Good Morning, Sunshine!
Waking up early is one of the most dreaded parts of our lives, unless we’re waking up to catch an early flight to Tahiti. Nearly every morning, most of us go through the same basic routine: we’re rudely awakened by the nagging sound of the alarm on our phones, then we fumble around in a half-coma to put it on sleep mode for 9 more precious minutes of sweet slumber.
After we’ve finally managed to sit up, we reluctantly stumble along to the bathroom, groaning about our various aches and pains or maybe about the stressful day ahead of us. Or maybe both.
Finally, we’re in the kitchen, desperately trying to stand up straight while inhaling the delicious aroma of freshly brewing coffee, counting the seconds until we can take that first glorious sip.
But what if there’s a better way to wake up? And how about those midday lows? And what if you don’t drink coffee altogether? Who are you, even?? Seriously, though, we shouldn’t have to depend on caffeine to give us that energy boost every time we need it. Surely there must be a better way.
Luckily, there is!
Today we’re going to share 3 ways that you can easily boost your energy without drinking coffee. And, yes, they’re enjoyable too!
Caffeine-free Energy
One of the main problems us adult humans have is that we sit indoors too much. That’s actually two problems, if you want to get technical.
While sitting and working at your office might be great for productivity, it’s not great for your health. Our bodies need to move on occasion, and we don’t do enough of that when we’re indoors and sitting down most of the day.
Take a Walk
Therefore, it’s important to take a few minutes to get up and walk around outside if possible. Stretch your legs, breathe in some fresh air, and get your blood moving. If going outside isn’t an option, walk up and down your office or hallway. Who cares if others start making comments? Just stick out your tongue at them and say, “I know you are but what am I?”
After a few minutes of walking, you’ll be good as new!
Quick Bite to Eat!
Another way to boost your energy is to eat something, for goodness’ sake! How many of us go hungry all day long, running on fumes because we don’t care for our bodies the way we should? And, no, greasy burgers and fried foods don’t count. Opt for a refreshing fruit smoothie or a light salad. That will also prevent the notorious food coma fairy from paying you a visit later on in the afternoon.
The Secret of Scenting
The third way to boost your energy can and should be used in conjunction with the first two. This secret is only known to a select few, but those that know its powers swear by it. The secret is….
Scenting!
Energize with Invigorating Aromas
Scenting is a powerful way to improve your mood, relax, help you sleep, and energize. Aromatherapy is such an easy way to change the course of your entire day, and it does this almost instantly.
Lèlior has a selection of all-natural, vegan, non-toxic and chemical free fragrance oils that will energize you without any of the side effects of coffee. Sure, you can’t eat our fragrance oils, but look on the bright side - there’s no calories, either!
Many of our fragrances contain ingredients that energize, from Santal 18 with its citrusy flavors, to Le Chemin, with its gorgeous fusion of lemon, citrus, and refreshing green tea and laurel leaf. Encore, inspired by its namesake hotel, is an invigorating blend of lemon, verbena, rain and sea accord, and hedione. Hedione is a unique combination of light jasmine scent and citrusy freshness.
Of course, lemon and citrus aren’t the only scents that energize. Fruity scents are just as uplifting, as they contain a hint of sweetness that most find irresistible. Our Bois Sombre is a rare blend of lychee, plum, and black currant, with spicy kicks of pink pepper and patchouli. This intensely beautiful mix is rounded out with grounding notes of sandalwood and musk.
You can find more fruity freshness and exotic scents in our Destination Collection.
Energy and Creative are citrus-flavored essential oils that are part of Lelior’s potent Aromatherapy Collection. With ingredients such as orange, eucalyptus, mint, and grapefruit, you won’t just have energy. You’ll have energy and a smile all day long!
Energy is Life
So many of us struggle just to get through the day. The weight of our demands can feel overwhelming, and this can affect our mentality and behavior. A quick and easy way to pull ourselves out of this rut is to turn up the energy using high-quality fragrance oils.
