LIVELY UP YOURSELF GET 2020 OFF TO FLYER WITH THESE FIVE TIPS DESIGNED TO INCREASE YOUR STAMINA AND HELP YOU STAY ALERT Staying alert for the whole day can be quite difficult at times, especially if you’ve had a bad night’s sleep or have been overexerting yourself. The team at www.theGO2brand.com have compiled five tips to help you increase your stamina and stay on the ball Watch what you eat Your body and mind will thank you in many ways for consuming nutritious foods and not skipping breakfast. As everyone says – breakfast is the most important meal of the day and should not be missed. Cut down on the amount of sugar, processed foods and caffeine that you usually put into your body and instead reach for plenty of water, fruit, veg and nutritious snacks, such as nuts, Greek yoghurt and dark chocolate. Skipping breakfast and fuelling your body with the wrong foods will make you feel tired and sluggish, so counteract that and treat your body like a temple. Rise early They say that the early bird gets the worm, and it really can make a huge difference to the day getting up slightly earlier than what you usually do and ticking a few tasks off the daily to-do list. By the time you finish work and the evening rolls around, energy levels have typically fallen and you will

likely just want to go home and unwind. An alternative? Rise earlier. Get up, make breakfast, clean the house, go to the gym. Generally just do something productive with the time; do things that you’d usually do in the evenings and free up a little time to yourself, taking some of the pressure off. It also sets you up right for the day, getting you in the mood to be productive. Benefit from essential oils Some people unfortunately do not have the luxury of getting up and moving during their day, and this is where essential oils can be great for keeping stamina and energy levels increased. You can get diffusers and supplements, but the fastest way to benefit from essential oils is to inhale them. The GO2 Brand offer four 100% natural vegan inhaler sticks, including Energy which incorporates eucalyptus, peppermint and lemongrass to help support performance and focus, which is a mix of rosemary. Peppermint and

lime helps with concentration and keeping you alert. In small, compact packaging, inhaler sticks can be carried anywhere and everywhere and inhaled as and when you need them. Keep moving While we most commonly yawn because we’re tired, it’s also a sign that our body needs oxygen. When oxygen hits your lungs, the blood is pumped quicker and you’re more alert to everything around you. Whether you’ve gone on a quick morning run or taken a brisk walk to work, your stamina will increase and so will your energy levels, therefore allowing you to keep that constant level of energy throughout the day. Stay positive Negative thoughts can bring energy levels down; something that you don’t need if your day constantly requires a lot of energy and need for focus. Remaining positive not only reduces stress, but you will also find that you are more open to face situations head on and be willing to get stuck in.
