My tips to maintaining good energy levels

Here's what I usually do:

1. Get up at a fixed time every morning. Usually your body will oversleep by default, and that can make you more tired. Sleeping in will not boost your energy. I set my alarm clock at 6:30 every morning, even during weekends or public holidays. I love to feel the morning coldness and transquility, and those early birds chirping for food., a side effect of getting up early every day even on weekends is that you have to sleep less and feel more rested.

2. Exercise. Give yourself half an hour each day for some exercises, like jogging, walking or ball games. I understand by the time we beat the traffic jam to reach home, it is already 7 or 8 pm. How to workout in this case? So my tip is to do it during weekends, while on weekdays, try to walk as much as you can.I guarantee you after a few weeks of constant exercise, your energy level will improve and you won't feel that tired.

3. Eat healthily. I know food here tastes great. Try to reduce oil and fried food.

4. Don't stay up late. If you sleep through the alarm clock or subconsiously turn it off in your sleep you're not getting enough sleep. Turn it up louder if this happens. I find if I stay up past 1 am I usually can't get out of bed very easily the next morning. So I make it a point to sleep by 11pm or latest 12.

5. Stop thinking that you hate feeling a lack of energy. Do not think you are tired..Stop saying you are tired.
