Why there is no strength to live: 10 main reasons for fatigue

Fatigue after a busy week is a completely natural phenomenon, but if from the very morning there is absolutely no strength, and this is constantly observed, then you should be on your guard. What are the causes of chronic fatigue and how to deal with them?

It seems to many that such chronic fatigue is within the normal range. The lack of desire to move or perform the most common actions is attributed to meteosensitivity, the location of the stars, spring depression, etc. In fact, fatigue can be a symptom of a variety of diseases. Sometimes it is from her that diseases of the heart, brain, cancer pathologies begin to manifest, but no one takes it seriously. What are the causes of chronic fatigue and how to deal with them?

Top causes of fatigue
Tired state, unwillingness to do elementary things, apathy and sleepiness - all this develops for a variety of reasons. But the most common ones are as follows:
1. Depression. Against the background of a lack of serotonin in the cells of the brain or in violation of its perception by cells, the body as a whole suffers. Fatigue in this case is the result of a depressed state of the central nervous system, which sluggishly sends signals to all parts of the body. In this state, nothing brings joy, and every movement is perceived almost as a punishment. Depressed patients may not move for hours or leave their homes for days. When corrected with medication or psychotherapy, the feeling of constant fatigue disappears and the thirst for life returns;

2. Avitaminosis. Vitamins of group B vitamins cause fatigue especially. A deficiency of cyanocobalamin, for example, leads to a decrease in the full transport of oxygen to the cells. Chronic oxygen starvation of tissues is difficult to avoid. With a lack of folic acid, anemia develops, which also leads to a decrease in the supply of oxygen to tissues, vital elements. Without vitamins, the body begins to work half-heartedly. The metabolism slows down in it, the body goes into an economical mode of energy consumption. It is clear that if he does not have enough energy even for internal processes, then even more for external ones;

3. Metabolic syndrome. Impaired absorption of glucose by cells leads to constant weakness. There is a lot of insulin in the blood, but the cells do not feel it. Insulin by itself causes drowsiness, plus cells that do not receive a substrate for energy metabolism start to work worse;

4. Malnutrition. A fasting day can cause terrible weakness and the inability to even raise a hand. There is no need to talk about a long diet or fasting. The body in such a situation tries to survive and spends fat reserves exclusively on maintaining metabolism. In this situation, the body wants to lie down and not move, since nutrients are not provided for in the menu for its external motor and mental activity. Long-term unbalanced diets also lead to vitamin deficiency, which aggravates the condition;

5. Physical exhaustion. Constant hard work, the presence of great responsibility, exhausting household chores and even too frequent training - all this can take up energy, not allowing cells to recover in time. Without rest, the cells lose their ability to function normally, the reserves of vitamins are depleted, the nervous system cannot withstand the load. Fatigue in this case cannot be avoided;

6. Medicinal effects. Antihistamines, pressure medications, sedatives - all of these medications, to one degree or another, can cause feelings of fatigue, weakness, and dizziness. The annotations usually indicate similar effects. When they appear in a pronounced form, a specialist consultation is necessary to cancel the drug or control;

7. Infectious diseases. Acute and chronic pathologies exhaust the immune system and undermine the functioning of the nervous system. Proteins, vitamins, microelements are thrown into the fight against the source of infection, but they are not left for life. A person constantly feels weak and sluggish. After healing, the body restores its resources, and a surge of energy is provided.

8. Cardiovascular pathology. Weakness is sometimes the only symptom of heart disease, especially in children. It develops as a result of heart failure and the lack of a full supply of blood and oxygen to the tissues. Weakness also appears with hypertension, atherosclerotic changes in the vessels. Severe fatigue with a headache can be a harbinger of a stroke or heart attack, so you should not neglect it;

9. Hormonal disorders. Lethargy and apathy are often observed in hypothyroidism and diabetes. The metabolism in these pathologies is significantly slowed down, which affects the general condition;

10. Nervous disorders. Sleep disturbances, constant outbursts of emotions can lead to feelings of "exhaustion" and inability to take action. This is due to the exhaustion of the nervous system. Proper deep sleep is not just a pleasant pastime, but also a vital necessity. It has been proven that proper sleep can prolong youth.

How to restore cheerfulness
To regain strength for life, work, it is necessary, first of all, to determine the cause of fatigue. To do this, you should visit your doctor and be more careful about your health. In case of problems with the heart or hormonal background, after examination and treatment, it is possible to completely eliminate the syndrome of chronic fatigue. If the reason is significant, then it is necessary to learn not to take everything upon yourself, to delegate authority, to share responsibilities for household chores. With the wrong diet, you definitely need to consult a nutritionist. Sufficient calorie content of products is able to return a person to work and give him strength again for a full life. This is due to the fact that the reason will go away - insufficient nutrition of the cells, and the body will begin to work at full strength. With depression, sports and a change of environment, communication with friends are excellent. In case of sleep disorders - normalization of the daily routine and relaxation techniques.

II. LACK OF ENERGY - WHAT TO DO? - NEW LIFE

Alopuhin

Not enough energy - what to do?

"... the determination to change your life requires the availability of free energy"

Vadim Zeland "Maker of reality"

There is no doubt that a cheerful, positive-minded person who leads an active creative life is filled with significant free energy resources ...

The world is a wave. World unity provided by the corpuscular-wave pulsation of everything and everyone. World waves give rise to energy, energy fields and energy flows, or rather, energy-information packages that fill various levels of the frequency spectrum - low, medium, high.

