I didn't even realize I was tired, but this warm, sunny weather has given me such a jolt of energy, I can see now that I was really dragging those last few weeks of winter. In our busy lives, energy can be a limited resource. Between jobs, families, obligations and stress, poor eating and exercise habits, and not enough sleep, it's easy to find yourself run down before your day has run out.

CNN has 10 fresh, new, and interesting ways to boost your energy. If you're finding yourself falling into that 3 P.M. slump or just wish that you had more get-up-and-go, these are some simple tips to try. They include:

  • Expose yourself to more natural light sources to reset your natural circadian rhythms.
  • Eat more protein.
  • Do a good deed.
  • Try white tea.
  • Try acupuncture or Reiki.
  • Turn off your technology.
  • Focus on cleaning up your sleep habits.
