1. Eliminate health problems.
Rapid fatigue, a constant feeling of tiredness, decreased motivation and performance can be symptoms of endocrine diseases.
Hormonal levels play a big role in our emotional state.
An important step towards getting rid of chronic fatigue will be not only contacting a psychologist, but also consulting an endocrinologist and undergoing medical examinations, says psychologist Ekaterina Katalina .
2. Analyze the situation at work, relationships in the team. Perhaps you should take a vacation or even change jobs. Quitting will be the best solution if:
- You are not satisfied with the working conditions, they do not meet your expectations and principles;
- Your superiors do not respect you, relationships in the team are tense, and this happens not only during particularly active times, but always;
- You are constantly working overtime, running urgent errands at home on weekends;
- Job requirements are only increasing, but wages are not growing;
- You don’t love what you do, and the results of your work don’t make you happy;
- On weekends you can't relax, thinking only about the fact that you will soon have to return to work, and even these thoughts cause you anxiety and unpleasant emotions.
3. Think about how you spend your weekends. In order to work productively, you need to have quality rest.
If all you do is clean, cook, do laundry, and then spend time on social media, you might want to reconsider how you organize your free time.
It is important to remember that for some people the ideal vacation really is like this, but if you do not feel rested after such a weekend, perhaps this is a reason to reconsider your leisure organization: walk more often in the fresh air, visit interesting places, remember your hobbies.
4. Pay attention to your diet and physical activity. A passive lifestyle and unbalanced diet negatively affect the body as a whole and the emotional state.
5. Healthy sleep plays an important role in maintaining performance. Sleep disorders often cause a feeling of fatigue after waking up in the morning, constant drowsiness during the day, decreased concentration, anxiety.
To improve the quality of sleep, it is important not to spend a lot of time in bed after waking up, put away gadgets at least half an hour before bed, ensure complete darkness in the bedroom, and limit the consumption of coffee and energy drinks.
6. Don't blame yourself for being "lazier". It's important to remember that you are not to blame for your condition, and it can be dealt with.
Don't ignore how you feel and continue to try to maintain maximum productivity, which will only make your condition worse.
Show yourself care, tolerance and love, be attentive to your condition and contact specialists to find the best solution to your problem.
