Being energetic at work is more than avoiding the sluggish feeling after lunch. When you're energetic, you possess and exhibit energy in abundance that's an obvious part of a vigorous work style and temperament. Employers value energetic employees for a key reason -- their energy is contagious as they engage, create, and participate effectively with teams. You don't have to undergo a personality transformation to be more energetic.

1) Start with regular exercise and stress management techniques. 2) Have a proper diet that maximizes your energy and that contains fewer food substances that weigh on metabolism. 3) Get enough sleep. 4) Practice positivity to help you feel energetic. Good physical health and nutrition influence a positive mood, but this works both ways. Combine this with reducing negative self-talk scrips that bring you down. 5) Practice work-life balance so you nurture yourself with activities you enjoy, and participate in social activities that renew your spirit.
