Plus it\u2019s a quick snack you can have anywhere, in between tasks or to munch on during a conference call (just make sure you\u2019re on mute).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Black_tea_or_Green_tea\"><\/span><strong>Black tea or Green tea<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Coffee isn&#8217;t your only go-to source for caffeine. There&#8217;s tea too. It\u00a0won&#8217;t\u00a0have as much caffeine as your usual cup of coffee, which means less of the shaking and the palpitations, and no fear of crashing. Try a few cups of tea during those crazy long meetings or through an email-answering marathon and you\u2019ll find it gives you more relaxed focus to your tasks. Plus, tea is packed with antioxidants that double your productivity. Not only are you getting things done but fighting disease while you&#8217;re at it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Workout\"><\/span><strong>Workout<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>If you want to wake up, nothing is going to wake you up like a few pushups.\u00a0At the office, why not \u00a0do a few pushups beside your desk or run 100 times through the revolving door at your office lobby just to get your blood circulation going in your brain. Getting your daily dose of cardio is great for increasing your energy in the long run. Even a few quick games at a nearby arcade\u2019s Just Dance will do! Getting the body moving will get the brain moving.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_good_laugh\"><\/span><strong>A good laugh<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Let&#8217;s admit it, we all sneak in a bit of Facebook, reddit, 9gag or YouTube during office hours. Although you shouldn\u2019t quote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalibrr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kalibrr<\/a>\u00a0when we say it\u2019s not a bad thing, it really could do you good to have a nice hearty chuckle. A laugh wakes you up and raises your happiness level, putting you in a good mood again to get things done. Put those funny viral videos to even better use.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inspiration\"><\/span><strong>Inspiration<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Give yourself a deeper and more genuine rush, by getting inspired. Watch a few TED videos, learn something new or read an article about something you\u2019re passionate about. I personally recommend giving a loved one a call to catch up. There\u2019s nothing that makes you jump off your seat more than a sense of purpose.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chocolate\"><\/span><strong>Chocolate<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Yes, ladies, it is true. And there is science to prove it. Dark chocolate contains a bit of caffeine and Theobromine which is known to raise serotonin levels. The same chemical responsible for maintaining a balanced mood. But I don\u2019t have to sell a chocolate break to you, a bite of chocolate is convincing enough.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We all have our own tricks to liven up the daily grind.