Living systems they differ from non-living ones only in that they have a richer and more powerful set of different-level energy-information bodies, or rather, the maximum of all possible in the universe (although in this sense, the line between living and non-living is rather arbitrary).

Some people are passionate about the treatment of their ailments, while others are taking care of their health - and they cannot come together, because they go different, or rather, directly opposite paths: the first - to early degradation and premature death, and the second - to the maximum prolongation of youth and duration a full-fledged period of their life (although, of course, the end will overtake both those and others, but it will touch the first when they, in marasmus and stench, will provide additional work for their loved ones and medical staff, and the second, when they, being still little familiar with the concepts of old age and decrepitude, until the hour of their death, they will not become a burden to anyone and will accept the sentence of fate fully armed, with a smile on their lips, they will simply fall asleep in a sweet childhood dream and will not wake up).

Species energy, by which we are all connected in the universe, a great many, but the most relevant for us are at least two or three.

Initial, basic primordial energy we inherit from our ancestors; energy of a higher order, which we need for our daily physiological life, we get from food (and also, to some extent, from the external environment); third energy - energy of space, universe - permeates us with counter streams from all sides, but mainly from bottom to top and top to bottom.

Through these fields, we are all connected into one energy-information organism, but before they create around each of us a kind of personal cabinet, a biofield shelter, a kind of egg-shaped cocoon, which, like matryoshkapacked nested inside each other energy subtle bodies, each of which performs its own task (the biofield creates an aura that some people can see).

If in this biofield cocoon, due to impaired healthy circulation of energy, "plugs" ("seals") or "breakdowns" ("holes") are formed, aura changes a positive (blue, blue) color to a negative (brown, dark) color, and then a person has various disease. Conversely, a triggering mechanism for damage biofields purely physiological defects in the body can serve (if, for example, we poison ourselves with some product and damage ourselves in some other purely mechanical way).

Learn about your level energy potential very simple: if you want to move, learn something new, grow, develop physically and spiritually, if you have the determination to accomplish some daring grandiose project or radically change your life, then your biofield is in perfect order and there is more than enough energy - and physical and cosmic, which flows through you without hindrance, gracefully washing all organs and maintaining the entire spectrum of biophysical rhythms in the proper tone.

If you don't care about everything and are too lazy to change something, take something, strive somewhere all the time, achieve something, engage in incessant self-improvement, therefore you are sick and experiencing free energy deficit, since your energy channels are blocked by debris day after day, accumulating system errors ( terror‘Ohm error’S).

Light yourself up from both ends - start moving at the same time and awaken yourself with encouraging psychological statements-attitudes (by affirmations) like “I’m getting healthier every day, getting younger and more cheerful!”, “I am happy, elated and full of strength, I praise life, and life will glorify me!” (I once invented this for myself and put it even on a well-known melody for ease of memorization).

If there is no strength and the mood is not so hot, tell yourself something like that (affirmations should be positive, without any “no”, “no”, etc.): “I choose today happiness,i choose joy, success, love, good and shine for all people on earth. I accept this whole world ( God) that surrounds me, and I am filled with its light, its strength and power, its beauty. I am young again, strong and beautiful, I am healthy and full of desires, for peace (God) loves me, and I love him, and we are one with him in our common striving for happiness and good on our planet and in the entire universe! "

Saying this (of course, if we speak sincerely), we make a prayer, an energy-informational message, that real act of the highest, divine love, the answer to which, I assure you, will not hesitate to affect your health and, accordingly, general well-being ...

Everything is very simple in the world: what we give is what we receive in return. And this does not boil down to something purely physical, because think not only no less, but often more material than some clearly visible action.

As you inside yourself relate to the world, so it will react to you in response: what you sow, you reap, as it comes around, it will respond. Here all secret in innocence and sincerity - after all, a person has become so sophisticated in his hypocrisy, so he has learned to deceive himself and others! ..

And so it has to be all the time - all a life! - save vigilance, adjust yourself and your own reactions, continuously build up determination to transformation, ennobling your own life, donated for a reason ... And meditation, yoga, breathing practices, proper nutrition - the best help in this matter ...

People usually read all this, nod their heads, but in their hearts do not believe that everything is so simple and obvious. I didn't believe it either until I tried it ...

Once, when boring rains charged for several days and the sky was clouded with low gray clouds, I walked wet across the field until I decided - that's enough! And, raising his head to the sky, as he walked, he began simply by the power of thought to disperse the clouds above him (though I still repeated to myself mantra Gayatri and old mantra Padmasambhava): and after a minute or two the light opened up to me! - the clouds parted above me, and through the gap formed - wow! - the sun! I couldn’t believe my eyes, believing that it was an accident, but then, when I repeated the experiment more than once, I was convinced that it was not someone, but myself by the power of my own thought, which coincided with an external intention universe, managed to overclock clouds. But to whom I told about this, no one believed me (and even giggled strangely and twirled a finger at the temple): after all, everything is so simple, and such serious matters, they say, are not done so easily. But no, it turns out, they are. But people do not want to believe the obvious and continue to live in the old way, without even trying to try to change anything for the better in their lives. And this side consists in expanding consciousness, in mastering subtle energy control techniques (however, first you need to learn how to control your usual physical body) ...

Our health is 20% dependent on heredity, 20% - on the ecological situation, 10% - on medicine and 50% - on the way of life that we lead.

