3 Tips for more energy !

I know that the month of June can be intense for parents and especially teachers (if June is your last month of teaching). The evenings are busy running to soccer games and we stay up late for our Oilers games! (Any other hockey fans here ?!) As the school year draws to a close (or summer holidays starting !), we all have a list of things to do before June 29/30.

So here are 3 tips to increase your energy so as not to be exhausted before or during the summer holidays!

1. Get moving!
When our body is moving, we wake up the brain and all the other cells of our body by oxygenating it. I have often noticed that a 30 minute brisk walk in the morning allows me to stretch my energy and even avoid having a second cup of coffee in the afternoon. The sun rises earlier now and can encourage us to take an early morning walk, jog or even just stretch to keep us energized throughout the day.

2. Drink water 💦
Often when we are tired, we are actually dehydrated! A dehydrated body will actually be tired! It is essential to drink water. Do what it takes to encourage yourself. Maybe it's an alarm on the phone every hour to remind you, or add lemon to improve the taste or simply make a little daily challenge and add a check mark ✅ after each glass you have had.

3. If after these two tips, you are still very tired, a naturally caffeinated drink made from green tea, guarana and B vitamins could help you stay awake and alert in the late afternoon to end your day in style ( or keep your eyes open during hockey games !)

So tell me, which tip are you going to try first?
