What is your first thought after you wake up? Do you sigh, thinking about how long the day is going to be? Well, you are not alone! The stress and innumerable duties of our daily lives can really leave us exhausted and unenthusiastic. After all, we barely have time for any relaxing activities with so much on our plate.
And it’s not just the exhaustion that you have to deal with it. If this continues, you could give yourself a burnout. And that, in turn, would lead to other health issues like high blood pressure and cardiovascular problems.
* A relaxing warm bath
Why a warm bath? Because it relaxes your muscles immediately. Either you can stand under a shower that sprays warm water or you can soak yourself in a hot water tub. Sprinkle in Epsom salt into your bath because it contains a specific chemical that can detoxify you. Use aromatic soaps or body washes that contain essential oils. Essential oils instantly infuse you with energy and positivity.
A warm bath can also reduce inflammation. People with muscle ache and arthritis will really benefit from a soothing warm shower.
* Tweak your diet
Throughout the day, we munch on unhealthy foods (chips, cream biscuits & wafers) that drain us of energy. People who eat too many complex carbs (like whole grains), deep-fried foods, too much of glucose (sweets) and proteins find themselves feeling lethargic all day, especially after meals.
That is why dieticians recommend a healthy mix of all the right nutrients in the right quantities.
* Train everyday
Exercise to fight off weariness? Yes, you read that right! When you exercise, your heart pumps more blood and your circulation too improves. This means all your muscles, tissues and cells get plenty of fresh oxygen from the blood. This rejuvenates them.
There’s another plus side of exercise. It will make you feel happy! Exercise releases endorphins or happy hormones in the system.
* Stretch
Do you know what is one of the basic causes of exhaustion? Your muscles! They tense up and become stiff. When your muscles are tired, you are more likely to injure yourself. So to ward off exhaustion and minimise injury risk, you can stretch them. Stretches help your muscles relax and increase the mobility and range of motion of your body.
* Sleep for 7-8 hours daily
Are you sleeping for 7 hours every day? If not, then you are bound to feel tired. Why? Because when you sleep, your body repairs and rejuvenates itself. If you cut down on your sleep, naturally, your body will suffer. Read more about the side effects of sleep deprivation.