The longer and more intensely we in our lives violate the elementary healthy lifestyle norms (to which most of the inhabitants of our planet are inclined), struggling with the free flow of space through their body energies of lifethat includes us in harmonious unity of world rhythms, the stronger and more hopeless we turn off ourselves from its refreshingly revitalizing key streams and become a kind of lonely amoeba, dangling and rotting in our own swamp stagnation, becoming slagged with renegades and garbage, which world life (or, if you like, God) no longer takes into account, but then takes us into her turn and opens her hospitable arms to us our mother Death…

I felt all this on my own experience.

Now, at 53, I look younger than 15 years ago, and I feel better and healthier than I felt 20 years ago. But how did I come to this, you ask? Very simple.

In my youth, I led relatively healthy lifestyle - practiced (though not every day, as now) sports (cross-country skiing, running, cycling, swimming), ate, however, like everything else, wrong, but in his youth, with a relatively healthy heredity, this is usually not as critical as in a more mature age.

From a young age (or rather, since 1976, when he spent his first hunger strike) I was interested in various healing practices - yoga, Zen Buddhism, Taoism etc. (then in samizdat typewritten printouts of books went from hand to hand P. Bragg, G. Shelton and etc.).

But at the age of 27 (in 1985), finding myself at a riotous wedding of my best friend, where it was difficult to comply with healthy norms, I, for the company with a ringed friend, lit a cigarette (although from time to time I did before, but then I invariably quit) and smoked right up to 2003, when he was forced to give up this dark (and very smoky) case, so as not to just bend, since by that time he had earned bouquet of diseaseswhich I mentioned above.

True, since 1989 I have already been practicing vegetarianism, however, against the background of too intense smoking and excessive consumption of carbohydrate-starchy foods (bread, cereals), it probably harmed me more than helped: in particular, it accelerated the harmful effects of the progressive over the years osteoporosis, as a result of which in 2007 I underwent triple fracture ankle, stumbling literally out of the blue: and this turned out to be the last straw that overflowed the cup of my spiritual and physical vegetation.

I remembered youth, pulled out from under the rubble of books his old books and notes on physical education, yoga, autogenous training, meditation, healthy eating and others practices health improvement and spiritual growth and slowly began to translate his old, in many ways only theoretical, inclinations into a practical channel.

Why couldn't I take it seriously before health? And because it’s just that I didn’t have enough of this health! And I missed him because for the time being I blocked myself channels, through which I could raise my energy to the proper level, without which I simply did not have enough strength to decide on something serious. Fate had to deafen me a lot, shake me up in order to shake and stir my energy blocks, so that cosmic energy for a while broke through my stale firewall, thereby stimulating my determination to start really doing myself.

It took about three years (2007 - 2010) of regular classes for me to just rehabilitate after the fracture and prepare mentally and physically for even more decisive actions.

Then I began to train six times a week according to the following scheme: every two days - strength training, and between them - cardio-aerobic ( running, cycling, swimming, skiing).

However, I soon noticed that the level of my energy, having been roused in the first years of my post-breakdown memory, again somehow begins to fade away: having got used to regular loads, inert, by definition, organizationalism went into an economically semi-sleeping routine mode and even began to gain excessive weight. This was a signal that something had to be changed again.

And then I noticed food: if in youth, malnutrition is compensated by a significant supply of hereditary energy, then at an older age we must either strictly monitor it or be chronically disabled.

My mistake was that having started practicing back in 1989 vegetarianismI still consumed too little vegetables and fruits and too many almost refined carbohydrates in the form of boiled cereals and store bread (albeit gray-black), which leads to fermentation-rotting, and also seasoned all this with too much oil (albeit vegetable).

Having decided to fix this, at first I stopped cooking these cereals, but only soaked them. And now I completely refused them (and yeast bread), and my main food became vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and herbs, and I limited the oil (vegetable unrefined) to one tablespoon per day, which, against the background of even more intense physical training, only benefited me.

Three years ago, in less than 7-8 hours of sleep, I could not get enough sleep, but now four to five hours are enough for my eyes.

The conclusion can be drawn as follows. On the one hand, it is not at all difficult to change for the better. On the other hand, this is a whole science and considerable art, requiring many years of persistent theoretical and practical studies, which can only be prompted by a rather extraordinary combination of many circumstances and prerequisites, that is, not everyone is capable of turning their lives around on their own. on your feet. Those who would like to do this, but are not able to immediately decide on it, need teacher, guru, sensei, trainer, which can by his example and timely help give the ward the necessary and sufficient impetus for such a decisive life revolution.

There is an ancient expression: when apprentice ready, the necessary teacher appears in his life. I understand it this way: having sufficiently immersed ourselves in the general theoretical foundations of the issue of interest to us and being extremely interested in its solution, sooner or later we will find on our way that guiding star that will correct our azimuth and help get out of the previous darkness to light of god.

The details of liberation from the fetters of lack of spirituality and physical inertia are different for everyone, but general provisions and recommendations, like laws of nature, are suitable for everyone and everyone - we will talk about them in the future.

Any pathology is caused or, in any case, accompanied by a deficit of free (but not necessarily physiological, replenished through food) energy, which only then circulates freely through us when we live and act in harmony, in resonance with rhythms and laws of nature.

Practice shows that our immunity, if only it is supported by sufficient potential flowing through us world energyable to cope with any disease. We, in this sense, are not alone in the universe: with us is its multi-layered, multi-readable energy, its energy information fields, which together with the cosmo-planetary structures world system are for us truly that God's hand, without which a full-blooded existence on earth for us is at least very difficult, if not impossible.

