then i can give you details about that
at the end of this video
so today's video is one that's a little
bit different because it's
more related to a very specific topic
and that is
coveted 19 fatigue coven 19 fatigue is
actually
a buzzword that i've been seeing in news
articles
lately in magazine articles and it's
been interesting because
i feel like it's something that's sort
of been suggested to us this idea that
we are tired of covid19
and i really want to talk about this
topic with you because
i think it is wearing a lot of people
down and it's slowing us
in our internal growth in our internal
exploration of ourselves it's stopping
us from
being fully present and it's really just
dragging all of us down so today i want
to share with
you some of my best tips on how you can
deal with this
coven 19 fatigue and how you can set
yourself up for success
for the new year that's to come tip
number one
stop telling yourself that you're
fatigued so here's my theory
i have actually recently been going
through news articles and i've been
reading
quite a bit about this feeling that we
all seem to be going through lately
which is this covid19 fatigue
and i honestly believe that it's these
types of articles
that are suggesting this feeling to us
and it's actually brainwashing us and
causing us to feel
that we are fatigued and tired and sick
and tired of
the coven 19 pandemic that's not to say
that you're not feeling
sick and tired of covid19 all on your
own
but i do think there is something to the
power of suggestion
that's what i'm referring to which is
that when someone suggests
that you're potentially feeling this way
because of a certain reason and they
label it they call it something such as
covid19 fatigue then all of a sudden if
you
somehow believe or agree with them you
start to feel
even more of that potential feeling so
that feeling of
fatigue that tiredness that annoyance
that frustration that irritability
you actually convince yourself that yeah
that's what i'm going through i'm going
through covert 19 fatigue and
it ends up being your whole identity it
ends up being how you
wake up every day it ends up being how
you feel when you go to bed
and it's something that you carry with
you throughout the entire day
and into the next day and this is why i
believe that it's so important that you
beware of what it is that you're telling
yourself and what it is that you're
agreeing with
because if you continue to agree with
these articles that tell you
hey you're feeling tired you're going to
continue to feel tired that's not going
to end
until you recognize that hey i don't
have to
agree with what these articles are
telling me to feel i can instead decide
how i want to feel myself
so number one tip like i said is to stop
telling yourself
that you feel fatigued tip number two
clean up the inside mess
before anything else so it's not as
simple as just saying
okay i'm gonna stop telling myself that
i feel tired and hopefully i won't feel
tired anymore
that's not really what i mean and that's
not how it works
but what i am trying to point out is
that
there is something deeper within you if
you are feeling irritable if you are
feeling frustrated if you are feeling
even sad on a regular basis there is
something deeper that's going on within
you
that you need to look at and that's what
i refer to as the inside mess you need
to tidy up
what's inside in order to feel a lot
more refreshed
the inside mess that i'm referring to is
the inner
turmoil that you are currently feeling
because we're having to work from home
and we're staying at home
majority of the time it can feel a lot
like groundhog day
every single day so i don't know if
you've ever seen the movie groundhog day
but it's about a man who wakes up every
day
and every day is just like the last he
meets the same people he goes through
the same interactions
the same events and it just really
doesn't end and the next morning he
wakes up and it starts all over again
nothing changes
until he changes himself only until he
sees things differently is his day and
his days
are able to change so that's what i'm
referring to
here you want to start going on a detox
for yourself
detox means to clean up that inside mess
you want to stop adding more of a mess
to it so that means
stop going on websites reading news
articles
and filling yourself up with anything
that is just adding to that tired
feeling that's adding to that annoyance
adding to that irritability adding to
that sadness
you want to intentionally set boundaries
for yourself
and block out the noise you want to do
this for a little while
maybe do it for at least a day two days
three days at a time
or do it in little spurts you know for
the next five hours i'm not going to add
anything
to my inner turmoil instead i want to
allow myself to just be
with who i am and not allow anything to
get
in my way and you're probably thinking
to yourself oh but i want to stay in the
loop
with you know the news i need to know
what's going on in the world
and the truth is you don't really need
to know
everything that's going on in the world
you don't need to jump into that drama
that's outside of you
but if you do really really want to keep
in check with what's going on
fine give yourself five minutes five
minutes every day to just go through the
news articles that you want to go
through
read up on what's new and then once that
time is done
just turn it off and put it away if you
