10 effective ways to regain lost energy

As Kozma Prutkov said: “If you have a fountain, turn it off. Let the fountain rest for a while.” When we experience happiness, it seems to us that our energy is enough to light up all the houses of more than a million cities. But then there comes a moment when you hold on with all your strength, trying to complete all the tasks, and you understand: this is it, stop. Tears appear from somewhere and every time things get out of control on purpose. People around you tell you with an expert air: “You are not in the source.” And they are right. We tell you how to bring back a good mood and attract good luck.

healthy sleep

It sounds simple, but in practice we often do not get enough sleep on weekdays, and on weekends we wear make-up for hours, which disrupts the body’s natural biorhythm. Not only do we wake up in the afternoon and lose precious time for ourselves, but we also feel exhausted as if we had never slept at all. By the way, we have previously written about why sleeping too much is harmful. The sleeping environment is no less important: The room should be dark so that the melanin hormone helps to stay slim. It is also important to sleep in a well-ventilated area. Preferably an open window to feel the coolness of the street. And of course, no gadgets or distractions.

To practice

Movement is life. There is no need to torture yourself with grueling workouts in the gym. All you have to do is choose something that suits you. The main thing is that you feel a surge of strength after exercise, and not vice versa! Sign up for dance, swimming, fencing, aerial gymnastics, yoga, tennis or horseback riding lessons. This will not only help you increase your endorphin levels and strengthen your muscles, but also help you find accomplices in a new hobby. After all, it is always easier to overcome difficulties in the company.

skin contact

Remember when Edward Norton’s character in Fight Club went to group therapy to cry and cuddle? Physical contact not only makes you feel protected and less lonely, but also triggers positive processes in the body associated with the production of endorphins (the hormone of joy).

Talk to those who inspire

Don’t waste your time with toxic people. Empathy is good, especially when the person really needs support, but avoid people who complain about literally everything: food, others, work, appearance, etc. Success leads to success. Low energy attracts bad luck; So, to get in the right mood and get inspired, go out for coffee with someone who is luckier in some way. Has your friend decided to become a writer? Great! Try writing a short story and reading it together. Is your friend planning to go abroad for permanent residence? Get the details, sign up for language courses and go traveling too. May the meetings be useful.

Find time for a hobby

Sometimes we make the mistake of judging ourselves by the work we do. But besides our profession there is also a life in which there are many interesting things. When we stay in the same environment for a long time, our focus becomes dull and our flow of ideas dries up. Hence overwork and professional burnout. That’s why finding a passion outside of work is so important. A hobby will be a source of joy and energy for you. After all, you don’t need to prove your superiority to anyone, you just do what you want, so your ability will gradually increase by itself.

Do breathing exercises

How often do you sit in front of a computer with your back not straight? However, incorrect body position disrupts the functioning of the diaphragm, causing the brain and other cells to receive less oxygen. Be sure to do breathing exercises. They will help you relax.

Take a walk somewhere new

It has been proven that walking in unfamiliar places activates neurons and strengthens the connections between them. Try to diversify your daily route from work to home and, for example, to the park. This will definitely give you new emotions and help you take your mind off difficult experiences.

Browse through the photo album

When we have no energy left and failures follow one another, it is time to remember the progress we have made. We often compare our successes to the successes of others, ignoring the fact that everyone has a different beginning. Some were born into privileged families, so they didn’t have to worry about going to college or moving to another city. It’s time to remind yourself how strong you are. You’ve had difficulties considering the opportunities you’ve had, so it’s too early to give up. It is very useful to look through a photo album to bring yourself back to important moments. How happy you were when you won a music competition as a child! Maybe it’s time to return to an old hobby just to relax.

Get your house in order

The clutter on your desk, wardrobe, and personal belongings distracts you and makes it difficult to focus on the main topic. So you take on a lot of work everywhere without completing it, which causes destruction and fatigue. To find harmony inside, create order outside.

Stop getting lost in yourself!

Really, how long can you continue to be self-critical? This is counterproductive! We all have bad days, but don’t get too depressed by dwelling on your past failures. Turn your gaze to today. What can you change here and now? Let failures be an incentive for improvement. And remember, life is not a blueprint or a diary with notes. In our pursuit of results, we sometimes forget to enjoy the process.
