In past years, all I wanted for Mother s Day was breakfast in bed. Now, I just want to get out of the house. After more than a year at home with my kids, I m ready to be anywhere else - a restaurant, an inn, even on an endless amusement park line. I just need to get out already. Anyone else?

A year of living with the COVID-19 pandemic has left us all fatigued. Between the relentless news, having to be extra vigilant whenever we walk outside and the monotony with no end in sight, this past year has been a massive energy zapper. (And that s for those of us lucky enough to be able to work from the relative safety of home; the exhaustion of frontline workers and those navigating the healthcare system due to COVID illness is even greater.)
You don t have to drag through your day, hoping you can keep your eyes open for that 9:00 p.m. Netflix binge, though. There are things you can do that can help to give you a little extra charge when your energy is lacking. And these things are safe and natural, meaning you ll avoid the sleep deprivation that comes with afternoon caffeine or the sugar flooding your system from an energy drink.
