Chronic fatigue syndrome. No strength to live and work
I have no strength to live and work. What to do if you don’t want anything? If you are constantly tired and lack of strength?
Chronic fatigue syndrome is an extremely unpleasant condition. Such victims complain of loss of strength, drowsiness, and constant fatigue.
In this situation, it is noteworthy that it turned out to be very difficult to reliably diagnose it. Since blood tests do not reveal anything special. Therefore, doctors, seeing such a patient, probably do not know whether he really is so bad or whether he is faking it for some reason. While relatives and friends consider him a whiner and a slacker.
Meanwhile, to make a diagnosis you need one leading symptom and several minor ones. In our case, the leading symptom is prolonged fatigue and a feeling of reluctance (impossibility) to move and move. Plus, subjectively a person feels several additional symptoms.
Chronic fatigue
How to increase vitality and energy through exercise?
Moderate physical activity gives you vigor and strength, while excessive physical activity tires you out. Even light exercise for 20-30 minutes circulates blood throughout the body, saturates the body with oxygen and increases vitality.
Physical activity options for the very busy:
- walk 2-3 stops;
- go up and down the stairs at home and at work, refuse the elevator;
- at the grocery store, choose a basket rather than a cart and carry it in your hands;
- walk with your children every day for at least half an hour;
- perform simple exercises while watching TV;
- do squats or leg swings while brushing your teeth;
- while still lying in bed, do stretching exercises;
- dance to your favorite music.
If you've never exercised before, don't start with a heavy load right away. Let your muscles get used to the new sensations. At first, even a simple half-hour walk will be beneficial.
Separately, it is necessary to say about yoga. Contrary to popular belief, practicing yoga not only helps you relax, but also fills your body with energy. Exercises remove blocks and clamps in the body, muscles relax, and the body receives strength and a charge of vigor.
How to increase the body's strength using relaxation techniques?
Those who know how to relax properly cope better with stress, maintain energy, strength and tone.
Neuromuscular relaxation method
It is based on relaxing certain muscle groups by focusing attention on them.
During the relaxation process, you need to imagine how the muscles become soft, pliable, how warmth spreads through them:
- Sit comfortably on a chair. Relax your torso muscles (abdomen, chest, back). Stay in this position until you count to 10;
- move on to the head muscles. Feel how they relax and the tension goes away from top to bottom. Hold this position;
- feel the relaxation of the muscles of your neck, shoulders, arms;
- after 10 seconds of relaxation, proceed to gradual relaxation of the leg muscles;
- finally, at the end of the exercise, feel lightness throughout your body, vigor, and clarity of mind.
During the session, it is important to be able to distract yourself from extraneous thoughts and affairs, and concentrate only on the current sensations in the body.
Meditation
This ancient relaxation method has several options: yoga body positions, breathing techniques, certain sounds, prayers. Meditation helps to calm the body and soul and increase the vitality of the body.
A simple meditation technique that is suitable for beginners:
- Find a quiet, secluded place. For example, a river bank, a field or a secluded place in an apartment. The background can be natural sounds of nature (the sound of water, rustling leaves, birdsong) or calm music;
- take a comfortable position;
- focus on breathing. Imagine how the air enters the nose, then into the lungs, and then comes out again. Don't think about anything extraneous. Concentrate only on the current state and environment;
- come out of meditation smoothly, gradually, over several minutes.
Reasons for the decline in our energy
There are many reasons for decreased vital energy.
This includes poor nutrition, the introduction of an unhealthy lifestyle, poor ecology, sitting for long periods in front of the TV and computer, and everyday stress. Much has already been written and retold about them. And I won't repeat myself.
I’ll tell you about those factors that few people talk about, but they, in fact, consume the lion’s share of our energy, which means we need to get rid of them first. By freeing yourself from them, you will finally regain most of your energy and become a truly healthy and happy person. And having become stronger, you will no longer be so afraid of the environment, stress, or other unfavorable factors. People forget about them because many people don’t benefit from people knowing everything; some people simply don’t talk about them. The system needs obedient people. And a person with strong energy becomes smart, wise, and therefore free from the system. He rules his own destiny. How you want to become strong or weak, free or slave, is up to you to decide.
