Have you ever wondered why you are so tired all the time? You may be intrigued to know that one of the most common symptoms of constant stress is fatigue.

How is stress connected to energy levels?

Stress is a physiological response your body makes to any demand for change. Whether your stressors are physical or psychological, current, anticipated or imagined, your body always comes to the party in the same way to help you survive. 

That being said, your stress response is not designed to be ‘always on’. When used in excess, your stress response can impact your mental health, brain function, metabolism, hormones, immune system and energy levels. 

Simple ways to destress & refill your energy tank

1. Find time to be mindful each day 

Just a couple of minutes each day engaging in a mindfulness practice like meditation, journaling or deep-belly breathing can help you to switch off and destress.

2. Get your groove on

Movement is like a mini-vacation from everyday stressors - it's free and you can do it anytime, anywhere. Walk, dance, gym, garden - do something that brings you joy, mutes your worries and uplifts you.

3. Make sleep your new best friend 

Research shows that a lack of quality sleep leaves you more likely to feel mentally foggy, stressed, and on edge. To help you get your seven to eight hours of nightly shut-eye, focus on optimising your wind-down routine. Try candlelit evenings, scheduled bedtimes and/or sleeping in a cold dark room. And although it might be hard to kick the habit, avoiding screens two hours before bedtime will help you fall asleep more easily.

4. Eat for nourishment

Nourishing food choices are important for your nervous system. They contain nutrients, antioxidants and fibres that you need to support your stress resilience. Enjoying a variety of whole, fresh and unprocessed foods can make a world of difference to how you deal with stress.

5. Take a high-strength B vitamin supplement
