Spring is a time of renewal, and we, along with nature, are rejuvenating. But for many, the opposite happens: we feel tired, demotivated, and cranky. In this article, we explore why spring can make us feel unmotivated and what we can do about it!
What causes spring fatigue?
Weather changes
As spring arrives, we may experience sudden and extreme changes in the weather. These fluctuations can be stressful. And the increased sunlight causes hormonal changes in the body, which affects our body's production of melatonin. This can lead to sleep disorders and fatigue. It may feel like it's happening too soon and too quickly, and we're not ready for it. So it's understandable that it's harder to adapt.
Spring allergies
Spring allergies can further increase our fatigue. The plants that bloom at this time can cause allergic reactions in many people. Allergy symptoms such as nasal congestion and eye irritation can further increase the feeling of discomfort and fatigue.
How to overcome spring fatigue?
If you are experiencing symptoms of spring fatigue, here are some options.
Take care of yourself! Getting the right amount of sleep will definitely help you. Go to bed before midnight, your body will thank you!
Nutrition can also contribute to a balanced everyday life. It helps maintain your energy levels and reduces fatigue! Don't skip meals and try to eat good quality foods. You can't go wrong with seasonal vegetables! Sprouts also have beneficial effects.
Exercise also plays an important role in combating spring fatigue. Regular exercise increases the production of endorphins, 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 relieve your allergy symptoms!
Finally, try to adapt to the weather changes slowly, at your own pace . It helps to pay attention to the weather forecast and prepare for possible warm or cold fronts. And if you feel like you need a break, don't deny yourself the opportunity.
CYCLE also helps!
Spring fatigue can also be alleviated by getting rid of all old, no longer important items and cleaning the apartment. This will not only get rid of a lot of old, unnecessary clutter , but it will also make you feel good, and spring cleaning is an excellent opportunity to exercise.
When tidying up our home, we can do many activities that are specifically designed to be physical exercise, such as mopping the floors, vacuuming, or gardening. These activities not only help keep our homes fresh, but they also keep us physically active , which can help reduce fatigue and improve our overall well-being.