In order for us, who fell away from her in our civilizational pride, to be able to reconnect to this source of absolute grace, we first need to come to an agreement of our own mind, soul and body.

We need a strong motivation, real target, the will to achieve it and self-discipline, so as not to run off half way ... This is the main difficulty of this path, everything else is a matter of technology. Many try to try, but few dare to go this road to light and happiness to the bitter end, or at least to the middle: in fact, the hardest thing to start and almost as difficult to continue, having received small first successes halfway through ...

Too playful start are fraught with a quick rollback to their starting positions ... Therefore, remarkable patience is needed here, and the main means of increasing the energy of the figurative-volitional attitude is meditation... In general, everything on this path of self-improvement, at all its stages, begins and ends with meditation (in other words, autogenous training). If you’re too lazy, you can’t go any further, but without daily meditation self-deepening, in this hunt for the energy that has left us, we can’t do without - in any case.

First of all, you need to learn to relax relax, instantly relieve muscle tension, significantly narrowing the main energy channels, one of which (for free energy flowing from bottom to top) is located an inch in front of spine for men and two inches for women, and the other (for the flow of energy from top to bottom) is located almost close to the spine.

The free circulation of energy through these channels can also be hampered by purely physiological reasons, for example, an ordinary slagging of the bodywhich can be eliminated diet, massage, sauna, exercise etc. However, this will only give a temporary effect. To achieve more stable results, you need to completely change your life and switch to a daily pumping of free energy from environment, which requires constant care not only for the physical, but also for the subtle body.

The average urban person is internally tense and stressed, and has gotten used to it so much that he does not even notice it. Therefore, during the day he gets tired quickly, does not get enough sleep at night and desperately needs external stimulants (tea, coffee, alcohol, smoking, etc.).

Physical relaxation is achieved by mental relaxation, and mental relaxation is achieved by an inner smile of healthy indifference, the achievement of indifference to what has brought us to anxiety, to stress. In order to get rid of the aura of stress, it is only necessary for a couple of seconds to remember about this Cheshire smile of the transpersonal angel, which removes from earthly problems, a transpersonal angel who is the highest part of our "I", one has only to realize from the point of view of eternity the insignificant significance of the event that brought us to stress, how we immediately relax and return to a state of harmonious balance between the inner and outer worlds, in which we do not judge anyone and understand that there are no bad or good forces in nature, that every bastard is for something yes it is necessary that Hitlerand Chikatiloand Stalinand Gagarinand Chekhovand Dracula - all of them will do something for her, and our value hierarchies for her, for nature, on the drum: we are all for her universal game only tokens-figurines, and either we participate in this game of hers, or, having been tired, we rest our horns on our own, developed through civilization and culture affection, than this immeasurable element we are trying to interfere, but this is impossible! Therefore, nature simply breaks those who do not trust, do not surrender to its majestic power.

If (for example, at the edge of an abyss or at gunpoint), turn on smile indifference (of course!) is in no way impossible, then you shouldn't try, otherwise you can waste the last energy reserves at the moment.

So, we found out that each person penetrates and fits tightly energy-information cocoon, woven from a variety of field structures of different nature. But it is necessary to understand that the non-uniform distribution of these energies - either their stagnant formations in the body, or even an obvious deficiency - are fraught with many diseases. To break down these energy seals and fill the breakdowns in biofield, among other things, in our age of chronic hypodynamia, we desperately need regular sharp vibrations and concussions: you can jump, run and practice other physical exercises - the main thing is that they must be extremely active.

Yoga here it can also help, although it does not contain clearly sharp shaking movements (however, Osho proposed a number of active complexes, which he called dynamic yoga). And if, for example, one stands in sirshasan (on the head) for half an hour, then the energy density from the lower extremities, willy-nilly shifting towards the head, will make the general field background more uniform and harmonious.

But if we have at least been taught muscle tensions, so to speak, it means (even while leading a sedentary lifestyle, we are not only tense, but also pathologically tense), then we need to learn relaxation, although, most importantly, first try, and then regularly practice as we practice, for example, night sleep.

This is not at all difficult - most of the muscles can be relaxed just by mentally drawing your attention to them. Having run mentally from head to toe, with just a wordless intention we remove tension and clamps from the muscles that prevent the circulation of free energy.

However, there are muscles, for example, the muscles of the back, which, as a result of our hypodynamic lifestyle, have almost atrophied, so they need to be pumped up regularly (due to the weakness of the muscle frame supporting the spine, most of the inhabitants of the Earth suffer from back pain).

Also medicine of the Ancient East certain points on the bodypreventing the free flow of energy. Mentally relaxing, softening these areas (as a rule, in shavasana, the pose of a corpse), we imagine that they literally dissolve, disappear into space.

In total, 17 such initial blocks of energy are released on the human body. (requiring more attention when relaxing):

1) toes; 2) ankles; 3) knees; 4) groin; 5) anus; 6) hands; 7) the navel; 8) elbows; 9) stomach; 10) heart; 11) shoulders; 12) throat, neck; 13) lips; 14) the tip of the nose; 15) the point between the eyebrows; 16) the crown; 17) crown.

Having learned to focus on all parts of your body, you will spend 10-15 seconds relaxing each of them.

