Hello dear blog readers! With a constant feeling of lack of strength, a person may lose the meaning of life, as he will not have time to cope with the tasks and various stressful situations. Gradually, chores will accumulate, causing tension and anxiety. Which, subsequently, can lead to insomnia, which will only aggravate the situation.
That is why today we will talk about how to always be in good shape so that you have enough strength to realize not only your basic needs, but also related goals and desires. So that life brings joy and pleasure, and every day is rich and bright.
Methods
Pace
To stay afloat, modern man has to keep a fast pace. Especially if you also want to achieve success in your career, personal life, and so on. But it is very exhausting, even for those who love speed. Since the waste of energy is colossal, and there is little time for recovery.
Try to pause at least occasionally, slow down in order to notice the life around you and yourself in it. Otherwise, one day you can understand that a lot of time has passed, but where it has gone is not clear. Because in a hurry, we see only one thing — the goal, the final destination. When is it time to rejoice and relax?
Activity
To be in good shape, it is important to be in motion. Therefore, do not neglect sports, outdoor activities. The load should be daily, not necessarily exhausting and debilitating, sometimes it’s enough just to pay attention to stretching, meditation, walks in the park.
Choose a few days a week for more intense workouts if your health allows, and the rest of the time to do more relaxation.
Gradually, you will feel that instead of getting tired, on the contrary, you will have more vital resources and energy. The body will get used to it and you will only have to keep yourself in shape.
And regardless of whether you have workouts in your daily routine, be sure to do exercises in the morning. At least do simple gymnastic exercises, help your body wake up without a cup of coffee or strong tea. It will be difficult for the first days, maybe weeks. But then a habit will develop, which is usually formed in about 21 days, and you yourself will not be able to do without sports.
Interest
Energy appears when a desire is born, an interest in something appears. Young children are able to be active for a long time because they are driven by curiosity, they learn about the world and realize certain needs, thanks to which they develop. Now remember how they fade away when you have to do something that seems boring to them.
Unfortunately, growing up, many people forget how it is to follow their own interests. They get used to stop their impulses, gradually losing sensitivity to their own desires.
Then there is a need to lie on the couch in front of the TV, since there is no other use for yourself. So familiar, easier and safer. Only now there is no energy from this process, respectively, there can be no talk of any tone.
Therefore, remember what used to give you pleasure, joy, what you wanted to learn, but for some reason you put it off, did not allow yourself.
Food
Review your diet, after all, nutrition has a rather serious impact on human health and well-being. Properly selected foods will give a feeling of lightness, while unhealthy foods, on the contrary, will begin to create obstacles to gaining tone.
- If you are used to drinking only a cup of coffee in the morning without breakfast, then you deprive yourself of cheerfulness. Yes, and harm the body. You need to eat a hearty meal so that you have enough energy until lunch. It is better to stop the choice on porridge, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese.
- Before eating in the morning, drink a glass of clean water. This promotes good digestion and awakens all organs and systems. You can add lemon juice, honey, mint, or even a couple of slices of cucumber and basil to the water. In general, depending on your tastes and preferences.
- At least a few times a week, eat broths or soups. Better yet, every day.
- Organize snacks not from chips and crackers, but opt for yogurt, nuts, fruits. They are better absorbed and saturate the body with useful substances and trace elements, which only contributes to good health.
- Dinner should be at least two hours before bedtime, otherwise, if you eat enough and go to bed, your stomach will have to “work” all night. And in the morning you will feel heaviness and lethargy.
Water
To maintain internal resources and health in general, as well as to ensure the vital activity of organs and systems, it is important to drink clean water in large quantities. That is, at least two liters per day.
A contrast shower will help you cheer up and feel good all day. If you want to forget about what lethargy and apathy are, temper yourself.

Dream
I think there is no need to explain how lack of sleep affects our activity and health. Lack of strength, irritability, lethargy, apathy… And this is not the worst. When a person goes to bed late, gets up early, or wakes up too late, his biological rhythms go astray.
If he is awake at a time when the body should produce melatonin, cortisol and other hormones, then over time he will suffer from insomnia, depression and get a number of unpleasant diseases.
There simply will not be resources to cope with stress, which is why a lot of opportunities in life will be missed. Tasks that can be done lightly will require more effort. In general, carefully monitor your biological rhythms, do not interfere with the body to take care of you.
Care
Take care of yourself and try not only to use your free time, but also to have fun. Hang out with people who make you feel better. Or at least not spoil it for you.
Gives colossal resources of closeness and support. If you have such a person next to whom it is easy and free for you and you can afford to talk about everything without fear of devaluation and rejection, criticism, then you are very lucky.
In the case when such close relationships have not yet been formed, start working in this direction. The understanding that in this big and sometimes dangerous world there is someone who cares about you and who you can rely on in difficult times is in fact priceless.
Fighting fears
Obsessive thoughts and fears debilitate, provoke insomnia and negatively affect absolutely all spheres of human life.
It is imperative to work with them, no matter if you seek help from a specialist, try it on your own or just talk with friends. But in no case should you hush up or ignore them, because subconsciously they will still remind you of themselves.
For example, usually repressed fears manifest themselves in nightmares, sometimes leading to the fact that a person cannot sleep at all, fully and qualitatively rest.
In general, if you have any obsessive thoughts that deprive you of peace, be sure to declare a fight to them. And how best to do this, you will learn from this article.
Bad habits
They need to be eliminated, or at least minimized. And if smoking or a passion for alcohol is sometimes not as easy to win as it seems and you want, then constant watching of TV or news on social networks can be completely limited. Do you know what and how?
Immersed in real life. In the evening, instead of wallowing in front of the blue screen, it is quite possible to walk around the area. At least 10-15 minutes. This will contribute to sound sleep, good health, help get rid of apathy and bad mood.
In general, as you could understand, it is difficult to achieve tone without maintaining a healthy lifestyle. And sometimes it’s impossible, so reconsider your values, priorities, and habits.
Sex and love
High-quality sex, which is a pleasure, and not a necessity, helps not only to improve mood and give energy, vigor, but also to strengthen muscles, lose weight. In addition, during lovemaking, endorphins, the so-called happiness hormone, are produced.
And he not only fights depression and improves mood, but is even a pain reliever. So no excuses about having a migraine, quality sex, on the contrary, will get rid of it.
Insulin is also produced, which suggests that the risks of getting diabetes are significantly reduced, like a stroke or heart attack. In general, one benefit. The main thing is that it should be joyful and enjoyable.
New impressions
Go on a trip, at least in your city or village. Visit exhibitions, museums and in general, those places where you can get new emotions and impressions. The life of an adult is sometimes so busy with worries, work and life that there is simply not enough strength for such entertainment.
In a free minute, I want to sleep off, sit out or lie down. But believe me, at least once a week, organizing new experiences for yourself, you yourself will be surprised at the changes in your general well-being and mood.
If you live in a place where it is quite difficult to organize leisure activities, meet new people whenever possible. Communication can also inspire and fulfill. Even if it’s virtual.
