solve problems,
It is natural to feel tired occasionally, especially after working through a long list of responsibilities or when you don’t get enough sleep. In our day-to-day lives, we will encounter copious problems that need to be resolved and sometimes, before you realise it, you can end up overworking yourself. However, when you start experiencing persistent feelings of exhaustion, it may be time to put your long to-do list aside and recharge your batteries.
Why do you feel so tired anyway? Maybe you’ve asked yourself this question and have never been able to get to the bottom of it. It could very well be that you are overloaded and not getting as many hours of sleep at night as you should.
However, studies have shown that feeling tired could also be your body’s natural coping mechanism against severe stress. This is because if you are feeling tired, you are more likely to avoid strenuous tasks or solve problems. That probably explains why you feel so tired the moment that you have a lot of work to get done, despite having gotten enough sleep.
Long-term fatigue not only affects your ability to carry out your daily tasks, but can even harm your quality of life. If this is your case, you would have noticed that your tiredness has significantly affected your mood and motivation. Could the solution that you need to get yourself back on the right track be simpler than you think?
Taking sufficient 15-minute breaks in your day to step away from your work and electronic devices has proven that it can make all the difference in your overall mood and productivity levels. This doesn’t have to disturb your daily activities and can be as simple as going for a walk, taking a short nap, or even reading a few pages of your favourite book. This is so easy to do that it can be implemented into your daily routine as soon as you like!

A simple phone call could be all it takes to offload your worries so that you can get yourself back on the right track.
