1.Drink Water ? a lot of the time that you have chronic fatigue and feel that you are not at your best, you are dehydrated. This is especially a problem in dry air conditioned offices and when you are busy you can forget to refuel. You wouldn't expect a car to run on empty why would you expect your body to do it. A glass of tap water is all it takes, your body will thank you with renewed alertness.

2.Exhale - When we are in a rush and the stress adrenaline is pumping, we tend to take quick shallow breathes, this does not efficiently empty our lungs and reduces the amount of oxygen we can inhale. When we talk about breathing, many people focus on the in breath when the exhalation breath is as equally important. A great place to spend a minute or two doing breathing exercises is in the car before you turn the car on and drive. It is safe and private, it is great to show your kids as well.

Exercise: Sit with good posture

Inhale a complete breath

Hold for a few seconds

Breathe out all the air in a deep sigh

The next in breath will come naturally

Repeat as you wish

3.The Power Nap ? A nap is a quick way to boost your alertness and keep going in any task, this is especially great for students who are cramming for exams as the brain becomes distracted after a while. Also mums with young children may like to nap with their child. It prevents dozing in front of the TV later in the evening. A power nap is usually classified is a nap of 10 to 20 minutes if you are concern about oversleeping into a deep sleep, set your mobile alarm. I have found that I return to previously difficult tasks with renewed energy.

All three of these suggestions are free, can be implemented immediately and studies show that they improve health and emotional well being thus reducing the stresses of modern life.
