Are you an active adult that suffers from fatigue and is fed up with not having the strength, stamina, or energy, necessary to fully enjoy your life?
Do you crave more energy to play with your children or grand children?
Are you tired of feeling like napping after meals?
How about your hobbies? Do you have the energy to do the things that you enjoy the most?
Believe it or not, there are some simple steps you can take, starting tonight to ensure you wake up tomorrow with more energy to fight fatigue and attack your day.
If you are fed up with not being able to do the things you want to do, or have to do, than let me share my secrets with you.
There are many techniques, that you have complete control over, that will allow your body to reward you with a healthier, more energetic life. If what you have been doing got you were you are, than you must be willing to make a few changes to get to where you want to be.
The most important tip I ever learned was:
"In order to change we must first change."
Most of us fight change. We get into habits or routines and that is where we are most comfortable and content.
It takes about 14 days to change a habit, but it only takes 1 day to start that change.
An energizing day does not start when we wake up, it starts the night before.
When we get 6 to 8 hours of quality sleep, we wake up feeling refreshed, re-energized and ready to attack the day.
"How do we get quality sleep?"
Excellent question, I am glad you asked...
I started by turning my bedroom into a sleep inducing environment. You will sleep best in a dark, quiet, cool and well-ventilated room. To get your room as dark as possible you can attach a black or dark blue backing to your drapes.
If noise is a problem you have two choices, ear plugs or soft relaxing music.
Keep your thermostat turned down. The ideal room temperature for sleeping is between 60-65 degrees. Breathing cooler air reduces congestion and increases oxygen intake. Regulate body comfort with more or less blankets.
It is a common misconception that we need less sleep as we get older. In fact, research demonstrates that our sleep needs remain constant throughout adulthood.
There are many conditions which can interfere with a quality night sleep. For example: hypertension, menopause, gastro esophageal reflux disease, respiratory diseases such as asthma and immune disorders, just to name a few.
Doctors might say, "I got just what you need and the side effects are blah blah blah".
Certain medications cause daytime drowsiness, robbing your body of the energy you are trying so hard to regain. In most cases it is a deficiency in our bodies that cause the illness for which we seek medication. With proper maintenance, there is no need for most expensive medications.
Wouldn't it make total sense to solve the deficiency, and allow our bodies to heal itself naturally?
