I am tired.
This was a very common presentation in my 18 years working as a general practitioner.
From mothers to working individuals to adolescents. I am tired seems to be a prevalent symptom which presented itself to me.
Sometimes there was something medically obvious which accounted for the tiredness but more often than not, blood counts and other tests were normal. And then I have to have the conversation about our lifestyle.
The following is a gist of what I believe contributes to our feeling of tiredness or lack of energy.
- Our behaviour. This is the obvious reason why we could be tired all the time. Are we getting enough sleep? Are we eating foods which nourish our bodies? Are we exercising to improve our energy levels?
- Our thoughts.If we focus on the negative and the problems and what will go wrong all the time, we are bound to be tired. If we are blaming others or our situation all the time, we are bound to be tired.
- Our emotions. The anger which keeps surfacing is telling us something, the pain which we keep avoiding is controlling us and the fear which controls us is keeping us trapped. Many of us grew up without being emotionally healthy. The trapped emotions from events of the past remain in our bodies and keep triggering until you deal with them and transmute them.
- Our purpose or lack of. If we do not have a big picture vision for our life, a deeper reason for how we are contributing to the world, we are unable to tap into this passion which fuels us.
This is the reason I pursued energy medicine. Sometimes life is not linear. You don’t just set goals and achieve them. There is depth and inner exploration and healing, or the healthy behaviours will not be sustained. My vision is that every individual feels free to make empowering choices.
