Whether your goal is to change jobs, get fit, or be happier; if your energy is low you'll significantly diminish the likelihood of success.
If you're desperate for change but you simply just don't have the energy to get to it; you may want to spend the next few months getting yourself into a "fit for change" state.
-There's nothing more effective at helping your body to recover than sleep. The amount of sleep you require is very individual. If you feel dragged down you should be aiming for at least 8 hours per night. You're pre-midnight hours are vital, so get to be early.
Remember to gauge the amount of sleep you need by how you feel. Don't let other people be your guide; you have to find out what your needs are.
-Clean up your nutrition. I have plenty of posts here at betterme that cover this subject. Nutrition doesn't have to be complicated. Eat nutritious food that's as close to its most natural state as possible. Lots of fruits and vegetables will help your body to repair and detoxify which will help build your energy. Stay away from processed foods as much as you can.
-When you're feeling dragged down, moderate exercise can help to restore some of your energy. This is not the time for overly ambitious resolutions to get fit. Remember, you're getting fit for change. You can start to actualize your fitness goals once you get your energy back. For now, walk outdoors, take a dance class, or commit to using stairs more often. Just try to expose your body to a bit more physical activity and you'll notice it's quite energising.
Sleep, eat healthy, and start moving more. That's a resolution that'll eventually bring your other goals into plain view.
