My Reason to Not Blog Gave Me Something to Blog About

[killxanga]

 I have to admit, on top of being unorganized and procrastinating with my school work, the other big reason I haven't blogged in weeks has to do with how little energy I've been having.

Naturally, this sounds like a problem many people have. The symptoms include, but are not limited to:

• Having trouble getting out of bed in the morning
• Not wanting to get out and socialize
• Not eating out of laziness to cook or to even buy/obtain food
• Relaxing in front of the computer because the TV is in another room of the house
• Avoiding driving out of fear of falling asleep behind the wheel

Out of my nature to want to problem-solve, my lack of energy lead me to a few conclusions:

1. I am sick. --- I must be sick because I'm not usually this lazy nor this apathetic about doing things. Maybe my body is rerouting my energy in order to fight off pathogens.
2. I haven't been eating right. --- I must not be eating properly because I never felt this way when I would consider my food before consuming it or when I would eat on a regular basis. Maybe my body doesn't have enough calories or nutrients to maintain an active lifestyle.
3. I haven't been getting enough exercise/mental stimulation. --- I must not be using my body or mind enough because I never had energy issues when I would exercise and do homework regularly. Maybe my body adjusted its appetite to be more efficient for the lack of energy I've been spending.

To attack these conclusions, I tried adjusting each of them in the order I listed them. I tried to stay warm, wash my hands often, keep my distance from sick people and to no avail; I was not sick. I tried eating more often, eating a greater variety of food and to no avail, I was still lazy and my muscles would twitch to consume the excess calories I had taken in.

The last conclusion was the best one for my situation (Thanks to Joyce for helping me reach that conclusion.) so I went on to do things like walking more often, even without a purpose besides exercising; I read things like blogs and essays that were not required of me from school work; and I played music to the point of either soreness or perspiration.

The moral to the story of my recent life:
Stimulate Your Muscles, Challenge Your Brain
and your body will thank you with more energy to continue improving yourself.
Peace and Love
