Those with high levels of zest are full of life and energy, whereas those on the other end of the spectrum are generally lethargic and resigned. People with zest approach setbacks and serendipitous moments with enthusiasm. This excitement can help energize people around them. For instance, when participating in a brainstorming exercise, someone with zest might talk about ideas excitedly, encourage participants to share their ideas, and then help to build on those ideas. 

Zest and vitality correlate with autonomy and relatedness. Vitality may also be both a cause and effect of health and well-being.

Become one with nature

Find time to engage with the natural environment, as contact with nature can influence vitality.

Gain autonomy

Play an active role in your decisions, because greater autonomy tends to lead to greater energy and engagement.

Do what you love

Dr. Jonathan Haidt suggests doing something because you want to do it, not because you have to do it. Find your passion. What do you love to do? If you already know what your passion is, then build time for it in your schedule. If you don’t, then try to discover it. What did you love to do when you were younger? Try it again now.
