If you are new here, thank you so much for stopping by and consider subscribing so that you don't miss out on any of the video content. Being tired seems to be an urban epidemic. 9 out of 10 of us are tired most of the time. The reasons are many. We work long hours, the stress is more. We are trying to get done so much in a day and to add to all this, we all have social and family obligations. But there is no point in surviving each day, right? Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed one day at a time. So in this video, I'm going to share with you a few ideas so that you can feel less tired and have much more energy in 2018. It sounds funny that I'm telling you to cut back on mobile phones and social media right here on YouTube. But research has shown that an average person checks his phone 3,000 times a day. 3,000 times. That's a lot. And most of the times, it is for things that are totally unnecessary. Think of all the energy and mental space that is being wasted. So cut back on the use of mobile phones and social media. Personally, one of the things that I'm trying to do is to stay away from my phone at least an hour before I go to sleep. This ensures that there are lesser distractions, which means better sleep, which equals to more energy. News host, where his guest, this lady, Manush Somuridhi, spoke about how boredom can lead to brilliance. And I will leave a link for that in the description box below. You guys can check it out. Basically, what she was saying is that we don't have to constantly keep doing something. Once in a day, it is necessary to give your brain a brain and to just do nothing. For example, on your commute back from work, instead of checking your news feed or instead of, you know, replying to mails, just take the time to process everything that has happened with you in the day. This way, by the time you get back home, you are more relaxed, you don't have the burden of work and you can truly spend some quality time with your family. So if you feel tired and low on energy, take a look at the food that you are eating. A simple rule of thumb is to eat less processed food. Basically, what it means is to eat less things which are coming out of a packet or coming out of a can and to eat more things which are cooked at home and in its natural form. This will make a big difference in your energy level. And another small tip is to not forget the edge to go. Being dehydrated can really drain you and make you feel low on energy. So make sure that you drink enough water throughout the day. One of the biggest energy drainers especially for me is overthinking. I tend to overthink about people and situations and I obsess about things that happened in the past and possibilities in the future. But this is a big drain of my energy and honestly this energy is better utilized somewhere else. So this is one of the things that I want to stop doing in 2018 to have more energy. And I have realized that there are too many simple things that I need to do. Number one, believe in the inherent good nature of people and just trust them and believe that whatever they do or say is not meant to harm you or anybody else. And number two, accept life and its situation as and when it comes because we anyway don't have much control over it. So guys these were my ideas to have more energy in the new year.
