6 Keys You Must Use to Get Rid of Fatigue and Increase Vitality

Have you ever noticed that exhaustion isn't so much a physical state as it is a feeling? Anything from thoughts about problems in your life to the refrigerator being too small for some cherished plan can bring on exhaustion in a matter of seconds. Because exhaustion is a feeling, it may seem impossible to overcome. Nevertheless, with intent, choice, and purpose, the six main aspects of your self, or "keys" can be used either to feed fatigue or help you have all the vitality you were meant to have. Read on to find out how to use these six keys unlock your unique path to vitality, wellness, and happiness.

Key #1: Your Mind

Let's say you are in traffic, minding your own business, when someone suddenly cuts you off. You jam the brakes hard and nearly avoid an accident; only to see the other driver make a rude gesture as he speeds away. Upon returning home, you are still feeling irritated and having "conversations" with that driver within the privacy of your mind. Is it any wonder that you feel drained and exhausted?

Take a moment now and listen to your mental chatter. Is if full of angry words, wishes for bad things to happen, fear that you are a "soft mark" for drivers that act like bullies? Are you renting space in your head to that driver by creating confrontation scenarios with someone you are likely never to see again let alone talk to? Each time you rent space in your head to other people, especially when they involve negative interactions, you are doing twice to three times the work required to keep a steady train of your own thoughts going.

This is just one type of mind chatter that serves to reduce your energy levels without providing a way to revitalize. These kinds of self chatter will make you feel exhausted:

endlessly points out why you can't do something

reminds you that you are not good enough or worthy enough

distracts you from what you really want to be doing

makes you feel bad, unhappy, or diminished

Fixing this problem is easier than you may realize. First, take note of the negative thoughts. Next, take steps to stop (don't simply try to deny them with an opposition) those thoughts, or the emotions they create. Finally, replace those thoughts with positive ones that are in alignment with your true needs.
