Have you ever made the committed decision to create change to transform yourself? Maybe it is to lose weight, build your business, get into shape, develop relationships, de-clutter your house, or change your house around. You were determined to do it, you had the vision in your mind, you purchased everything you thought you needed in order to get things done and then…you start asking:
“why am I so tired?” “I have all that I need, I have made the time, I even REALLY want this to happen!” but…Having had this experience myself and more than once, I found that it was becoming a “habit”. I couldn’t believe it. “Was I creating this tired feeling myself?” “Was I sabotaging my own success?”
After visiting my tired energy, I sat down and started asking myself “Was this a form of self-sabotage?” What I found was, yes…possibly it was. I worked through my feelings, which were directed to my belief level and limiting thoughts, along with doubt. Once I connected and worked through them I was also able to connect to a few physical issues that were also not supporting my goals. I was able to fix them and now I am renewed with high energy to do what needs to get done without hesitation!
So I ask you today…”Are you tired?” “Not just sick and tired…but down right feeling tired?” If so, read below
to see if any of the symptons on the list may obtain to you, and I pray that you connect to one and that the suggestions may help you increase your energy in order to complete your Life’s Transformation! The next items were from an article by (Catherine Pritt,I’m So Tired. What Your Brain Might Be Trying to Tell You).
1. Are you bored? If you’re bored with your job or your personal life, you’re going to feel tired. It’s amazing how much your attitude towards life will affect how you feel.
Here’s an example, you come home from work and just collapse on the couch because you’re so tired. You have no desire to move and don’t want to do anything. The phone rings. It’s your best friend and he’s just won backstage tickets to a band that you love. How do you feel now? Five minutes ago you were dead tired. Now that you’re getting the chance to do something exciting and new, you’re full of energy again. You don’t even think about being tired anymore. The difference is that you have something exciting and fun to look forwards to now.
So, take a good look at what’s happening in your life. Do you feel like you’re trapped doing the same thing every day with no hope for escape? I used to feel like my whole life was “get up, go to work, come home, make dinner, do a few chores, go to bed, repeat again tomorrow”. When I came home I would just be so tired. Once I realized what was happening and changed it, it was absolutely amazing how much energy I suddenly had. Life is way too short to spend it bored out of your mind. So, what’s happening in your life? Is it time to look for a new job? Do you need to try something new?
2. Are you frustrated? Just like the previous point, if you’re frustrated with what’s happening in your life or with the world in general, you can end up feeling tired all the time. Especially, if you’re at the point where you feel like you don’t have any options. You feel like you’re a victim and that there’s nothing you can do. The truth is that you always have options and different choices you can make. You just need to figure out what they are. Ask yourself, what are you feeling and why?
3. Are there medical issues? (thyroid, etc.)
Sometimes there really could be a medical reason as to why you’re not functioning at full potential. Could be a good opportunity just to get checked out by your physician.
4. Do you have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)?
SAD is estimated to affect 6 out of every 100 people in North America during the winter months. If you’re feeling constantly tired and are craving carbohydrates and sweet foods, you might have SAD which is caused by a lack of sunlight. You can read about my personal experience with SAD here: Why am I so tired?
5. Are you eating well? Sugar and caffeine can give us a temporary feeling of energy but you’ll find that you’re even more tired a few hours later. Plus, the next day you’re also going to be tired from what you ate the day before. Check out my review of the Schwarzbein Principle. She really explains well the principles of proper nutrition and how what you eat may be affecting how you think and feel.
You may also simply be dehydrated, be sure to read “Another Reason For Feeling Tired – Dehydration”. Or you may be deficient in certain nutrients like Vitamin D.
6. Are you doing too much, staying up too late? We all need some downtime but today’s society runs at full speed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and it’s very easy to get caught up in it. Also, I know all the best tv shows seem to be on way past my bedtime. Burning yourself out from doing too much or not getting enough sleep is eventually going to catch up with you.
7. Are you around negative people? Negative people can be like black holes which just suck all your energy out of you because they’re emotionally draining to be around. Be careful of allowing negative people to steal your energy. Here are 10 tips on “How To Deal With Negative People”.
So, the next time you are feeling tired…ask”Do I need to rest, eat, drink water or address my thoughts?” “Are any
of these behaviors and or thoughts being created in the form of self-sabotage. Do I need help to move past these?
If so, I am available to support you! Don’t delay another day to do what you know needs to be done and you do not know why you are or because you are saying “I am so tired…again.”
In belief!

In order to discover what success awaits you behind door number 10…you must open the 9 doors before them. Every time you deliberately say yes, in intention to something that feels right, for the right reasons, not greet or want, not for ego or wrong gain, then you are opening the door righteously, without knowing what lies behind it. You will never reach the “right” door number, no matter how many it takes, unless you continue opening them up. Open in faith and abundance, not fear and lack. With each one you will be one door closer to the “right” door.
