3 simple secrets to beat the midweek slump and boost your energy
We love the cosy hygge vibes of winter, but there’s no denying grey skies and the winter blues take a toll on our energy supply. While you might master Monday and Tuesday, by Wednesday, the famous "hump day’’, it’s common to feel like your batteries all ran out. Here are 3 secrets to beating the midweek slump and re-charging your energy ASAP.
Get this in your diary: Wednesday = walk.
It doesn’t have to be a long one – studies show that just one 20-minute brisk walk could boost your energy as much as a cup of coffee does!
Why not set your alarm for 20 minutes earlier on the infamous humpday, so you have time to start your day right.
The second secret is simple. Shift your Sunday reset to a Wednesday.
It might feel a bit ‘iffy’ at first, changing your bed sheets and sprucing up your home in the middle of the week, but a fresh space could be just what your need to power through to Friday.
Add a spritz of Energy Boost Moodfix Mist around your work space, and put a few drops of our Energy Boost Diffuser Oil into your Aroma Spa Diffuser.
The motivational blend of Orange, Lime and Grapefruit helps revive and reinvigorate your mindset throughout the day and week.
Do you notice the choccy cravings kicking in midweek? That’s because your body craves sugar when your energy levels are low. The flip side? You end up with a sugar crash on top of your midweek slump!
Instead, focus on food that fuels your energy throughout the day, such as complex carbohydrates and filling fruits and vegetables.
There are lots of useful recipes on BBC Good Food. Here’s a midweek meal plan you might want to follow:
