Give Your Head a Good Scratch
Scratching brings blood flow to the brain, stimulating and soothing all the hard-working neurons.

Extend a fingertip to the base of your skull where your spine meets your head, at the indentation between the two long splenius muscles running down your neck. Scratch lightly to stimulate the spinal nerves that connect to the brain. Scratch each temple and trace an arc just outside your ears.

Try a banana
Franca Alphin, a dietitian at Duke University, touts bananas as a great energy booster. That’s why tennis players eat them so often between sets. The lift comes from fruit sugar and the effect lasts up to two hours. Best of all, for us folks always on the go, they’re super easy to carry.

Tap into your sexual energy
They don’t call it energy for nothing! It’s the primal drive, the pleasure from being close, the urge to celebrate and continue life. Sex—alone or with a loved one—can relax you, energize you, put you back in your body. An executive wearing a red lace teddy under her career suit knows that this isn’t necessarily about maintaining femininity but about keeping connected to a glow of aliveness and spark. Explore your sense of your sexual body as an energy, not an act, and it can help you breeze through your day.
