Fatigues and causes

Adrenal Fatigue: Affects most of us at some point in our lives. If you are most tired between 3pm – 5pm, you could be suffering from Adrenal Fatigue. 
Recommendations: Get to sleep by 10:00 p.m. and sleep in whenever possible.



Anxiety: 
Physical symptoms:  Fatigue, sweating, headaches, irritability, need to frequently urinate, insomnia, feeling easily startled and overwhelmed, difficulty breathing and intensification of PMS and menopause symptoms.
Recommendations:  Learn how to interrupt your thinking; handle your fear in bite size pieces; talk it out with a friend who can listen without "fixing" you.  


Borderline Anemia: If you are most tired between 11 am – 2 pm, you could have borderline anemia.
Recommendations: Eat LOTS of dark green veggies – daily.  




Constipation: Constipation feeds fatigue, literally. Because toxins aren't being eliminated properly, they are in fact building up and demanding more of your body's energy to process and store. 




Dehydration: Our brain is 83% water. Dehydration causes emotional issues such as depression, dementia, anxiety, confusion, delirium and aggravation. Physical problems include fatigue, constipation and headaches. If your urine is dark yellow then drink up!!!
Recommendations
: Drink Up to 8 glasses of water a day unless you exercise or live in an unhealthy environment (smog, wildfires) - then drink more! Cut back on caffeine - not out - back. Excess caffeine is dehydrating.


Eye Strain: Spending all day staring at a monitor, watching the road while driving, needlepoint, T.V. ... Something so everyday can be so fatiguing.
Recommendations:  Click here for a simple exercise you can do anywhere, anytime to feel better.  Look Left * Look Right * Look Up * Look Down * Look Wide & Shut & SQUEEZE Tight! 


Nutritional DeficienciesUsually starts with skipping breakfast in lieu of something fast and sweet with something caffeinated. Then there is the gobbled down lunch, then carbo snacks and "something" for dinner. 

People Pleasing: A condition that affects a huge portion of the population. It causes severe anxiety and depression, cripples self-esteem, undermines and destroys relationships. Chronic niceness a.k.a.  "people pleasing" manifests as the inability to simply say NO.


Perfectionism: Did you know that perfectionism is a form of self-abuse? And, it is on this list because it is a major source of stress and fatigue.
Recommendations:  Accept yourself. You are a human being, not a human doing.
