Activity Creates Energy
A Simple Truth For Overcoming Tiredness
Modern life is tiring. The vast majority of Americans spend 8-10 hours of their day working and commuting. These 8-10 hours are primarily fueled by caffeine and sugar. But caffeine and sugar make it harder for us to sleep, which in turn makes us more tired, and in need of more caffeine and sugar to push through the following day. By the end of the workday, most Americans are simply too tired to cook, go to the gym, or make time for hobbies.
There is no easy fix for getting out of this situation that many people find themselves in. But, there is a simple truth that can help us feel better while dealing with it. The truth is that “activity creates energy”.
The feeling of being tired can often be the thing that prevents us from taking action. For example, feeling tired is one of the main reasons people use to talk themselves out of going to the gym. In this situation, it can be helpful to remind yourself that going to the gym and exercising will not make you more tired, but actually give you energy. This simple truth applies to almost any kind of activity that is worth doing.
Taking action and doing the things that make us feel good does not simply drain the little energy we have left after work, but creates more energy for us. The reason is that when we engage our minds and bodies in something that gives us meaning and purpose, something that we truly enjoy, we tap into hidden sources of motivation and desire that override our tiredness, and provide new sources of energy.
