Life is so busy we all get stressed out everyday. We know it's tough to juggle so many responsibilities - such as family and work - without feeling a little worn out. Short of cloning yourself, though, you could probably use some real-life, practical ways to help you tackle your daily to-do list. We thought we'd save you some time thinking about it.
Here are some ways to make sure you bank enough energy for your busy day.

Formulas generally contain 100% of your daily requirements for essential nutrients, so even if your diet isn't perfect, you can give yourself a little nutrition insurance. Opting for a women's formula will give you extra iron and folic acid. Ask your family pharmacist about finding the right multivitamin for you.
2.Reduce Caffeine or tea intake.

Remember, what goes up must come down, so you want to avoid the post-caffeine or tea slump whether you're midway through your workday or heading home. Also, taper off your intake late in the day, since it might interfere with a good night's sleep
3.Have some Quiet time.
Studies show that unwanted noise - like a traffic noise or your neighbour's stereo - can raise blood pressure and stress hormones in your body. So try to find a quite spot for a few minutes a day. Or ask your kids to show you how you can download some relaxing tunes on an iPod, so you can tune out.
4.Use home spa
Maybe you don't have time to book a 3-hour spa appointment, or you've simply misplaced that still unused spa gift certificate from last birth Day. That's okay, we know relaxing can be a tough job. You can visit your nearby pharmacy to stock up on some self-indulgent spa products such as bath salts, aromatherapy massage oil, cooling gel eye pads, and facial beauty masks, so you're always ready to relax at a moment's notice.
5.Drink more Water
One of the first signs of even mild dehydration is fatigue. So make sure to drink enough water - it helps to keep a bottle in your car, desk drawer, and gym bag. If you don't enjoy plain H2O, try herbal tea or one of a growing number of "flavoured water" products that are calorie and caffeine-free.
6. Relax a day in bed
Spend your whole day in between the sheets, a day in which you read, maybe watch a movie, eat a number of snacks, crumbs on the duvet and all, and call your friends.
7.Yoga
Do some relaxing and breathing excercise to make you mind fresh of stress.
