It happens to all of us occasionally. Your children wake up WAY earlier than you want them to. They don't care that it's the weekend! I have found some all natural products to help you get going and stay going through the day even though you didn't get the sleep you desired.
1.
NingXia Red - I like taking a shot (1-2 oz) of NingXia Red when I get up in the morning (or as soon as I remember and have a chance!). Young Living states that, "NingXia Red is a whole-body nutrient infusion featuring wolfberry puree, superfruit extracts and citrus essential oils. Its balanced ingredients will energize, fortify and revitalize the body from head to toe!" When taken regularly, NingXia Red may help prevent against oxidative stress and it may support normal cellular function and eye health. It's great for all ages! My kids love it! I even made ice pops out of NingXia Red! I'll have to post about that soon. Talk about a healthy summer treat!
2. Essential Oils - Once I have a chance to change out of my pajamas, I roll on my Get Up & Go combo of Young Living Essential Oils. My customized blend is quite invigorating and uses,
Orange Essential Oil,
Wintergreen Essential Oil and YL's trademarked blend
En-R-Gee Essential Oil topped with a carrier oil (I have been using Castor Oil a lot lately). I apply this combo along the Triple Warmer Meridian, on the Chakras and Organ Reflex and on the Neurovascular and Vitaflex Points for the Thyroid, Pituitary and Adrenal Glands. Supporting the Thyroid, Pituitary and Adrenal Glands may help to give you the energy you need too! Depending on the type of day it is, I may apply more than once. Sometimes I use my Get Up & Go roller 2-3 times throughout the day!
3.
NingXia Nitro - When I'm starting to feel that afternoon slump, or shortly before, I'll have a tube of NingXia Nitro. Its convenient size makes it great for on the go! YL states, "Formulated with an exclusive blend of pure essential oils, botanical extracts, and Bioenergy D-Ribose, NingXia Nitro is a great support for body and mind. Naturally occurring caffeine helps increase athletic performance and endurance, boosts energy and provides a daily pick-me up." This is such a better alternative to chemical & sugar laden energy drinks. And this works too! If drinking it straight from the tube is a bit awkward, it can be added to orange juice, or just squeezed into a small glass.
So give these a try the next time your kids force you out of bed before you're ready! Let me know what you think!
