ESPMeditation can help clear your mind and allow you to refocus – especially when your brain slows down during the long afternoon. Experts say that just taking a few deep breaths can boost your energy levels and help clear out brain fog. It can also help reduce stress and anxiety, which further depletes energy. Here are some other ideas:
• Turn on some tunes. Music can have a powerful effect on your mood and energy level. Make a playlist of peppy songs to play while you're eating lunch. Need renewed focus? Try instrumental music.
• Take a nap. There's solid science to suggest that a 15- to 20-minute nap can help restore energy and focus. But if you sleep more than an hour, you may find that a nap leaves you feeling groggy and unable to sleep at night. Remember to set alarm so you don't oversleep.
