Most people have experienced that dreaded feeling of being drained and exhausted by the end of the day. Whether it's due to a demanding job, taking care of a family, or simply because you didn't get enough sleep the night before, fatigue can quickly sap your energy levels and leave you feeling lethargic. However, you can take simple steps to fight off tiredness and keep your energy levels up all day. 
 
Here are eight secrets to staying energetic. 
 
 
IDEAS FROM ME
 
 
Eat Breakfast

Breakfast is essential. Your first meal sets the tone for the rest of your day. It helps jump-start your metabolism and gives you energy for the day ahead. Some examples of healthy and energetic breakfast meals to eat include: 
  • Whole grain toast with sunflower butter and banana
  • Overnight oats with chia seeds, berries, and almond milk
  • Scrambled eggs
  • Green smoothie
 
Exercise Regularly

Exercise improves your physical health, but it can also give you more energy. You just need a moderate amount of exercise each day. There’s no need to overdo it – that’s a recipe for disaster. The main key to maintaining energy levels throughout the day is getting up and moving periodically.
 
Avoid Sugary Snacks 
Sugar provides a quick energy burst. However, for most people, a crash will quickly follow. So instead, try to eat healthy snacks that will provide sustained energy throughout the day.
 
Drink Plenty of Water

Staying hydrated also helps you maintain your energy levels. Be sure to drink eight glasses of water daily to stay hydrated. You can also enjoy raw fruit and high-water content veggies to help you stay hydrated. 
 
Limit Caffeine Intake
Caffeine does boost your feelings of energy, but it can also lead to jitters and an eventual crash. Limiting caffeine to two servings daily will help you avoid problems.
 
Get Some Fresh Air        
Most people will find that when they lack energy, they need a little fresh air to feel more energetic. So step outside every single day. Take some deep breaths of fresh air to invigorate yourself. You will feel better.
 
Take Breaks throughout the Day

Taking breaks throughout your day to avoid feeling overwhelmed or exhausted is 100 percent essential. Take a few minutes every couple of hours to relax and rejuvenate yourself. 
 
Get Enough Sleep
Getting enough sleep is vital for maintaining energy levels throughout the day. Most adults require seven to eight hours of sleep per night. If you're not getting enough rest, you'll quickly feel the effects. 
 
There are a few actions that, once taken, will help ensure that you get enough sleep each night: 
 
  • Establish a bedtime routine and stick to it 
  • Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool 
  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bedtime 
  • Move around during the day
 
There are many secrets to staying energetic all day long. By following the tips above, you can ensure you’ll have the energy you need to get through your day.
