Feeling tired all the time can feel like going through life with a ball and chain weighing you down. You feel sluggish, and you find yourself almost dragging yourself from task to task.
So when you find ways to have more energy it can really feel like you’re being set free. You have the energy to get things done, your mood is better, and life just feels a little brighter.
I think my worse experience with fatigue was becoming a mom.
The lack of sleep, breastfeeding, and round-the-clock caring for a newborn took me out okay. In that extreme season of tiredness, I realized how much exhaustion can affect your life. It’s a lot. And the worse part is it makes you feel like you aren’t your complete self.
So for me, this is such an important topic because I know that having more energy is a powerful way to feel more alive and full of light.
It’s also important to mention that feeling tired all the time can be an indicator of a serious health problem.
A recent article on Oprah.com referenced 4 commonly overlooked reasons for fatigue for women that I think are important to consider before jumping into some of the more general information:
- Hypothyroidism
- Heart Problems
- Anemia (Iron deficiency)
- Liver Problems
So always consult with your doctor and make sure you are taking good care of yourself with medical care if you have access to healthcare. Especially, when it comes to feeling fatigued, start with a good check-up is definitely advised.
ONE: What to avoid
- Excess caffeine (with the exception of JV)
- Simple sugars - (So basic)
- Heavy meals - (Sorry Texans)
- Stress and mental health disorders (As a neuropsychologist, I see this first hand)
- Your personal exhaustion triggers (What’s draining you?) And you may be like, “It’s my kids, Tiffany. I can’t avoid my kids.” And you’re right. And let just say I am right there with you. But you can find ways to decrease the energetic load of parenting like getting help or support. Or you could increase the things that make you feel energized when you are not in parent mode.
TWO: What to get more of
- Complex Carbs - whole grains + starchy vegetables
- Healthy Fats and Proteins - avocados, nuts, olive oils
