It\u2019s like they can\u2019t stop yawning and accomplishing any kind of task can seem like it takes three times the effort it should.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re one of the many, millions of people out there who suffer from some serious daytime fatigue, this blog is for you! Of course, getting <a href=\"https:\/\/faithfulworkouts.com\/blog\/2017\/8\/21\/trouble-sleeping-10-tips-to-help-you-fall-and-stay-asleep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">enough sleep<\/a> the night before is a big part of not feeling tired the next day, but it\u2019s not the <em>only <\/em>part. We\u2019ve got 8, simple ways that you can combat daytime fatigue and have more energy through the day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. DRINK ENOUGH WATER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Did you know one of the number one causes of daytime headaches is actually dehydration?! Being dehydrated can not only cause headaches but can also leave you feeling lethargic and unmotivated. So, start your morning with a big glass of water and keep it going throughout the day!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. CUT BACK ON THE CAFFEINE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A lot of you aren\u2019t going to like this one, but caffeine, while providing an initial energy boost, can leave us feeling even more fatigued later in the day (especially if that caffeine is filled with fatty milk and lots of sugar!). Caffeine also dehydrates your body, but,\u00a0if you can\u2019t give up that cup of Joe, at least make sure it\u2019s free of sugar and that you\u2019re drinking even more water to compensate.<\/p>\n<p>**Also, Forbes Magazine reported some research about the optimal times to drink your coffee: <em>\u201c<\/em><em>Therefore, timing your \u201ccoffee breaks\u201d (an apt term) between 9:30-11:30 and 1:30 and 5:00 takes advantage of the dips in your cortisol levels when you need a boost the most. The best times to drink coffee are when your cortisol levels naturally dip.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that we\u2019re a big proponent of exercise here at Faithful Workouts. Getting up and moving your body and starting your day with a workout really can make all the difference! 30 minutes a day is recommended to reap all the health benefits of exercise, but even fifteen minutes over your lunch break can do wonders for your energy levels.<\/p>\n<p>Join me in this 10 minute \u201cMood Changing Workout\u201d. It\u2019s sure to wake you up, put a smile on your face and give you extra energy for your day!<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" title=\"PAZAZ Mood Changer\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/175957491?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. WATCH WHAT YOU EAT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re starting your day off with a giant pastry and a huge coffee\u2026it\u2019s not going to bode well for you later. We\u2019ve all had the feeling of going out to a big lunch and then having to come back to the office when all we really want to do is nap.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid the mid-afternoon crash, avoid high-fat, high-carb\/sugar breakfasts and lunches, and make sure you\u2019re getting your protein in. Try snacking more often throughout the day with things like almonds, apples, turkey roll-ups, berries, organic beef jerky, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for some easy healthy breakfast recipes? Join us over at <a href=\"https:\/\/faithfulworkouts.com\/the-fresh-table\/\">The Fresh Table<\/a> for lots of yummy options!<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. COMMUNICATE WITH GOD THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nothing gives me energy like saying a quick prayer or listening to some uplifting music. God says we can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us, so pray for energy and strength throughout your day.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cRejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.\u201d\u00a01 Thessalonians 5:16-18<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. LAUGH MORE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It sounds silly, but a good laugh really can change the whole direction of your day. Whether it\u2019s taking five minutes to talk to a close (and funny) friend, or reading a few jokes over your morning coffee or lunch break \u2013\u00a0take a second to laugh.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. GET UP AND MOVE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is especially important if you work at a desk and are sitting in one position all day. Take a second to jog up and down the stairs once, or even just make it a habit to stand and stretch every 30 minutes\u2014whatever works for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. DO SOMETHING THAT SCARES YOU OR MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This one might sound strange, but the fact of the matter is\u2014routine, while helpful, can also make us entrap and enslave us. The same thing every day? It\u2019s enough to make anyone feel bored and tired. So change up your routine! Invite someone to lunch, ask someone if you can pray for them, whatever it is, challenge yourself to get out of your desk and out of your comfort zone!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script  type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\t\t\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\t\t\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\n\t\t\t\t\tn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\t\t\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\n\t\t\t\t\tdocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\t\t\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/faithfulworkouts.com\/2016-10-3-8-ways-to-combat-daytime-fatigue\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=2016-10-3-8-ways-to-combat-daytime-fatigue\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there\u2019s one problem I\u2019ve consistently heard over and over again from family, friends, and coworkers, it\u2019s that they feel tired and zapped of their energy throughout the day.
