INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sometimes all you need is a little motivation to help you feel a little more energized. Put on some of your favorite upbeat music. A faster beat can help you feel a little more energetic. If you're able, listen to your music a little loudly. This can help jolt you out of your midday fog. If you're not able, try listening to the music throughout headphones so you don't bother your co-workers. Also try singing or humming along to the song. This can help force your brain to concentrate and focus instead of zoning out. A small afternoon snack can provide your body with a little boost of nutrition and energy. Just make sure you pick the right type of snack to keep your energy boosted the rest of the day. Choose protein and complex carbs for your snacks. Protein can help boost energy and keep you satisfied. Complex carbs are higher in fiber and help prevent a rapid spike in your blood sugar. Together they make the perfect afternoon snack combination. Try snacks like: carrots and hummus, a low-fat greek yogurt, a piece of fruit and a cheese stick or even a small bowl of oatmeal. Try a piece of dark chocolate, which contains caffeine and can improve focus. Look for chocolate that has at least 60% cacao. Avoid high-sugar snacks like candies, sweetened beverages or desserts. These cause your blood sugar to rise rapidly and then crash causing additional fatigue. Also skip foods that are higher in fat. Too much fat can cause you to feel sluggish and tired since it takes a long time to digest. Small amounts of caffeine can help you beat afternoon fatigue as well. Caffeine is a stimulant that can help you feel more awake and focused. Brew a cup of coffee or tea to help you wake up. Be mindful of the sweetener you use too much sugar can cause a crash later on. Use very minimal sugar, a natural calorie-free sugar or none at all. Keep caffeine intake moderate. Too much can be irritating long-term. However, most studies show that two to three cups of coffee throughout the day is safe for most healthy adults. Note that caffeine can also have the opposite effect - especially on those who already drink somewhat large quantities of it. If you're already a caffeine junky, lay off of it for a few weeks to see if it helps with your fatigue. Wash the day's stress from your mind by splashing cold water onto your face and neck. Some studies have shown that the cold water can help you wake up and feel more focused. When you're starting to feel a little sleepy, take a walk break to the bathroom and turn the faucet on cold. Splash yourself for a few minutes until you feel a little more alert. This same study also showed that a cold shower in the morning, although uncomfortable at first, can help you wake up and de-stress more than a typical warm shower. It only takes a few seconds, and the sensation of a stretch can be surprisingly revitalizing. Stretch a little to wake up, de-stress and relax. It's easy to get stiff at work especially if you're sitting at a desk all day. You might feel hunched over from staring at your screen, or your neck feels strained for leaning forward all day. Get up and stretch to help your body relax. Some stretches to try include: neck rolls, reaching up towards the sky and arching backwards, touching your toes, side stretches and seated twists. Break from work for a moment and spend it laughing with friends, going out to grab a coffee or talking about weekend plans. Socializing is a great way to feel refreshed, even for just a moment. It takes your mind off stress, and laughing picks up your mood. Ask your friends or co-workers if they'd be interested in taking a regular 3 or 4 pm coffee break. You can get up, move and socialize (all of which can help you feel a little more awake and refreshed). You can even ask your co-workers to join you on a daily 10 minute yoga break, stretch break or afternoon walk. You're probably not the only one feeling a little sleepy in the afternoons. If you have the opportunity to sneak away right after lunch for a little shut-eye (possibly finding a conference room that is not in use, going to your car, or closing your door if you're in an office), a 15 to 20 minute nap may be enough to re-energize you for the rest of the day, improving alertness and motor skills. Longer naps, between 30 and 60 minutes, can improve your decision-making skills and memory. To get the most benefit from a mid-day nap, try to be consistent about the timing. Aim for a nap between 1 and 3pm. Use a sleep mask to block out any light and, if possible, wrap yourself in a warm blanket or your jacket. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/dd\/Attend-Family-Gatherings-When-You-Are-Autistic-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Attend-Family-Gatherings-When-You-Are-Autistic-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/dd\/Attend-Family-Gatherings-When-You-Are-Autistic-Step-7.jpg\/aid1302939-v4-728px-Attend-Family-Gatherings-When-You-Are-Autistic-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Draw the circle - for best results, get something that's round on the bottom or top, for example, a cup. Find one that's your perfect size and draw around it.