Lying in savasane (corpse pose), you are now completely relaxed. Nothing now interferes with the free flow of energy through your energy channels. Your consciousness is active, but the body is as if it is not, it is asleep (this is meditation!). Inhaling, imagine how the energy flows into the body through the feet and hands and rushes to the head: from the feet it rises along the shins, through the knees, thighs and pours into the body; from the hands, energy rises along the wrists, elbows, shoulders and connects with the flow from the legs. This is on the inhale, and on the exhale, all this energy slowly expires from the point between the eyebrows.

And you can do any number of such breathing cycles - the main thing is to feel how the energy flow, like a spring stream, washes your whole body, and if at the same time you feel how muscles involuntarily twitch or "goosebumps" run through your body, or something like blissful -wave-like breath, then you have achieved that the free energy you have called washed out your entire body and harmonized its biofield. One should leave shavasana slowly and carefully, so as not to inadvertently destroy what has been achieved.

Healing pumping energy promote many types of physical activity (strength gymnastics, walking, running, cycling, skiing, yoga, kundalini yoga, the Tibetan complex " Five Tibetans " various breathing practices, swimming, bath and water procedures, etc.) - most importantly, they must be practiced daily! One day you will feel the strength and desire to create your life at your own discretion, which means that your energy is in perfect order, your chakras pulsate in the rome of the universe, and you, inspired by total unity (including soul and mind), know for sure that you now do and where to go.

It is worth learning instantly - with one click - to consciously join the world unity of everything and everyone, and the energy of the universe begins to more clearly participate in the rhythmic circulation of your energy, but in fact it is not yours at all, but universal! ..

If you do not forget about this connection, if you keep it within yourself, then over time your potential will only increase, and every year - with the strengthening of this divine connection - you will become younger and younger ... This is a true religion that is not needs words and boring sermons, robes, priests, churches and other material fetishes.

Movement and life - words-synonyms. To earn the right to full relaxation (and good nutrition), we must move more than actively during the day (we are conceived by nature as very athletic individuals), harmoniously loading all our organs and systems, because what does not work, then, as you know, it degrades and dies off.

After forty to fifty years, your body, by default, goes into decay mode - this is normal aging. However, it has been proven that it is possible to reverse this destructive process! And even more than that - turn decay into growth!

Of course, we cannot stop aging at all, but we can significantly slow it down and improve the natural balance between growth and decay towards growth, for which we only need to correct the signals that we send to our body. The keys to blocking the breakdown code in our body can be daily exercise, an emotionally charged life, healthy eating, and creative interests. But without physical activity, everything else will not work.

To be consciously joyful, you need to start smiling. To be consciously young - it is necessary to think and move in a young way, and taking into account the fact that with age, the processes of decay tend to dominate the processes of growth, it is necessary to think and move even more actively and vigorously than the average young man, and in other words, it is necessary to accelerate as much as possible metabolic processes in the body, so that the number of newborn cells in the body exceeds the number of those who die in the battle for the life and happiness of the individual who possesses them.

Currently, time and energy are of great value. If we somehow learned to manage time, then the situation with energy is more complicated. It seems that they got up in the morning full of strength, and by lunchtime the "batteries" are discharged. Coffee, sports, healthy eating, medications - all have only a short-term effect. Let's look at the reason a little deeper.

A person who has enough energy to carry out everything conceived is cheerful and charismatic. In addition to these values, he easily receives energy and shares it with others. Therefore, it is always easy to make friends with such representatives, to get in touch. A completely different picture is observed if a person experiences an acute deficit of strength.

Let's discuss this topic together. I will begin, and you will tell about your experience. So, what are the signs that you can understand that a person is energy deficient? We will look at the external signs, without the use of a pendulum, frames or other devices.

1. The main feature is chronic fatigue or fatigue.
2. Cold hands, feet... They can be cold even on warm summer days. Mittens and socks are usually of little help.
3. Begins to eat a lot and get better... We get only 20% of energy from food, but if the other sources are blocked, then the body begins to strenuously store up calories. Creates an "airbag".
4. An energy-deficient person begins to show signs of an energy vampire... He either challenges you to a conflict, or starts whining and complaining. Both, in the end, piss you off. Voila! You fed the vampire. Do not rush to calm down - he will come to you again as soon as he gets hungry.
5. Negative emotions.A minor mood accompanies such a person. It can be tears from the listened song, deep sadness after watching a movie. Resentments emerge, doubts appear in their professionalism, loneliness intensifies. Bad moods become the norm.
6. Deteriorating health... Since the body does not have enough energy, the organs that are naturally weakest are the first to suffer. Chronic illnesses may worsen or new symptoms develop.

If you find several signs in yourself, then it is worth making an energy diagnosis. This is done using modern devices or the most ancient and proven methods, such as a pendulum or a frame. Well, then the question of technology (I mean energy practices), which can be done independently, or by contacting a specialist.

Most importantly, if you feel the signs of energy deficiency, despite your efforts, they do not go away or get worse. If, in addition to a lack of strength, others begin to react negatively to you, for example, they seek to quarrel with you or express dissatisfaction. If you start to lose money in addition to all this - you have deprived of your bonus, did not pay you, lost your wallet, there are fewer clients, there are unplanned expenses (the apartment was flooded, the car was scratched or knocked, you urgently need to see a paid doctor, etc.), then this is a sign that energy is already leaving your money channel.

The longer you stay in negative energies, the longer the recovery will take. It is better to correct the condition in a timely manner (independently or with the help of a specialist). Therefore, love yourself. Pay attention to changes in physical / emotional / energetic state. Be happy!

