Handling Exhaustion

Written By Colēgia

Exhaustion can be challenging to manage since it can often occur unexpectedly. Rather than letting it get to us, we can opt to find ways to manage it. Today we want to talk about some helpful ways to help handle this and why it's crucial to do so.

Prioritize Relaxation

Stress can be a big cause of exhaustion which is why we need to prioritize relaxation. Hobbies are a great way to do this since they are there to help you decompress. Having a good creative outlet for example can give you the means to express yourself in a quiet manner. Photography for example can let you experience many different aspects of life in a manner that can get you outside of your thoughts. Writing can also function as a reprieve and help you focus on things such as world-building and creating compelling characters. Each of these things are just a few examples of how our hobbies can help us but we can also opt to spend time with our friends as well. Spending time with people we care about can make our exhaustion fade away and make it that much easier to get through the day.

Get Quality Rest

Rest is another big thing that can help us with exhaustion. Oftentimes the root cause of us feeling tired is not getting enough sleep. This can be caused by many things such as evening anxiety or eating sugary foods before bed. We can use meditation to help calm our thoughts since it can give us the means to quietly address how we feel. It can also put us in a calm state of mind which can make it that much easier to fall asleep to. We can choose to eat earlier so we don't have a form of sugar crash for example. Some other good things that can help us out are not looking at screens late at night since they can distract us from winding down. Reading a book before bed is good since it can help us take our minds off the situation and let us slowly relax. Getting a good night’s sleep is essential when it comes to recovery.

Implement Exercise

Once we have a good balance of rest and relaxation in our lives, the last thing we need to do is to implement exercise. Exercise is one of the most sustainable ways of being able to work on exhaustion since it can provide us with energy to take on our tasks. Small activities such as going for a walk can be incredibly relaxing while not requiring much energy to do. We can also do other more involved activities such as swimming or even team sports. Each of these give us different ways to engage ourselves while also being able to spend time with others. While exhaustion can be overwhelming, there are ways to address it and by using a combination of rest, relaxation, and exercise we can take care of ourselves more efficiently.
