a state where your body cashes the chemical check your brain just wrote.

means Filled with energy, enthusiasm, or readiness to act — feeling charged up and ready to go.

from From 'energy,' which travels back through Latin 'energia' to the Greek 'energeia,' meaning 'activity' or 'operation' — built from 'en-' (in) plus 'ergon' (work). So at its root, to be energized is to have the work put back into you. The verb 'energize' bloomed in English a few centuries ago, and '-ized' simply marks the state once that charging has happened.
