Fatigue

avoiding fatigue.
What is fatigue? Fatigue occurs when
we push ourselves beyond the natural state of "tiredness." By
refreshing ourselves in the following ways, we maintain vitality for
longer periods. And we recharge more quickly.
Techniques for
avoiding fatigue.
- Get more sleep. Most of us need more sleep than we get, and we
pay for that lapse with fatigue. We would also benefit from an
afternoon "siesta" whenever possible; a half-hour nap gives us
more vitality than the equivalent 30 minutes of nighttime sleep.
If we ignore the signals that we need sleep, we enter the state of
fatigue with its physical sluggishness, mental dullness, lack of
productivity, and longer recovery time.
- Get more exercise. Moderate exercise doesn't exhaust us; it
burns off tension and generates usable energy.
- Cultivate "positive emotions." While not denying and
repressing the so-called "negative emotions," we can cultivate
feelings of happiness, cheerfulness, and enthusiasm, which enliven
us and encourage us to reach out to savor more of life.
Contrarily, we lose vitality when we dwell on worrying,
resentment, and similar emotions which induce us to turn inward
with fruitless "wheel-spinning."
- Cultivate a constructive mental attitude. We charge ourselves
naturally when we are optimistic and confident. Since boredom
descends into sleepiness, we strive to create an interesting life,
letting our feelings and values guide us toward the activities
which fascinate us and thus keep us stimulated.
- Spend time with energetic people. Some people stimulate us
with their vivaciousness; and, conversely, we attract that type of
person by showing a zest of our own. We must beware of the other
category of people -- those who leave us feeling drained.
- Have a nutritional diet. A nutritional breakfast (with
protein-rich milk) makes us more alert and productive for the
entire morning. For lunch, we need light fare; a heavy meal would
make us drowsy. A moderate diet in general makes us livelier
because we are burning up less energy in the digestive process,
especially if we choose foods which are easier to digest (more
fruit and less meat). Sugar seems to give us energy, but there is
a backlash; the pancreas releases insulin to counteract the sugar,
so our blood sugar soon decreases to a level that was lower than
before, and we feel more tired. Fatigue might also be caused by
physiological condition such as diabetes, hypogycemia, or anemia
(a deficiency of iron).
- Have recreation. We feel invigorated when we laugh, pursue a
hobby, play sports, go out into nature, and indulge in creativity,
pleasure, and passion. Any activity which engages the right
hemisphere of the brain generates energy for us.

"Just a short note of thanks for the library. I've only had membership for several days now but I already feel this is perhaps the most interesting compilation I have yet seen. Worth far more than the price of admission. The browser linked structure works well and makes it easy to manage such a large storehouse of information. It is rarely that I find something I like as much as this or that I feel strongly enough to write a note like this." ~P.W. (Minnesota, USA)