Sometimes a person, waking up in the morning, feels a surge of strength and wants to quickly get down to daily activities. But sometimes people feel that everything is falling out of their hands and there is not enough strength even to just get out of bed. If you feel depressed and understand that there is no energy and strength, this article is for you.

What is life energy

Some people equate the replenishment of life energy with esoteric practices and do not believe that it is possible to maintain it at a high level. But in fact, energy is what is in every person, what all living things are woven from. The energy of life and fortitude are things that are not related to mysticism.

Lack of strength affects the physical health of a person, causes illness and significantly worsens the quality of life. Therefore, you need to ensure that you always have enough energy, learn to understand what led to its decrease.

How to understand that the level of vital energy has decreased

If you are a positive and cheerful person, then life seems easy and interesting. But at a certain moment, for no apparent reason, you suddenly feel bad, your mood deteriorates, and it takes more energy to complete elementary tasks than before. This suggests that your vitality and energy are decreasing.

Fatigue is another sign of deterioration. A person who does not have enough energy constantly feels that he does not have the strength for ordinary tasks that were previously easy.

Productivity at work and household chores declines. Responsibilities that seemed simple a couple of days ago suddenly start to take more time and effort. And the result of the work done leaves much to be desired. Reduced productivity indicates that you do not have energy and strength in the body. But this can manifest itself not only on the physical level, but also on the emotional one. Communication with loved ones ceases to bring joy. Friends who try to help and support only cause irritation and negativity. To keep yourself safe, prevent quarrels, decreased productivity and fatigue, you need to understand the reasons for the lack of vitality.

Why is there no strength and energy

A person's activity can be reduced through his own fault or because of the negative influence of the people around him, work, relationships. There are some of the most common causes of energy loss that anyone who wants to protect themselves from wasting this important resource should know.

Work that does not bring you pleasure slowly but surely makes you unhappy. Where to get strength and energy for life, if you spend most of it where you do not like? A person who does what is required of him every day, and not what he wants, will certainly be exhausted.

An unhealthy relationship in which one partner takes the strength and joy from the other through manipulation or aggression is another reason why a person's activity and strength is reduced. Losses become more noticeable when strength is stolen by the closest person to whom you have sincere feelings.

Negative emotions build up when they have no outlet. Resentment and anger, hidden somewhere in the depths of the soul, slowly eat up the energy of life and strength. If you constantly bypass conflicts rather than solve them, unsaid words become a huge problem for your peace of mind and strength.

When someone else's life interests a person more than his own, he is doomed to constantly lack energy. If you strive to improve other people's relationships, help a friend with work and make other people happy, you can be called a kind person, but this cannot make you more active and stronger, since energy is spent on outsiders. The same goes for taking care of your past, striving to fix what has already been done. There will be no energy when a person is wasting his energy on changing what is beyond his control.

How not to waste energy

To maintain your strength, you need to know what actions lead to their loss. Here are some tips to follow to prevent energy depletion:

• Don't lie yourself and don't let others drag you into conversations full of lies.
• Beware of unfinished business and promises that you cannot keep.
• Do not try to defend your case where it is not necessary.
• Don't cheat yourself by dwelling on the lack of confidence in your successes and achievements.
• Talk about what's important without wasting energy on idle talk and gossip about others.
• Do not hold a grudge, as it will only torment you, and not the culprit in what happened.
• Don't waste energy on having sex with people you don't have feelings for.
• Train yourself not to be afraid of the future. When it comes, then there will be a reason for joy or anxiety, otherwise the experiences will only waste energy and spoil the mood.
• Don't think too much about money, especially when your financial situation does not depend on your efforts.

Once you've become familiar with the most common causes of exhaustion, it's time to learn how to bring strength and energy back into your life.

Communication with others

It is very important to have only positive people in your environment who inspire you. Purposeful, sociable friends are able to share their energy with you, and you can respond to them in kind. Thus, your relationship will be harmonious and healthy. But people who constantly complain about life, try to draw you into their apathy and shift problems will have a negative impact on your own mood. If you don't know where to get your strength and energy, start by communicating with active and ambitious interlocutors. Learn new things from your friends, get inspired and just enjoy the company, in which there is no place for apathy and negativity.

Healthy lifestyle

The human body is a tool that he uses throughout his life. It is necessary to keep it in good condition in order to conserve strength and energy for all that is most important.

Proper nutrition is the key to health. It's no secret that a person needs food to sustain life. But you can't just consume everything indiscriminately, otherwise you will be full, but not happy. Make dietary adjustments. Eat only wholesome, healthy food, observe the daily routine. Learn to eat to live, not the other way around. Overeating will have a negative effect not only on your figure, but also on the internal energy, strength and health of the body as a whole.

To feel refreshed and energetic, a person needs to rest. Violation of the daily routine leads to poor health, nervousness and constant fatigue. The body does not have the energy to function normally, and the person feels unhappy due to decreased productivity and bad mood. No matter how busy your schedule is, take some time to relax. In order to watch TV at night, try to go to bed early, and soon you will notice how the energy returns to you, you will feel cheerful and energized.

Everyone knows that a healthy mind lives in a healthy human body. Don't neglect this golden rule if you want to be stronger both physically and mentally. Sports can help you relax and relieve stress. During exercise, you will feel how your body becomes healthier, and your head is freed from bad thoughts. Sport also helps to develop willpower, which is great for a person's character. It is not necessary to immediately start long training sessions and go to competitions. It is enough to find time to exercise or take a regular active walk.

