pick me up
Quick energy infusion
Pick me up (often hyphenated as pick-me-up) is something that restores energy or lifts the spirits.
A cup of coffee is a pick-me-up, as is a compliment on a hard day.
The phrase captures anything that revives you when you're flagging: I needed a little pick-me-up after that meeting.
