Feeling
tiered and burned out can really slow down your productivity. Being over worked
and stressed can lead to lack of sleep, stress, and feeling sluggish. Take some time to focus on how you can get more energy, and feel much more energized and motivated.
Pace yourself
Do not over
exert yourself. Make lists and schedules to keep on task. Prioritize, and leave
room for the unexpected events of the day. Being well organized can help
minimize clutter and help get through your busy day.
Exercise
Move your
body. Even if just for 10 minutes. Exercise can get your blood flowing and give
you a natural boost of energy. Try walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, or
dancing. Exerting yourself during the day can help you fall asleep faster at bedtime.
Food is fuel
Do not skip
breakfast. Try complex carbs such as whole grains and starchy vegetables for
all day energy, and fruits for a quick burst of energy. 10-35% of calories should be protein. Opt for
lean meat, fish, poultry, eggs, beans, nuts, and low fat dairy.
Healthy fats
give you natural energy. Try polyunsaturated in Safflower and Sunflower oils, Monounsaturated
fats in olive oil, canola oil, and avocados, and Omega 3 fatty acids in
seafood. Also be sure to get fiber, a multivitamin, and plenty of water.
Caffeine may
seem like a quick fix, and although it may help for a little while, you will
inevitably crash. Coffee and soda are best limited to 1-2 servings a day, and
are best enjoyed before 3 PM; caffeine can interfere with your sleep.
Sleep
Getting adequate
sleep is essential to stay healthy and fight fatigue. Aim for 6-8 hours a
night. Here are some helpful sleep tips:
- Schedule; try to go to sleep at same time each night.
- Keep bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
- Turn off all devices, computers and phones at least 1 hour before bed.
- Avoid foods that cause you heartburn.
- Limit alcohol, while it may help you falls asleep it can cause restlessness.
- Exercise early- not too close to bedtime.
- Relax before bed. Read, or listen to calming music.
If you are chronically tiered, you
may be suffering from fatigue syndrome or another medical condition. See your doctor
if you are still concerned, even after trying some natural remedies.