Recreation

Everyone knows that if he is tired, he should rest. Then the person goes to sleep or relaxes on the couch. But when it comes to losing energy and feeling tired from emotions, rest should be appropriate. In such a situation, sleep or even a vacation in warm countries will not help. If you don't have energy, you need to take a break from the hustle and bustle and just stop. Do not run, trying to do everything, but just let go of the situation and enjoy the moments of peace.

You can sit by the sea or another body of water, watch the sunset, listen to the birdsong. If you feel that you do not have enough energy to work, but you need to be in time for everything, take a couple of minutes and remain in silence. This will not take much of your time, but it will help you quickly release the accumulated stress and prepare yourself for a good rest.

Enjoying life

Contrary to popular belief, you can enjoy life without having a huge income and not having a lot of free time. Enjoying life means taking from it what you already have and using it here and now. If your home has a new coffee shop, don't wait until your busy friends are free to go with you. Just go and enjoy your coffee whenever you feel like it. Visit exhibitions, go to the cinema, enjoy small pleasures.

Wear nice clothes, even if there is no reason for it. Put on your favorite outfit for a walk or meeting with friends, without waiting for the right moment, because it never comes. Get everything you can take right now and don't let others dictate what to do. There is no vitality and energy in those people who are not able to seek pleasure in everything and rejoice in little things, being in constant pursuit of something big, which will certainly elude them.

Completed cases and responsibilities

Sometimes a person makes big plans for life and for the sake of their implementation is ready to be active and energetic. But then the decline in motivation forces him to be distracted by other, more mundane things, and the tasks started in a burst of cheerfulness remain unfulfilled. Unfinished business is able to take away energy from a person, over and over again to return to him in the form of lack of confidence in his abilities and hold, preventing him from developing.

Make a list in which you list everything that you wanted to do, but never got it done. Highlight those tasks that you did not start and those that were not completed. Start with small unfinished business and gradually work your way up to bigger plans. This way you will remain motivated and not lose all your strength at once. Freed from unfinished business, a person will feel lighter and freer.

Love and family

Communication with loved ones can cheer you up, inspire and fill a person with vital energy. But love has an even greater impact by making you experience strong emotions. Feelings in relation to your significant other bring meaning and motivation to a person's life to work on oneself.

If you are building a relationship with someone who is constantly pulling you down, shifting their problems and trying to manipulate, you need to seriously consider whether to continue. A person in love becomes more vulnerable to the object of his sighing and absorbs all the negative. Only share your energy with those who give you it in return.

Communicate with your family, visit relatives on holidays. The time spent with your family will make you happier and remind you of the carefree days when you were an energetic, worry-free child.

New experience

Trying something new, a person not only gains invaluable experience, but also feels a rise in vital energy. Go where you have not been before, explore this place in order to take all possible positive emotions from the trip. It is not necessary to spend a lot of money on a trip or buy new, expensive things. You can try an interesting recipe or change your image. This will not require you to spend a lot, but fresh emotions will fill you and give you energy, strength for new achievements.

Creativity and art

Think back to your childhood when you were doing what you liked and did not think about the result. Try to remember a long-neglected hobby and do it again. If you've written a book in the past, return to this activity and finish your work. If you had an interesting idea for a painting that you hesitated to bring to life due to lack of skill, you can try to draw it. The end result may not be what you expected to see, but it is not that important compared to the process itself. Creativity can help you replenish energy and relax by doing what is interesting.

If you are feeling unhappy or having negative emotions, give them an outlet. Express your feelings on canvas, describe in poetry or song. Creativity can help tell your story and gain peace of mind.

Visit exhibitions more often, watch theatrical performances. Art inspires and helps to learn something new. If you are not a creative person, just reach for beauty, look for beauty around you.

Take a walk through the forest, gazing at the bizarre outlines of the trees, watch the snow fall, or enjoy the sunrise. Nature is fraught with a lot of beauty and helps a person to be alone with himself, to escape from problems and city bustle.

You probably know this feeling: 10 in the morning, you are already on edge from the third cup of coffee, and instead of any sensible thoughts in your head, there is a complete mess. You are exhausted - physically, mentally and emotionally - and completely indifferent to what used to be pleasing. Motivation? Forget it. Irritability? Oh yeah. Caring for health and wellness? Into the furnace.

For some reason, it is generally accepted that the conquest of new heights and complete exhaustion do not go without each other. Nothing like this. Burnout is not at all a sign of success; it is the way our bodies tell us unambiguously that it's time to slow down.

If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always received.

Henry Ford

The famous quote from Henry Ford comes in handy here.

The usual ways to bring yourself back to life, be it a double shot of espresso or another layer of concealer under the eyes, takes literally a few minutes, but are there many real benefits from them? Yes, it takes much more time to fundamentally change your life, but in the end all efforts are justified. This is an investment in your health and wellness and should be taken with the utmost seriousness.

1. Get plenty of sleep

Our body is a mechanism. A wonderful and incredibly complex system that needs care and relaxation. When you leave work, you turn off your computer every day, which is about the same as your body and mind. Research says good sleep helps the brain flush out toxins that build up throughout the day, which is why seven to eight hours of proper rest is incredibly important for mental and physical health. Your task is to gradually bring your daily sleep time to this level. 30 minutes more rest every day is easy, right?

