Been struggling with lack of energy?

I'm feeling more exhausted than usual. Maybe the late night writing binges are catching up to me. I woke up today, and felt dehydrated. My back muscles were stiff. I felt like I was sleeping out in a desert. Before I went to sleep, I drank plenty of water.

Maybe I need to drink a Coke or a Rockstar. When you're used to drinking those type of drinks, you might suffer with low energy because your body is dependent on them.

I decided that it would be wise to work out at the gym. I need to infuse my heart and lungs with some good healthy exercise. A few months back, I was walking and working out everyday. Now I'm sporadic with exercise.

Since the gym is open 24 hours a day, I find that it benefits me because I don't usually follow one of those customary schedules. If you're a writer and feel like the way I do right about now, read "Writing tip of the day 8/25/09". Writing burnout can fatigue your mind, making your energy levels drop below the norm. Take some time to rest.

When writing creates stress

After producing four Power Point slides on change management, the impact of doing such research, writing, and producing the main slides overloaded my mind. While I enjoy writing, there are times when the stress of doing it just makes me feel burnt out.

Whatever it's worth, I need to find time to rest. There are times when I am able to write at a highly efficient level and then there are other moments where I struggle to produce quality work. Maybe I am too critical about the quality of my work. Exhaustion produces criticism.

Yesterday, I had a massive headache, my muscles were aching, and I just felt like I ran a marathon. For the last decade, my body has been feeling the stress. Every unfortunate event has taken a toll on my mind, which in result makes me feel overloaded and overworked. Sometimes a person just needs to relax. The simple things in life don't seem that easy anymore. Time always becomes an issue. Scheduling in activities is something one has to do

Going to the beach, watching a movie, and hanging out at a bookstore are good ways to reduce your stress. I need to schedule those activities in so I rejuvenate my mind. While I enjoy writing, the type of projects I currently work on are the complete opposite of what I like and want to do. Maybe I will better after I take some time to recoup my energy.
