Be energetic

How are you today? Wednesday is here. Last weekend I had fun and the last two days of the week have been a busy day too. Now I feel a little bit exhausted. Feels like I left some of my energy somewhere. How do you feel when you have lots of things to do but somehow you feel a bit tired? I think everyone wants to feel energetic.

I found this tips from Gretchen Rubin's Happiness Project. It says that energetic is a key to feeling happy. I do believe it. I believe that when you feel energetic, you always have the cheerful feeling and I do believe that when you do things cheerfully, you will get the best result. That's because you have to pressure doing the things. Remember that energy is like happiness, it is contagious. So you might as well be energetic so people can feel the energy when they are a round you=)

Eight Tips for Feeling More Energetic.

1. Exercise—even a quick ten-minute walk will increase your energy and boost your mood. This really works! Try it!

2. Listen to lively music.

3. Get enough sleep. If the alarm blasts you out of a sound sleep every morning, you’re not getting enough—and it matters.

4. For some people, taking a 10-30 minute nap is a big help. I can’t nap, myself, but my father has been known to take three naps in one day.

5. Act energetic. Research shows that when people move faster, their metabolism speeds up. Also, because the way we act influences the way we feel (to an almost uncanny degree), by acting energetic you'll make you feel more energetic.

6. Talk to friends. I’ve noticed that if I’m feeling low, and then run into a friend on the street, I walk away feeling much more energetic. Reach out if you need a boost. This is true for introverts and extroverts alike.

7. Get something done. Crossing a nagging chore off your to-do list provides a big rush of energy. For a huge surge, clean out a closet. You’ll be amazed at how great you feel afterward.

8. Do NOT use food. It’s tempting to reach for a carton of ice cream when you’re feeling listless, but in the end, all those extra calories will just drag you down. In general, be wary of the urge to treat yourself when you're feeling low.
