Here some ways to help be more energetic if you feel tired and not very energetic:

When you eat can actually really affect your energy levels. Try breaking your meals into several snack-sized portions and spread them throughout the day. It is better to eat 6 small meals, than 3 big meals. Protein rich foods such as nuts and eggs are great for increasing your energy. They're also excellent brain food.
Take a multi-vitamin. It can go a long way towards balancing your nutritional needs and they help your immune system.
Try to elminate or reduce sugar and caffeine. They actually set you back. Both help you feel better in the short term, but because the crash will inevitably come, your energy levels will most likely be even lower than before.
Sleep - make sure you get enough sleep.
Try to maintain your emotional stability and don't get stressed out.
Stretch - it releases toxins that build up when you're motionless and allow you to distress your body. Be sure to drink lots of water to help flush toxins out.
Eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
Avoid skipping meals.

These all sound so easy, and yet I still don't do all of them on a consistant basis. I am getting close though... very close. One of these days, I'm putting it all together and the Health hurricane is going to rumble!!!

I usually never skip meals, I take my multivitamin everyday, and always make sure I get at least 7 or 8 hours of sleep. I think my problem lies in the not eating enough fruits and vegetables and not eliminating enough sugar out of my diet categories!
