TATT

For the last week I feel I have been suffering from that thing they call Tired All The Time.  At the end of every day I have a slight sore throat and a slightly swollen gland in my neck.  I wake up feeling like I need a nights sleep and at 7.30pm I am pooped and want to go to bed.  I feel like a modern blah, a typical rat race victim of stress and overwork.  Annoying seeing as I am not overworked and I am training to be a yoga teacher.  Its the way it compounds I don't like.  I am tired, so I have little energy, so its hard to feel up about things, so you start to feel a bit down as well, and so then the extra piece of toast and marmalade feels really deserved, though you know its not really doing you any good, and this slippery slope, of feeling tired and so having another coffee, or a coca cola or a glass of wine, or some chocolate....  All to make me feel better, but probably in the end contributing to more of the same TATT feeling.  And I am feeling a bit low.  And everything does feel like a struggle.  And I am getting very fed up with it, and me.

So.  Better do something about it.  As I am definately at the end of my tether with it.  I am torn between going back to bed and doing some exercise.  And not entirely sure which would be better.  A tad of googling has resulted in the cures of good food, enough sleep, probiotics, exercise and no coffee or alcohol. 

So that, I guess is my course of action. 

Off to do a bit of gentle yoga.  And will be hitting the hot water and lemon and some live yoghurt for my snacks and treats.

I know that feeling. It hit when I work too hard or when i am recovering form illness. Raw veggies are my cure. Fahed makes what we call Syrian Salad, finely chopped salad with loads of parsley, dressed with lemon juice, cumin and olive oil and a lot of red chopped chilies. Invigorate anyone!
