Spring is a time of renewal, when we come alive with nature. But for many of us, it's the opposite: we feel tired, demotivated and cranky. In this article we'll look at why spring can leave you feeling unmotivated and what you can do about it!
What causes spring fatigue?
Changes in the weather
As spring arrives, we can experience sudden and extreme changes in the weather. These fluctuations can be stressful. And increasing sunlight causes hormonal changes in the body, affecting our body's production of melatonin. This can lead to sleep problems and fatigue. It can feel like it's happening too early and too fast for what we're not ready for. So it's understandable that it's harder to adjust.
Spring allergies
Our fatigue can be exacerbated by spring allergies. Plants in flower at this time of year can trigger allergic reactions in many people. Allergic symptoms such as nasal congestion and eye irritation can add to the discomfort and fatigue.
How to get over spring fatigue?
If you're experiencing the symptoms of spring fatigue yourself, here are some options.
Watch yourself! A adequate amount of sleep will definitely help you. Go to bed before midnight, your body will thank you!
A nutrition can also contribute to a balanced daily life. It helps maintain your energy levels and reduces fatigue! Don't skip meals and try to eat good quality food. You can't go wrong with seasonal vegetables! Sprouts are also beneficial.
A Movement also plays an important role in fighting spring fatigue. Regular exercise boosts endorphin production, improves sleep patterns and increases energy levels. Spring is the perfect time for outdoor activities such as walking, cycling or gardening.
Together, these may even help to alleviate your allergy symptoms!
Finally, let's try to adapt slowly, at our own pace, to the changing weather. It helps if you watch the weather forecast and prepare for possible warm or cold fronts. And if you feel you need a break, don't deprive yourself of it.
CYCLE also helps!
Spring fatigue can also be eased by getting rid of all the old, unimportant items and cleaning the house. It's both a great way to get rid of a lot of old, unnecessary junk, which can make you feel good, and a great way to get some exercise.
When tidying up your home, there are many activities you can do that are specifically designed for exercise, such as mopping floors, vacuuming or gardening. These activities not only help to keep our homes fresh, but they also get us physically active, which can help to reduce fatigue and improve our overall well-being.
