Most often, that feeling of “having no energy” comes from having a pile of current and postponed tasks, and from the brain being overloaded with holding attention, scanning situations and the people around you, and constantly thinking. (Provided the cause isn’t an actual physical illness.)
And then, on top of everything else, your brain gets handed another project: “recovering properly” — which also requires control, decisions and constant attention. In other words, yet another job 🙈😅.
What matters is the state you are in when you do and think about things.
People push themselves, follow useful recommendations, organise the perfect routine — and end up reinforcing the very state they are trying to rest from and get out of.
Cross out the words “need to” and “must”. It is better to do less, so that it doesn’t feel like “I need to, I must”. Did you notice that last word? — “Must”… In Ukrainian, повинен (“must”) even contains винен — “guilty”. And the subconscious is already scanning it as guilt if you are not doing everything to the maximum.
Move your body, but don’t turn it into an obligation! Do 10 squats or bends while your coffee is brewing or when you put a video on. Walk only as much at a time as you can without your brain starting to count steps and register it as exertion. (It is even better to have somewhere you actually want to go — then you hardly notice the walking.)
It is also useful to push towards your limit for a few seconds — run or jump — but not all the time! Just a minute or two to raise your heart rate and produce some lactate 😉. The same principle applies to almost any activity.
Look inside yourself with the curiosity of a researcher, rather than searching for problems. An artist’s paints can mix into muddy patches, or they can create paintings. What colours do you have? What can you make from them?
Don’t use words such as “illness”, “treatment”, “recovery” or other therapeutic language. It pulls you towards exactly that framework and, for that reason, affects your health ⬇️.
Tell yourself what state you want to be in! ❤️🔥✨
Demanding results from yourself is another step towards weakening your inner resources. Wanting to create gives you energy and opens a clear path towards bringing your idea to life.
I adore you! ❤️ And sending you a wishspark 🪄 — catch that feeling of wanting! ✨🤗
