This time I want to address the issue of discouragement, or what is the same emotional exhaustion. This is a decline in mood, lack of energy or desire to do something. Exhaustion weakens us physically and mentally. It is a dimension that arises from "too much": too many decisions, too many intrusive thoughts, too much work, obligations, anxieties. At the same time, it is also a reflection of too many "too few". Too little quality time for oneself, too few hours of dreaming, too little inner calm.
I believe that at some point we have all experienced this feeling, this wear and tear at all levels. We must take into account that a psychologically fatigued brain works and responds to stimuli in a different way. On the other hand, an aspect that sometimes leads us to errors is to think that this exhaustion is due to a fateful accumulation or disappointments. This is not true. Most of the time, fatigue is the direct result of an excessive volume of tasks and activities that are beyond us.
An example of this feeling could be: when a person feels satisfied with his life, likes his job, has a partner he adores and also has the joy of being a parent. Everything around him is satisfying. However, every day he notices that it is more difficult for him to make decisions, his mood is more taciturn, sometimes he cannot sleep. He does not understand why this feeling occurs to him; however, in his mind there is something that tells him that something is wrong. One of the causes of this feeling is that there are many things going on in his life at the same time.
In relation to that, all this gives shape to a constellation where "too many few" make a "too much" in your head, endangering your ability to control. Your emotional and mental exhaustion is evident, moreover it is wearing. To counteract all that you must give yourself 3 permissions: Give yourself permission to find yourself again and for that nothing better than enjoying hours where you reduce to the maximum all stimulus. Also, give yourself permission to prioritize, remember what is a priority for you. Even, give yourself permission to be less demanding, let's learn to be realistic, to take advantage of the time without putting pressure on ourselves or the desire for everything to be perfect.
In the same vein, the exhausted person usually lacks time for him/herself. Nor does he or she receive sufficient recognition, affection or consideration. The person is expected to "perform" all the time. As if he/she has no needs, or as if he/she is stronger than everyone else and can take it all. On the other hand, the best way to overcome emotional exhaustion, of course, is rest.
You have to find time off to relax and be calm. People who demand too much of themselves go for years without taking a vacation. This should not be done. Sooner or later it only leads to certain fatigue. Another solution is to work on building a different attitude toward daily obligations. It is also important for the person to adopt a healthy lifestyle, which includes a balanced diet, physical exercise and a good night's rest.
Finally, it is important to be aware of ourselves. For this, there is nothing better than dedicating some time a day to be alone. Breathing, reconnecting with who we are and what we want. It is essential to develop an attitude of understanding and kindness for ourselves. Otherwise, sooner or later it will be impossible for us to move forward. We know that our reality is increasingly demanding, that sometimes we want to reach everyone and everything. However, it does not hurt to remember one idea, that we are flesh and blood, and that we need to nourish ourselves with rest and calm.
Do you think there is such a thing as emotional discouragement?
