Apologies. By discuss, I simply meant what preliminary changes have been effective in your experience.
Exercise is usually suggested as being of great help in dealing with lethargy.
Yet being continually fatigued, regardless, is something on another level altogether. Exercise does not necessarily increase vitaly. So I am interested in hearing what other suggestions you may have in addition to protein diet and exercise which stimulates both the circulation and organ functions.
Thanks.
I found in my experience, that chronic fatigue has been largely due to improper rest and diet. By rest I mean both sleep and restfulness during the day.
Firstly I was unaware that I hardly slept through the night, both the quality and duration of sleep were bad. And second, during the day I’d also exhaust myself without realising just trying to complete the day’s tasks.
After moxa on certain points, I slept deeper and uninterrupted and woke up feeling more rested.Going overboard on sugars also tired me out, so controlling those definitely helped.
And lastly, meditation definitely helped. Since I started doing Kriya yoga I don’t feel the need sleep during the day at all. I’m sure other types of meditation will have a similar effect.
chronic fatigue doesn’t exist by itself. could be almost infinite possibilities on why it is happening, from organic reason to mental reasons. this is why our system relies on the pulse to find out what is happening exactly.
There is no such thing as general treatment for something so general like this.
But I will say this – losing the zest of life is one type of chronic fatigue. And if you can mentally overcome or change attitude of that alone, and take action (go out, do things, meet people etc), then you can overcome anything that comes after – there is always a level at which someone can start, however low or high doesn’t matter, as any push towards will already naturally help change the pattern.
Thank you, both.
It is evident that the REST activity is of the essence.
Be it in the form of actually giving one’s self permission to sleep, or relax from overdoing; be it the idea of rest a change of activity.
Obviously fatigue, if observantly looked upon, will point to exactly what it is the individual is fatigued by / from. But this may be made very hard to admit if, for instance, it is a family situation, or another “trapping” situation that is not so easy to step out and away from. Thence the complexity in offering one-sized solutions, implied.
Nevertheless, change of activity is what is required. And within this apparently broad directive, there is plenty of scope to personalize the idea of rest, – which is what is necessary, or at the least is a good place to start
Sometimes resting isn’t the best option. Because the body, when unbalanced, prefers what is not good for it, to keep that imbalance.
So you have to think on both ends before making the decision. So obviously don’t strain yourself but also push yourself too.
Hope this makes sense. =)
good point, Z, thank you.
however, and just to disambiguate:
a lot of people still associate rest with stillness, with stopping, whereas I was referring to “a change in activity”, as “rest”.
an example: someone who always practices hatha yoga, would “rest” by doing vinyasa, or going for a run, or a swim. just as someone who always goes shopping to relax, could try going for a massage, to the theatre, or to some live music. point being, change in activity also has a restful effect.i also think chronic fatigue can stem from the mental issue of giving up on life, and not wanting to continue with either an aspect of life, either from constant stress, or just general situations in life, making the person’s organic (body level) adopting the fatigue as being chronic.
Changing full surroundings or even country can greatly help with that.
