Don’t lay around waiting to feel better, just get into your day

………….. Exhausted by 11:00am

I spoke with Domino today.  The last few months she’s felt very low energy and on the verge of maybe catching a cold;  tired, sniffly.  She wants to go to bed after being up 2-3 hours, yet sleep does not refresh her.  She’s not overweight but eats a typical bread and meat diet and drinks sodas, coffee and tea.  She says feels better when she eats better, but her life is too busy to eat right all the time.  I suggested one remedy if you’re not going to change your action is to change your perception of it.  If you know eating bread and chips slow your body down, when you feel tired 2 hours into your day, remind yourself that this is how it feels on this type of fuel.  Remind yourself that sleeping doesn’t make it better, so you may as well keep on working even if you feel sluggish.  That way, at the end of the day you haven’t lain around all day waiting to feel better before you got anything done.
