Find yourself dragging by the midday? Here are some tips to help you rev up and energize:

• Get six to eight hours of sleep each night.
  
• Eat balanced, nutritious meals and healthy snacks and remember that a good breakfast is a great way to “jump-start” your day.
  
• Take mini breaks to stand up, stretch and move around to get your blood flowing.
  
• Do some deep breathing.
  
• Got for a short walk to get some fresh air.
  
• Drink enough water so you don’t get dehydrated.
  
• Laugh and have some fun. Humor increases energy and is good for mental health.
  
• Manage and reduce your stress. Stress can really sap your energy.