can i know it's tough i know it's
difficult
this is something i'm asking you to do
that is has become a true habit for all
of us we are so
used to being next to our phones and
reading our phones even if
it's something that we don't even care
too much about but we'll read it
just to distract ourselves why because
we can't even sit with our own feelings
and that's what i'm asking you to do now
is to set boundaries for yourself clean
up that inside noise
that inner turmoil and that will start
to help you to feel a little bit more
clear on yourself and you'll feel clear
about your path it's so important to
become aware of what's going on
inside because once you are aware of it
you can then do the work of
removing it and once you're able to
remove it you can then make room to
appreciate
all that you do already have tip number
three is to focus
on the here and now the truth is even i
find myself feeling antsy
at times wondering when is this whole
thing ever going to end
because it just feels like it's never
going to end even though there's
glimmers of hope here and there
but what i'm trying to say is the way to
combat that feeling
is to be present focus on what you have
to do
right now for the next hour and do it
and then the next hour focus on what you
have to do and then do that
and pretty much just do that every hour
every half hour however long
you can last until you get through the
end of the day unfortunately
it sounds sad but to be honest it's not
because when you can just focus on what
you have to do now
and you spend your time and energy doing
that one thing
even if it's just to take a nap you are
being present you are being alert
to what it is that's in front of you
rather than
distracting yourself mindlessly by again
going on your phone
reading news articles reading things
that you don't need to be reading up
about
and filling your mind with additional
thoughts that
don't need to be there tip number four
is to embrace
self-loving energy every day so this is
something that i've recently learned to
do
and i'm getting better at it but i'm
still
a little shaky and i need practice with
it myself but
it has worked during the times that i
have done it so
what it is is you want to put yourself
in a position where
you have time and space where you don't
have any distractions
and you can allow yourself to close your
eyes and
think about a friend or family member
who you love deeply
you know it could be your spouse
it could be a sibling it could be a
child anyone that you can think of who
you love very much
and what you want to do is you want to
focus on the energy the feeling of love
that you have towards this person
and just allow yourself to envelop
yourself in that feeling
and when you can embrace that feeling
within you
what you then want to do is beyond
transferring that energy
and focusing on that person who you love
you want to take that energy and then
bring it back to yourself
and you want to wrap yourself in that
feeling of self-love
so you're giving love to that one person
but you're taking that love energy and
you're giving it to yourself as well
and what happens is you start to feel so
much more at peace so much more warmth
so much more balanced is what i found
and so when you can practice this
feeling of giving yourself
loving energy all of a sudden you feel
so much more refreshed because the truth
is
we don't give ourselves loving energy
very often on a daily basis instead we
do the very opposite we give ourselves
pretty much negative feeling energy
you know we'll criticize ourselves we'll
talk down to ourselves
and it's just the complete opposite of
what you should be doing because we need
to be feeding ourselves
with this loving energy first so if you
can start practicing this for yourself
notice how much more balanced and calm
you are throughout the day tip number
five is to write it all down
when we're going through an anxiety
written time
it's really easy for us to allow that
anxiety
to stay with us live with us
day and night but when that anxiety
stays with you for that long of a period
day after
day it's actually poisoning your body
and if you don't want that energy to
live with you the way that it has been
then you need to
energetically release it and one way is
to
journal i've advocated journaling time
and time again
in my videos and the reason why i
advocate that you should start
journaling if you don't already
is because it works take 10 to 20
minutes to write down this is my journal
by the way this is my journal
take 10 to 20 minutes of your day to
write down
what you're feeling to write down
anything that comes to you
and you want to also ask for guidance
you know whether it's your higher self
or your guides or
god or whoever you believe in you want
to ask for guidance you want to ask your
questions
and write them down and then write
whatever comes to you in terms of
answers
because you will get that much more
clear
on what it is that you're feeling you'll
be able to process that
inner turmoil that's going on within you
and you'll be able to energetically
release it it's
taken out from within you and it's down
on paper
so you can then separate yourself from
it this is something that i do regularly
and i feel
so much clearer when i'm done because
it's out of my system
whatever's been going on up here or
bothering me in here
i'm able to put it down on paper and
it's
outside of me it's no longer attached
and stuck within me
