Simply being tired is different than being fatigued. Fatigue can be caused by a lot of different lifestyle factors that you may not even realize. So, let's take a deeper look into some of the underlying reasons that may cause you to feel fatigued, and what you can do to feel more energized and engaged in your daily life.
First of all, you need to realize that you are not feeling your best and decide to figure out what is going on and set a goal to make it better. Without sitting down and actually realizing that you are experiencing fatigue, you may never know what is going on and never start to feel better.
- Sleep
- While this might seem obvious, not getting enough sleep is one of the most common causes of fatigue. While it is recommended that we get 7-8 hours each night, if you are constantly fatigued, you may need more until your body is feeling back to normal.
- Address the Root Cause
- If you do not already have it narrowed down, take a look into your lifestyle and break down what is causing you to feel fatigued. Is it stress, lack of sleep, poor diet? Once you narrow it down, start working on one thing at a time.
- Eat and Drink Well
- If you are not eating and drinking well, your body is probably lacking in important vitamins and minerals that it needs to function properly. Take a look into your diet and be sure that you are incorporating clean, whole foods and plenty of fruits and vegetables.
- Do Less
- A lot of times, without even realizing it, our to-do lists become longer than we can handle, which causes us to be stressed and in turn, fatigued. Take a look at everything you have going on in your life and see what things you can push to the way side or get someone else to do it for you.
