How to get over chronic fatigue?

Are you tired of feeling tired all the time? Are you sick of dragging yourself through life like a sloth on Valium? Well, fear not my friends, for I have the solution to your chronic fatigue woes.

1. Acceptance is key

The first step towards overcoming chronic fatigue is admitting that you are indeed fatigued chronically. You can’t solve a problem if you deny its existence. Embrace your bloated energyless self and accept that this is where you are at right now.

2. Sleep

Sleep might be an obvious one but hear me out here folks; sleep isn’t just any ordinary activity it’s FREAKING MAGICAL! It’s basically 6-8 hours of blissful unconsciousness wrapped in a cozy blanket with unicorn farts as pillows. So get at least seven diamond-encrusted hours of sleep every night, or suffer from consequences ranging from being constantly cranky to resembling a squid rejected by society.

3. Water Therapy

‘Drink water”,” they said “it will be fun!”, they said… But what do we actually know about drinking loads of water?

-It flushes out toxins (goodbye alcohol induced depression)
-Helps muscles work better (have mercy gym-goers)
-Makes sure important vitamins and minerals are delivered to cells
-Delays hunger and aids weight-loss plans

Bottoms Up!

4.Exercise ( GASP!)
Yes, yes, I understand workouts sound like death incarnate ☠️ but stick with me here champ it gets better 🏋️‍♀️ start light at first and then gradually make your way up e.g:- walking slowly challenging yourself each day .Exercise will increase circulation resulting in more oxygen flowing throughout our body helping us maintain alertness throughout the day.
So grab those weights 🏋️‍♂️and start pumping, because the iron is your friend.

5. Supplements
Don’t worry this isn’t some sort of marketing gimmick or pyramid scheme 🤨 Hey!👀 put that eyebrow down buddy🕵️. As it turns out, many of us are lacking important vitamins and minerals needed to operate at our best. Consult a doctor on what supplements will get you more pep in your step throughout the day.

6. Nutritious diet
”It’s just what it sounds like” said every Tom,Dick,and Harry nutritionists ever…but there really is something special about maintaining a wholesome eatery set for ourselves 👇

-Reduce sugar intake while increasing protein sources so you keep full to avoid them midday snacking disappointments.
-#Team veggies ( noooo.. I am not being biased)
