Want more energy?
Want more energy to put into turning your dreams into reality? Suzanne Falter-Barns, author of How Much Joy Can You Stand?, offers some energy building ideas. In a nutshell, she suggests:
Dedicate your peak time of day to your dream. Are you a lark or an owl? Get clear on this key fact, then add an extra hour in this time zone for work on your dream...
Indulge in a Four o’clock protein bar or shake. Replace the guilty candy bar in your desk drawer with a snack that’s actually got enough protein to tide you well into the evening hours...
Keep a lean office/work space. Nothing drains energy faster than clutter, especially that which accumulates on desktops...
Stop working at least an hour before bed. Even if you’re a night owl who loves to create deep into the night, give yourself some true down time at least an hour before bed...
Avoid junk food; drink water instead. It’s an old saw, but it bears repeating. Nothing depletes your system quite like junk food...Refresh your mind. On a regular basis, try to offer it something stimulating, fun and not work or dream-related. Consider playing an instrument, or going to a weekly dance or yoga class...
Take brainstorming walks. This is a daily exercise walk in which you clear your mind, and use the time for either a little reflection on what you’re creating, or for possible spiritual connection...
Eat your lunch at your desk. It’s a simple solution, and remarkably effective. The simple act of bringing a sandwich to work, pulling it out, closing the door, and doing a little work on your dream mid-day can deeply increase your commitment to your dream...

Very interesting. I read in a book that the brain is as capable of working at the end of 8 hours as it was in the beginning. It is actually our emotions that make us tired. One should try and avoid interpersonal conflicts to the extent possible. Another thing to remember-meditate. Brain takes up 20% of energy generated and 25% oxygen. Use it optimally
