If you suddenly felt that life does not seem nice to you, and the body stopped listening to you, do not blame the cold and rush to the pharmacy for antivirus drugs. You may be having chronic fatigue, the symptoms of which are very clearly reminiscent of a malaise during an illness. How to cope with this condition, return interest in life and motivate yourself to new achievements
Do not be afraid to reject someone’s request
In order not to feel like a “driven horse” and not to be disappointed that everything is not going according to the plan, just learn to set the priorities correctly. At the same time, refuse politely but firmly those who are trying to shift their responsibilities onto you. If you think you will offend a person by refusing, try to find a few words about why you will not be able to fulfill this request.
Turn to an active lifestyle
No matter how trite this advice may sound, start moving more actively: go in for sports, take up dances, or just leave your house (and office) more often, walk in the fresh air and visit your favorite places. Recent studies by the scientists have shown that walking helps to get rid of stress and anxiety. At the same time, you can cope with fatigue. Remember that movement is life and choose the option of activities that is ideal for you.
Change your diet
It has long been known that the wrong food (or the wrong diet) can harm the body and ruin the mood for a long time. For example, in order not to experience severe exhaustion and the feeling of hunger, experts recommend having breakfast with fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and foods rich in antioxidants and vitamins. In addition, think of healthy snacks not to “lose control” and empty the entire contents of your refrigerator in the evening. If you choose the best food option for yourself, you will feel much more cheerful and attractive.
Say goodbye to “the top student syndrome”
Even if you are used to doing everything perfectly and do not calm down until you achieve what you are striving for, try to at least occasionally let go of the situation, relax and remember that life is beautiful no matter if you have been perfect today. The sages had the reason to say that life is lived here and now, so we need to take advantage of the moment. But at the same time, do not forget that many unpleasant little things will lose their relevance tomorrow, so why spoil your mood and deprive yourself of pleasures? People are not perfect, and so are you, so be forgiving to mistakes and weaknesses.
Stop idealizing the world around you
This item follows from the previous one. Do not reproach yourself for the fact that others have time to do much more than you, that they have succeeded, and you are still in search and do not feel the strength to continue doing anything. Just stop idealizing the world around you and remind yourself that other people also have their own shortcomings, problems and unfulfilled ambitions. You’d better focus on your desires, goals and dreams in order to change your life for the better.
Change your attitude to loneliness
Loneliness frightens and depresses so many people. However, experts recommend looking at this situation from a different perspective. Change your attitude towards loneliness. Learn to spend this time with pleasure: do things that you have constantly put off because of your work, do something that you have been dreaming of for a long time, get enough sleep, and so on. Individuals, who are not bored when staying alone, are psychologically more stable, unlike those who need constant support from society for better inspiration and confidence.
Appreciate the time spent with friends and family
Instead of once again postponing the meeting because you are always busy or do not feel confident, think about the fact that people will cease feeling your interest in maintaining the relationships and will simply begin to move away from you. Of course, this does not mean that you should break down at the first call and change your plans, but try to find the time to chat with those who are truly dear to you.
Try meditation
Many experts are sure that fatigue can be related to the fact that your body simply cannot cope with that burden of problems (responsibility, etc.) that have piled upon you. If you regularly experience stress and feel that you are about to “burst”, start practicing meditation. Even if you are new to this business and worry that you cannot do everything right from the very first time, still try to start with the breathing technique and restore peace of mind. At the same time, promise yourself that you will worry less because of the situations that you cannot change and you will stay away from people who are poisoning your life.
