What about caffeine?Caffeine at moderate levels can help you feel more alert and give you a boost of energy during the day. Caffeine is generally considered safe at moderate levels of 300-400 mg per day, or the amount of 3-4 cups of coffee. Be aware of other drinks you are consuming that may exceed this limit and lead to unpleasant side effects. Some energy drinks can contain anywhere from 80 to over 500 mg of caffeine.Instead of increasing your caffeine intake, use natural energizers- Have a good sleeping environment and develop a consistent sleep routine- Move your body and do something to manage stress every day- Eat snacks that have a healthy balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat to energize you during the dayCoverBuild Your Best YouGoal SettingSMART GoalsBuild a SMART GoalTime ManagementSuccessful DayBalanceWeekly To-DoWeekly To-DoCommunication and ConflictManaging Communication and ConflictUsing “I” StatementsRelationships and ConnectionSpectrum of RelationshipsCultivating Healthy RelationshipsStress ManagementStress and Emotional Well-BeingManaging StressWord SearchGrowth MindsetSleepSleep First, Hustle SecondMaximize Your Sleep SpaceMovementGet Moving, Sun DevilsFitness JournalNutritionWhat You Eat MattersMake the Most of Your Meal PlanHealthy RecipesHealthy RecipesHealthy RecipesLove Your BodyNutrition JournalBudgetingCutting ExpensesStudent's Guide to BudgetingSubstance of Use and MisuseDo You Know?MindfulnessCalm BreathingHow to Start a Breathing PracticePositive AffirmationsGratitudeMy Gratitude List10 Minutes of Good StuffHow Will You BYBY?DIY WellnessContact InformationArchives
