Why Am I Always So Tired?
No matter how much I sleep, how much I eat, or how much I “recover,” I have no energy. It feels like I can never perk up. I want to couch-rot, but I don’t, because it makes me feel worse. Everything I do now is begrudgingly; I never have the energy for anything.
I think part of it might be the lack of structure and routine I have had these past three months, but holy shit… I just wish someone could zap some energy into me that lasts longer than 30 minutes. I feel depleted all the time and I don’t even know why. The only thing I do know is that doing nothing only makes it worse.
With the end of the month approaching, I want to make it a habit to get back into some kind of routine. Small, manageable steps. Easier said than done for someone like me. Not only do I struggle with getting started, but I also struggle with being consistent. I have zero discipline to stick with things, and something has to give.
A few things I want to work on, and honestly some of these I have been struggling with longer than I would like to admit:
- Getting dressed in the morning. I was a work-from-home employee for five years and I was the girl who got shit done in a robe.
- Waking up at the same time every day. This was never an issue when I was employed, but now I cannot seem to wake up without snoozing every single morning, especially because I know I do not technically have anywhere to be.
- Fueling my body. I want to work on eating more consistently. I make a million excuses for why I do not eat throughout the day, even though I spend most of the day starving.
I will stick with these for now.
So tell me: what small routines or habits help you feel more energized? And if you have ever struggled with discipline and consistency, how did you push through?
