Exercise—even a quick ten-minute walk will increase your energy and boost your mood. This really works! Try it!
- Listen to lively music.
- Get enough sleep. If the alarm blasts you out of a sound sleep every morning, you’re not getting enough—and it matters. (Here are some tips for getting good sleep.)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.

Spaghetti Story
This made me chuckle, I hope whoever reads this enjoys it too.
For several years, a married man was having an affair
with an Italian woman.
One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant.
Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large
sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child.
If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would
also provide child support until the child turned 18.
She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born.
To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and
write ‘Spaghetti’ on the back.He would then arrange
for the child support payments to begin.
One day, about 8 months later, he came home to his confused wife.
‘Honey,’ she said, ‘you received a very strange post card today .
‘Oh, just give it to me and I’ll explain it later,’ he said.
The wife watched as her husband read the card,
turned white and fainted.
On the card was written:
‘Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti,
One with meatballs, two without.
‘SEND EXTRA SAUCE.
