Can you believe without even realizing it, you have been buying into the biggest fatigue myths. I know, you just wanted more energy, and you thought you were doing what was right. Don’t feel too bad. Many others out there right now continue to believe the same myths you do. The only difference is you found this article and after reading it, you will know they truth about these myths. More importantly, you will know how to overcome fatigue not for a day, but permanently.
Should you push through fatigue or sleep in? Chances are, you are making the wrong choice. Fatigue can feel overwhelming as is, so the last thing you want to do is make a choice that keeps you spiraling down the path of low energy. Too many times I have heard, just push through fatigue. But did pushing through fatigue ever actually help the fatigue? Let’s take a deeper look.
I do admire a “go-getter” attitude, but sometimes it can get us in trouble. We tend to throw caution to the wind for the purpose of achieving an end goal or being able to check off items on our “to-do” list. While this helps us feel better about what we accomplish, it does not do much for fatigue. In fact, over time, this approach is typically making fatigue worse.
Approach your want to get things done like a bank account. If you only take from the account and never replenish the funds in it, you end up with no monetary reserves, and likely in debt. If you only take from your body’s energy account and don’t give back to it, this is called energy debt. Energy debt is the result of not getting the right nutrients in to produce energy while also not allowing the body the opportunity to recover each day.
There has to be a better way.
