10 Ways to Combat Low Vitality
What is Low Vitality?
Occasionally, we can all feel like our natural energy levels are at a low and
life’s demands are increasingly more difficult to manage – this is low vitality.
Feeling overwhelmed by obligations is not uncommon and can range from a subtle
lethargy and feeling tired to a more chronic and debilitating state of fatigue or
exhaustion.
Either way, it can have a serious effect on work performance, put strain on
relationships and take away the excitement and joy from the things we love to do.
What Causes Low Vitality?
Feeling tired or overwhelmed by obligations has become such a common
feeling in modern society that it seems to go hand-in hand with the fast paced
life-style expected of us in today’s world.
Try asking yourself when you last woke up feeling refreshed and ready to
tackle the day!
Eating an unbalanced diet, not getting enough water, exercise or sleep, too much
mental activity and not enough rest time often leads to low vitality and
results in an imbalance of natural rhythms.
Ways to Combat Low Vitality:
1. Exercise regularly to restore natural vitality
2. Drink plenty of water and cut down on tea, coffee, soda and alcohol
3. Eat a balanced diet with the recommended daily dose of fruit and vegetables
4. Cut down on fast energy releasing foods such as sugar and wheat as they are
usually followed by energy lows soon after eating
5. Make sure your iron levels are correct (anemia can be a cause of low vitality)
6. Get enough sleep and rest-time
7. Address conflicts that cause negative emotions and learn to communicate
your concerns at home, at work and in relationships
8. Change your attitude and adopt an optimistic and proactive approach to
dealing with life’s demands
9. Do something interesting, as feeling bored, powerless and negative will only
sap your energy
10. Manage and reduce your stress levels
If after making these necessary changes you see no increase in your energy levels
or if you have other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to make an appointment
for a medical assessment. Sometimes fatigue is a symptom of a more serious
medical condition that needs to be addressed.
