Give me ENERGY!

So from now on, every Thursday here is now called “Thinking Thursday“. It’s where I get to share all the complicated stuff I couldn’t any other day. For the next little while, we’re going to explore a few in-depth reasons why people get fatigued.

If you have anything that might be useful for Thinking Thursday, please feel free to forward it to me, or send me a link! It doesn’t have to be about the reasons people get fatigued. Just anything will do! I look forward to hearing from you all.

Hello again, world! So my last post was in June. I tried to give the blog away to a few people, but it was too technical to hand over. So I’m stuck with it! After giving it up for so long, I realised that I enjoy writing! So, here I am again just popping in to say hi!

I need you to help me though, if you come across this, or have this come up in your feed reader, just comment on this to say you are still out there and what blog you are from (if you are from one)! More to come…

It’s so easy to have a bad day physically. Many times we need help to fight the discouragement that comes with feeling extra tired. You can keep yourself motivated to exercise everyday if you record your activities.

Simply get a sheet of paper and divide it into seven sections for the week with a pen. Each day, just fill in the activities you did and how you felt after. Tell the truth, but always try to find a positive in every day’s exercises. Don’t worry about writing down repetitions, or drawing a big table with exercises and goals. Make your entry about two sentences long. You can even buy a tiny pocket diary, and write in each day.

When you have a “down” day, read over this instead of exercising. This can make a huge difference to your motivation, and it can also remind you to keep consistent, so your diary isn’t full of blank days!

Do you find that when you spend so much time at home, without as much social contact, your mood becomes very low. I find whenever I’m having an off day physically, I seem to want to complain about everything. So, when I do complain, I want to at least make it productive. I’ve found a few tips and wanted to share one:

Allow [complaining] for 1 minute. However, the catch is you can ONLY do so for an alloted time of a single minute. Let all your emotions out. Then we are going to close the [Complaining] Box and WILL NOT come back to it again. We will move on to the next box.

There are four others I found here if you are interested.
