As we try to keep up with hectic activity demands by consuming  more caffeine, sugar, and other energy “boosters” we become more frazzled, get  less quality sleep, and add more chronic stress.
It’s that sort of  vicious cycle that leads into a downward spiral of poor physical and/or mental  health. There are natural solutions we can begin to practice, increasingly  allowing new habits to replace our energy draining-behavior and rejuvenate  depleted energy naturally.
Mild dehydration that is often not apparent  can be a source of fatigue. Drink good water if you’re feeling run-down from a  reliable source, not sodas or caffeinated beverages.

Minimize discharging energy and maximize recharging

1. Sleep is the  foundation of recharging your energy. It’s the quality of sleep more than the  amount of hours that allows your immune system to re-organize and recharge. Make  sure you give yourself some time to unwind before retiring. Restful music or a  relaxing walk in nature can help.
When you hit the sack, make sure sounds  and lights are non-existent, unless you’re sleeping outdoors or on a porch. Turn  off EMF-emitting devices or keep them far away. More on quality sleep in the  sleep article, source below.
2. Getting rattled, upset, and fretting  about imagined future situations drains your energy. Two psychological methods  for that are witnessing and humor. When you witness, you observe attentively  from a neutral, non-attached and non-controlling.
For example, getting  upset about traffic and traffic lights, banging on the steering wheel and  cursing everyone around you is actually exhausting. But so is suppressing your  emotions.
Work at doing neither. Practice at becoming an impartial  observer and witness without negative emotions. Realize that you can’t control  all external activities, but you can control your reactions to them.
A  helpful gimmick is humor. Whenever the absurdity of any situation begins to  irritate you laugh or at least snicker, either at the situation or the  absurdity of your rising temper. Laughter is a great tension release  valve.
3. There are mild exercise routines that are meant to relax and  center you while giving you more energy.  Yoga, especially if climaxed with the corpse pose correctly, is the most  commonly adopted energy expanding exercise from India.
Tai chi is also  designed to increase our energy. Qi gong or chi gong is the esoteric predecessor  to popularized tai chi, and it has proven to heal  chronic maladies as well. And now there’s a newly imported routine known as the  Five Tibetans. See two Five Tibetan demos below.
4. If your work involves  lots of indoor sitting, standing and moving moderately while changing your field  of vision is helpful. Standing and moving your body a bit works muscles enough  to release tension and get bodily fluids moving.
Looking at interesting  sights outside windows or anywhere but you computer screen can help you become  alert again. These things should be done briefly but often throughout your work  day. Each event should be done long enough to refresh you. You’ll wind up  getting more work done with less anxiety.
5. Grounding is an ancient  technique that is even more appropriate for our electronically polluted  environment. It literally lets you discharge pent-up electrical c
