How aware are you of your energy levels?
Do you keep going because you have to achieve certain tasks?
Are you always tired?
Maybe you are completely unaware of your exhaustion until you realise you have done too much?
For the next week, make some notes about your energy levels :
When you wake in the morning, how is your energy?
If you feel tired during the day, roughly when does it happen?
If you feel tired at different times, what have you been doing that could use extra energy to bring on the tiredness?
Does eating some foods make you tired? For instance, a chicken sandwich at lunch time may make you feel tired in the afternoon.
Having too much coffee may make it difficult to go to sleep and therefore difficult to get up in the morning.
An extra amount of mental or physical exercise can also drain your energy.
By making a note of your energy levels from when you wake up to when you go to bed, it will help you to see where the energy drains are happening and allow you to choose to do things differently so that you can regain your energy.
