Shhh...</p> <p>Now I take a walk and/or pick up coffee. I'm drinking a Starbucks Flat White for the first time right now because I got a gift card when I started at the company... yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-wake-up#post-2032628 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 14:49:52 +0000 Mamaof2 2032628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: yes but I promise it will wake you up! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-wake-up#post-2032624 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 14:47:20 +0000 Espion 2032624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...with the intense urge to pee. Oh, wait, what?</p> <p>I definitely try to take a brisk walk. Even if you have to take a brief one every 20 minutes, you still get more work done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-wake-up#post-2032590 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 14:30:32 +0000 looch 2032590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aromatherapy...grapefruit and citrus are awakening and energizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-wake-up#post-2032587 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 14:29:10 +0000 mrsjyw 2032587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: The winter chill is discouraging me to venture outside! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-wake-up#post-2032586 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 14:28:47 +0000 mrsjyw 2032586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Just walked down to refill my ice water.

So I guess this is another vote for fresh air and some movement! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-wake-up#post-2032563 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 14:16:28 +0000 prettylizy 2032563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>same as @Mamaof2: fresh air. Otherwise I take a 15 minute power nap in my car! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-wake-up#post-2032553 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 14:11:39 +0000 blackbird 2032553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I walk down to the cafeteria (5 min there) and refill my ice water. Sometimes I take a friend! It does help a lot. Mostly, i find i avoid the afternoon crash if i don't eat a bunch of carbs at lunch. Chinese food? My nemesis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-wake-up#post-2032520 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 14:00:23 +0000 Mamaof2 2032520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you go outside and get some fresh air - even if its for 30 seconds? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-wake-up#post-2032518 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 13:58:43 +0000 mrsjyw 2032518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When the afternoon sleepies hit you at work?</p> <p>We had a potluck and I'm feeling the food coma.... can barely lift my eyelids!!! I drank a lil bit of coffee, but i don't want to overdo the caffeine. So I got up and walked around our floor a bit. Need a kick in the booty to wrap up a project! </p>
