Boost your energy live 17% longer! Start here
You know the scenario: The office clock has just struck two and your energy levels have you stuck in neutral all of a sudden. The traffic accident that turned your usual commute into a 1 1/2hr ordeal didn't exactly get your morning off to a rousing start. Parking your keister in your standard-issue chair for several hours straight only made things worse--namely, a sore back, a nagging headache and a noticeable lack of concentration. Your starchy-cards lunch only left you feeling bloated and struggling to stay awake. The Snickers-and-Starbucks combo revived you briefly, but the buzz was short-lived and you now face the last few hours before quitting time with all the energy and enthusiasm of the 2010 English World Cup team.
Why should this concern you? After all, it's hard enough just coping with your workload, endless meetings and the boss' insanity from nine to five, right? Well, a growing number of researchers agree that the implications of sitting for hours on end go well beyond the fading out before the day is done; feeling habitually drained in the workplace may not only degrade your job performance but also have serious consequences for your health and fitness.
*Get an ergonomic chair
*Air out your lungs
*Take control, step outside several times a day
*Ease up on the wrists
*Reduce eye strain
*Feed your thirst
*Practise good desk hygiene
*Avoid mindless eating
*Train your brain
Reduce distractions at work. Unnecessary phone calls, emails and text messages can reduce your IQ by up to 10%, according conducted by a psychiatrist at King's College London University.
Perform some non-work-related mental exercise. At least once or twice a day, take a break from your usual work task and spend five minutes doing a crossword puzzle. This will strengthen neural pathways and neuronal synapses, increasing your problem-solving ability and intelligence.
Perform as many activities as possible with your non-dominant hand; this will make your brain work a little harder, keeping you sharp during those times when your energy and focus may flag.
Get at least eight hours of sleep each night to ensure peak brain performance throughout the following day. A National Sleep Foundation study found that half of U.S. workers say that lack of sleep affects their job performance.

Expertise : Life Lessons
5 ways to make a great first impression. Some people have you at "hello". These charmers exude a magnetic warmth that simply draws you in(and the firm handshake doesn't hurt, either) Want to learn their secrets? Five pros share their most effective moves.
1: Stop Talking - a lot of folks have a habit of imparting endless information during a first encounter. I call it male-pattern lecturing, though it's by no means exclusive to men. The listener smiles, nods politely, and asks questions, and so the male-pattern lecturer keeps...on...talking. The lecture comes away from the experience thinking that it went really well. He felt so confident and interesting! But for the listener, it was a bust. She didn't feel affirmed or appreciated. It's natural, especially when you're nervous, to focus on whether the conversation is going well for you. But make sure you're also thinking of ways to make the other person feel good. Honestly, that can be as simple as asking about her day.
Ann Demarais, PH.D executive coach, coauthor of 'First Impressions'
2: Show your Flaws - Not long ago, I had a business meeting scheduled with a woman whom I found intimidating. I expected to pull out all the stops to impress her. But as it happened, I was just not in the mood that day, so I found myself acting differently: I was raw vulnerable, and honest-and she responded in kind. Ultimately we had an amazing conversation, which came about because we had both let our our guard down. The fact is, we all are walking around trying not to be human. We want to be these perfect little machines with no faults. But if I'm putting up a front and you are as well, what kind of conversation are we really having?
Lucila McElroy, founder of WeAreMomentum.com
3: Use a person's name. Repeat - People love tohear their own names. It makes them feel special, like you're attuned to them. But don't stop there: Learn the names of other folks' spouses, children, and pets, too, then mention them in a follow-up e-mail or conversation. Asking, say, "Did Madison choose a college yet?" or "Is Hal's tennis elbow still acting up?" will go a long way toward solidifying an initial positive impression.
Julie Albright, sociologist at the University of Southern California
4: Don't take all the Credit - When I interview a job candidate, I look to see if she is too self-serving. Does she appear to exaggerate her own contributions? Blame colleagues for things that went wrong? When you ask her to share her weaknesses, does she merely dress up her strengths? "I care too much." "I work too hard." Just be humble, and let you hold yourself to the same standards to which you hold others.
Ben Dattner, Organizational Psychologist, author of The Blame Game
5: Look Interested - When your face is neutral, it indicates that you're not engaged. Just a slight head tilt powerfully conveys the message that you're listening. A quick eyebrow arch is another small but effective gesture that communicates curiosity. You often hear that you should mirror the body language of the other person you're talking to, and that's true, to a point. For example, if someone is talking quietly respond in a soft voice. But don't go overboard. You don't want to seem like you're mimicking the person to whom you're speaking.
