We all have days when we’re feeling a little more low-energy than usual. We’re overtired, stressed, or maybe we’re handling some life challenges that wear us out. 

We know that when we’re feeling jazzed, energized and upbeat—those good feelings show on our faces. 

But how do you get from here to there? If you’ve done the basics—like get some rest and eat a healthy meal—but you’re still not feeling charged up, what else can you do? How do you boost your energy when it’s feeling low?  

I’ve found a few tricks that help give me a great boost, get my blood flowing, and get me recharged when I’m feeling a little low energy. 

As a bonus, once I’m feeling re-energized, it shows up on my face!

Whatever does it for you—playing music, drawing, writing, gardening, or cooking something new. 

Even if you only have an hour to spare, see what happens if you use it to tap into your creativity.

This week, I was handling a ton of work. It was enough that I was starting to feel drained. Right in the middle of it, I just put the computer down and took an hour for my own creativity. I roasted a bunch of vegetables and made something delicious from scratch. It completely shifted my state and recharged my batteries to get through the rest of the work day.

Take a moment for your skin. 

When I’m feeling drained, I often look drained too. Then every time I look in the mirror it reinforces the feeling. 

When that happens, I take a moment to moisturize with something nourishing (like Boomsilk). Also, I perk my cheeks up with a little Boomstick Color. The result? My skin looks (and feels) better, and my reflection in the mirror is much more positive.

It’s worth noting that Boom products don’t cover or hide anything. A little Boomstick Color on my cheeks or forehead just makes me look like I’m naturally blushing. I look like myself—only happy and energized. Sometimes just putting on a little on can help spark that feeling for me.