2. Think what and how to eat

It takes practice to make your meals meaningful. This is especially true for those who are used to having a snack on the run, while typing a response to the next letter and being distracted by phone calls every minute. Mindful eating practice helps you understand what what you eat and how it benefits your body. Merely satisfying hunger is being replaced by a healthy relationship with food. Research results Pilot study: Mindful Eating and Living (MEAL): weight, eating behavior, and psychological outcomes associated with a mindfulness-based intervention for people with obesity show that this approach to nutrition can significantly improve mood, reduce stress levels, help develop healthy eating habits and even lose weight.

3. Stop with caffeine

Caffeine is a stimulant that irritates your already twitching nervous system. When you are anxious, tense, or even on the verge of hysterics, another cup of coffee will cheer you up, then it will not last long. Instead, try other, gentler ways to invigorate and energize: exercise or. If the morning without coffee is not a joy for you, transfer your relationship with this drink to a slightly different plane and make them as conscious as possible. Sip the aroma and enjoy the taste of the drink as you sip it from your favorite mug. After a while, it may turn out that this ritual is much more important than the coffee itself.

4. Start moving and don't stop

Movement is not only a powerful tool for improving mood and reducing stress, but also a proven effective way to maintain excellent memory and mental skills in general.

You can resist growing stress through physical activity: every minute spent on yoga, jogging or cycling becomes a contribution to the fight against stress.

A simple morning exercise sets the pace you need throughout the day and helps you focus on important tasks. Needless to say, successful people prefer to train in the morning. Start with at least 10 minutes of moderate physical activity per day and gradually increase the duration to the recommended half hour.

5. Remember: the best rest is silence.

Yes, yes, yes, no article on changing life is complete without mentioning meditation. Well, what to do if it really works. About 80% of visits to doctors are somehow connected with the consequences of stress, can you imagine what a monstrous waste of time and money? Even more amazing is that we can reduce all these costs through ... that's right, meditation. These practices can help you cope with stress, strengthen your immune system, improve sleep and feel truly happy. Just five minutes of this relaxation will make your day much more enjoyable. Another bonus: people who meditate on a regular basis are rational and less anxious when life throws up next surprises.

6. Take care of your skin

It's simple: happy skin - happy you. Of course, fixing this habit is no different from others, it also takes time. Here, the well-known rule of three weeks is not even so important - constancy, regularity and understanding of why you are doing this are much more useful than crossing out the days on the calendar. The notorious concealer will hide traces of fatigue in no time, but real changes in the condition of the skin always come from within, slowly but surely. Choose something that will not only improve your complexion, but will also bring real benefits to the body, be it cosmetics or food. Just repeat all the necessary procedures in the morning and in the evening - after a while you will notice that your skin and mood are no longer so gloomy. It is trite, but humanity has not yet come up with anything better.

7. Feed the soul, not the ego

Everything is simple here: do what pleases you. Not all of our accomplishments fill our souls with joy. Regular processing can be beneficial, but ultimately it leads to the depletion of far from endless body reserves. The benefits of this behavior are less than regular rest and relaxation. Finally, buy the shoes you want for a long time, indulge yourself with ice cream at lunchtime and watch old films all weekend. Everyone - okay, most - of your actions should have one and only reason: it brings joy. You're not doing this because it's just another to-do list. Joy. You. Dot.

8. Trust your intuition

The dubiously beautiful expression "I feel in my gut" is not a metaphor at all. Before making important decisions, listen to your feelings: the body often tells us what we need, even before we even realize it. Take a break if tired. Go somewhere if the soul asks for a change. In short, when something goes wrong, the first thing to ask about the reasons for yourself. If you are not a human intuition, it will take some time to learn to listen to your inner voice. Just take a break from all your worries, take a break and honestly answer how you feel right now. Chances are good that you know perfectly well what you really want. You just need to stop for a while and listen to yourself.

9. Break the usual order of things

Challenge yourself to try something completely new at least once a week. Well, or, if there is an abundance of enthusiasm, once a day. You don't have to start something big right away - just take a different route to work. Even such a seemingly trifle is an unusual experience. It helps open your mind to new ways of thinking and perceiving, which in turn will make you a little bit happier.

10. Create yourself a comfortable environment

The first stage in creating healthy relationships in every sense is a responsible approach to what and with whom you fill your life. Yes, the prospect of turning a life-toxic relationship into an enjoyable and comfortable one can be daunting at first, especially when it comes to friendship, family, food, work, or yourself. However, this is important.

Analyze all your connections and notice how they contribute to your life and well-being.

Those who are responsible for their environment choices are often more confident in their decisions.

11. Learn new things

The process of acquiring new knowledge makes us happy, this is a fact. It also helps to prolong our life and make it more interesting and fulfilling, as well as eliminates unnecessary prejudices. Want to start small - learn to knit, for example. The web is full of training videos, so you can master this simple thing without even getting out of bed. If you are attracted to big goals, take a three-month web design course. Whatever you decide to do, your brain will be deeply grateful to you anyway.

12. Start keeping a journal

Relieving stress, developing creativity, boosting self-confidence, and boosting inspiration to achieve goals is a simple exercise, but so much. If it’s difficult, don’t immediately commit to writing something every day. The process of creating the text itself is important, and not how many times you do it, so for a start you can limit yourself to a couple of lessons a week. Set a timer, give yourself a simple subject like “What do I expect from this day,” and write whatever you think. Trust me, you'll end up looking forward to these sessions.
