We feel more tired when we
We feel more tired when we do these things consistently or over a long period of time. Some common energy drainers are:
* eating excess sugars and starchy carbohydrates (excess sugars and carbs put us on an energy rollercoaster)
* drinking excessive amounts of caffeinated or alcoholic beverages (these lead to de-hydration)
* smoking (reduces oxygen uptake, among other negative effects)
* insufficient sleep (our body needs sleep for physical, emotional, and mental recovery)
* being sedentary (the body is made to move and requires physical activity for oxygen and nutrient delivery, toxin removal, and to function properly)
* overworking (non-stop and excessive activity leads to stress and adrenal exhaustion)
* doing activities because we feel forced to, not because we enjoy them.
How boosters become drainers:
When we do anything in excess, it can become a drainer instead of a booster. If we overexercise, overeat, oversleep, or overdo activity without breaks or rest, these activities can exhaust us rather than energize us. The key then is to become a master of managing our energy.
Energy management
begins when we acknowledge that we are in charge of our lives.
