Downward Dog
Not only does a little yoga get your blood flowing again, but studies suggest it could also fight anxiety or depression. So if a tough day has you drained, find a quiet spot to roll out your mat and do a few yoga stretches to alleviate stress and get your energy back up. P.S. Savasana totally counts.
