Detox your diet

Fluctuating blood sugar, typically caused by caffeine and sugar, zaps energy. For a better, more long-lasting boost, eat a snack of protein and a complex carbohydrate, such as almond butter on whole-grain crackers.

Face your fears

Pursue your passions

Lack of direction or focus drains your energy, says Jon Gordon, author of The Energy Bus. Create a road map for reaching goals by writing down your starting point, possible roadblocks and your ideal destination.
