Ten things you can do when you lack energy

Hello, so normally I would post a blog on this site, Sunday and Monday, but I wanted to try as of last weekend, to see if having Sunday as rest day from my blogs would help, and it did, because then I can focus on other things I need to do.

I have been suffering with lack of energy this week, because it is that “Time of the Month” and so feel super tired and even as I write this blog, I can hear the niggling voice telling me not to bother with this post and go to bed, but I don’t want to, because if I lay down now, it can effect me sleeping tonight.

I was supposed to write this post yesterday (Monday) but I was just super tired and needed to take a night off from blogging, which is usually my time where I have quiet and write my blogs at the moment.

However, there is always things that can still be done when you lack drive and motivation. So here are ten things you can do when you lack energy:

1. Do some yoga stretching, which I am going to try to do soon, to see if this will waken me up and help me, as I have been feeling very achy today
2. Go through your emails, which I know may be boring but if you just do a quick flick through and create labels to go into for emails you want to save, then this can help you to concentrate on the emails you want to keep and which you don’t, without it taking too long
3. Watch Youtube and create a playlist of videos
4. Take a bath or a nice shower, and treat yourself to essential oils
5. Read a book or listen to an audio book, nothing that is too demanding, but a book that can take you somewhere else for an hour or so
6. Create a wish list of any kind, just focus on items that make you happy
7. Have a day off and do nothing. I like my super lazy days, that sometimes I can’t even be bothered to take of my Pjamas
8. Add items in your favourite or on your Sky planner of things to watch, and have a TV feast of all the programmes you want to watch, back to back
9. Journal. I love to journal and write about how I am feeling, it clears out my mind and allows it to reset
10. Clear out a draw. I often like to declutter, even when I have low energy, because it makes me see that I have still accomplished something,

Should you think of anything else then please comment below.

Many thanks for reading,
