Are you someone who often feels tired or can’t seem to concentrate during the day?
Trying to juggle work/school/kids etc. on top of other lifestyle factors can be very challenging. For that reason, we often feel like ongoing zombies trying to get through the day sometimes. That being said, it is important we are managing our most important priorities and being able to accomplish tasks without that constant feeling of tiredness. There can be many reasons for this.
Why are you so tired during the day?
In order for us humans to keep functioning efficiently, it is important we are prioritizing our health. I’m going to ask some questions. I want you to answer these for yourself in your head now.
Are you drinking enough water during the day? How many fruit and vegetables are you eating per day? What time are you going to sleep and waking up? Do you feel full after your meals? Are you getting at least 30 minutes of physical activity per day? Lastly, do you get cravings in the evening/night time?
Think about those questions and picture your day. What can you do or what can you add to your schedule to increase your energy levels?
Subconsciously, we are all out here trying to release those ”feel-good” chemicals in our brains which are called endorphins. They boost our happiness and they leave us feeling great. They are released when we are adhering to healthy behaviours particularly exercise. Wouldn’t it be amazing to feel great more often? Isn’t that what we all want?
The questions above may help you figure out what is causing your fatigue or causing a lack of concentration throughout the day. Increasing your awareness to this and implementing one of these healthy behaviours into your lifestyle can help the feelings of tiredness and improve your mentality overall. As humans, our happiness relies on us being able to achieve the small tasks we have set out to do during the day, right? Otherwise, the feelings of guilt can follow if we’re too tired to complete them. We need to be giving our bodies the fuel it needs to do this. Whether it means having a beaker of water beside you at all times, or choosing a greek yoghurt for your midday snack instead of a redbull. It may be the small adaptions that can help avoid the midday slump.
