Most of us have experienced it.

大多數人都曾經歷過。

Those last few hours between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. when we still need to get things done and be productive, but have trouble focusing because of low energy levels.

在下午一點到五點這短短幾個小時，明明還有事等著我們去有效率地完成，卻因為能量不足難以專注。

Doing certain mental and physical activities during these hours can help you improve your mood and increase your energy levels.

在這段時間做些心靈和身體上的活動可以幫助你提振心情和能量。

So, if you want to avoid feeling tired after lunch time, here are 5 ideas for an energizing afternoon routine.

所以，假如你想避免午飯後的疲憊感，以下是五個幫助你午後打起精神的方法。

The first one is healthy snacking.

第一，吃健康的零食。

Restore your energy levels by eating or drinking something healthy.

吃或喝一些健康的食物能讓你恢復精力。

For example, you can hydrate yourself by drinking water or make a delicious smoothie that will restore your energy.

例如，你可以喝些水或做一杯可口的果昔來補充水分、增加能量。

The second one is to go for a walk and get some fresh air.

第二，出去走走、呼吸新鮮空氣。

If you've been inside all day, getting outside will switch your focus to something other than what you've been doing throughout your day.

如果你已經待在室內一整天，出去走走能讓你將注意力從忙了一整天的事轉移到其他事物上。

The third one is a meditation.

第三，冥想。

Doing some deep breathing for even 5 minutes can clear your head and bring you back into the present moment.

好好地深呼吸，就算只有五分鐘也能讓你梳理頭緒並重新進入狀況。

This is a time to rest your brain from any worries you've had throughout the day.

這段時間你可以讓你的腦袋從整天的煩惱中抽離，好好休息。

The fourth one is personal progress.

第四，個人成長。

Do something that will bring you closer to where you want to be in the future.

做些能讓你更接近夢想的事。

If you have a personal project you've been wanting to work on but have been putting off,

若你有個想實施很久，卻一直拖延的個人計畫。

Give it your full attention for ten minutes.

花十分鐘全心貫注在這件事上。

Once that time is up, you can either keep going because you got started or you can just stop right there because at least you've taken one small step towards your goal.

時間到之後，你可以繼續做，畢竟已經開始了；或者就此打住，因為至少你已往目標邁進一小步了。

And remember, doing something is better than nothing!

記住，有做總比沒做好！

The fifth one is to expand your mind.

第五，擴展你的思維。

You can read an interesting book, watch a documentary, or listen to an interview with someone you find inspiring.

你可以看一本有趣的書、一部紀錄片或收聽一位能激勵你的人的專訪。

Feed your mind with positivity and inspiring content that makes you want to be the best you can be.

讓正能量和勵志的思維填滿你的心思，成為最棒的自己。

You might experience a slower afternoon every now and then.

你偶爾會經歷一個效率較差的午後。

But that's why you can use these tips the next time you struggle to make it throughout the day.

所以你下次覺得難以熬過一天時可以試試這些方法。

Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you next time!
