Why You're Always Tired (And How To Fix It) 

Check out my new book Energize (Book of the Year 2023 within the Wellness and Wellbeing category at The Business Book Awards) here: getenergizebook.com/

Part of my low energy is spending too much time alone. I’m divorced, no children, both parents deceased and an incredibly small circle of friends. I work shifts so sleep deprivation is the norm. I’m exhausted. Honestly, I can’t see a way out. I’ll find it but it’s a very painful journey to enlightenment.

I think about the title of your book every day. It’s everything. EVERYTHING. We can’t move, nor enjoy, nor achieve, without massive sustained grit and energy. Being exhausted you just can’t grow or do anything at all.

On a scale from 1 to 10, my energy level is a 5 ... mostly a 4.5. Currently holding down two jobs and 55-58 hours a week of work.

My energy level is probably a 6-8 depending on how good my sleep is. I love the various types of energy being mentioned here.

Probably 2! Struggling with unemployment right now!

All things I already knew - yet, needed to hear because we know it’s intrinsically right. Thank you for putting this message out there, it’s much needed 🙏

I regularly wake up on this side of the grass each day with an energy level of at least 8. I can amp it up when I cycle and hit the gym. Then, my friend, I’m a 10. I’m a coach as well, and I totally agree, prioritize your health. Sleep is a priority.

Again you've helped me continue to live because @ 68 years old and HIV positive African American Gay male I was given two years to live many decades ago! Be Blessed 🙏🕯️

My energy level is about 4, caregiving elderly parents, dealing with side hustles, household chores, clients that are complex, is tough, but i appreciate this insight, been working on my nutritions - such as getting greens and also having less screentime. Thank you for this video.

Great video Simon. Perfectly said, this video was very helpful to me today. Looking forward to seeing your future posts. I'm saving this video. ❤

Right now my energy level is 7. I have low iron, taking supplements to increase it. I like hearing about the ways of improving energy and will have a look at your book as well.

2 of 10. Can barely get work done. Poor sleep- go to work at varing hours, bad diet- eats what's available before and after work not much choice, mental energy gone- I don't have the remaining time or energy to do anything for filling. In a cycle of work -> sleep, (sometimes play a video game).

Hi, Simon, wow, you really put together aspects of life in a holistic way. I need to read your book… reading is, what saves me most. I never thought about my levels🤔… here you are: Usually I wake up on a level 2. Tea and fruit level me up to 3, some wise sentences from a book or a video to 4 and a shower with cold finish followed by a daily walk around the nice ponds in the neighborhood, taking pictures from the nature, to 5. If the sun is shining I put out my garden chair, a little robin visits me, I have more tea and a sandwich, a good book, family chats : 6, decide what to harvest for my dinner, salad leaves, beans, mulberries, herbs at this time, go inside, prepare food, while it’s cooking doing some house work: 7, in the evening I like to watch TV, knitting or crocheting, mostly for babies around: 8. on rainy days I like to play guitar, sing or paint. I would like to wake up with a 8… but so far I’m happy I’ve the energy to 'crawl up the ladder 🪜' from 2 to 8 most of the days. The daily walk is very important. Dave from 'WalkingisfFtness' is my biggest motivator. It’s hard to deal with a depression with no really understanding people around, but I take it step by step. There are days I have to remind myself about the steps and I can only take one or two, but there’s always another and better day after. I had to accept help from a doctor and medication, which took me from level zero to two, a level where I can start to move and help myself. Thank you for your supporting work and for making me think and sort through my levels. Love from Germany, Monika❣

school never teaches us all these things.......

Definitely saving this to listen to again and again. Thank you for the tips...

It's a holistic approach and when you focus on yourself, you'll feel like a superhuman. Dare to be exceptional. Dare to be Uncommon!

Twins at 3yrs old has brought me to new highs and new lows in my life, so tired. Love the content, i feel everything you mention i know already but just too blind or "busy" to see it. Keep it coming please and ill buy the book right away, just need to find the time to read it😂😂😂

Thank you Simon ❤

❤ thanks for this quality video. Sleep is key and these framework is fantastic 👌

It depends on my quality and amount of sleep, vegetables and fish, and excitement/motivation. My energy is like a stock graph.

I was keep on checking on youtube to only your next video after watching all your previous videds. Thanks, and stay blessed

Im never exhausted and burnt out even after a few nights of 2 hours of sleep while mourning my favorite person.

Thankyou 8.7.2024 🙏❤️🇹🇭

Thank you for sharing your brilliant thoughts with us, and I want to contribute some additional ideas regarding the underlying causes of being burned out. In my opinion, shouldering financial burdens in modern society, where living expenses are constantly increasing, seems to be the root cause of prolonged tiredness for many people. This is particularly true for young individuals and those from economically disadvantaged areas who struggle to make ends meet due to the challenges of securing high-paying jobs in a highly competitive job market. As a result, they might have to work overtime consistently to supplement their income and afford necessities, which can lead to a lack of sufficient rest, as you mentioned in the video. Additionally, some individuals are overwhelmed with workload, making it difficult to strike a healthy work-life balance. These people might not spend enough time hitting the gym or doing subtle physical activities, which, in turn, might result in tiredness. While some of you may disagree with my perspective and view it as an excuse for not being talented enough to secure a high-paying job or being too lazy to exercise regularly, it's important to recognize that many individuals are unable to live the life they desire due to these challenges.

Man I'm tired of being tired. I'm 28 and feel like I'm 80 lol.

I have found I go off to sleep better at night by concentrate on my breathing and I seem to fall asleep much quicker.

I am personally tired because of lack of sleep. Thats it. I have already done medical exams and tests. Stress of course too but mostly lack of sleep. I only sleep 3-4 hours lately and its bad quality sleep! I want to fix it.

3 ready to take my 2nd nap

Energy: 3

Seems like I start the day with a 5 and goes down from there as the day progresses. Hate it.

Level 4 24/7, they don't tell you this after 40.😢...I eat good,sleep 7/8 hours ,❤❤❤🤷‍♂️exercise all that. Have no idea

For something that we can't control. Take a nap!

Great message! I have been constantly fatigued for a couple of months now. Level 3ish. Could it be because of some sort of underlying health issue I am not aware of?

5 on most days

What if your tired feeling is from type 2 diabetes?

I waited for the 'How to fix it' part. I was hoping for some kind of step-by-step advice, or some kind of guidance. Now I'm disappointed.

Are you related with Wang?

Energy level is a full 10! My life: self employed, get up everyday at 4.30am, one cup of coffee, meditation, vegetarian/vegan diet. In bed by 9pm sleep like a baby. Drink only water, never soda. Single by choice after a horrible narcisstic abusive marriage. Very small circle of friends. Working through my traumas daily and I live in nature. I’m 59 and people think I look like mid 40s. I walk daily and never use sunscreen. Never sick, in very good health. Everything has changed after I have left the marriage. Wishing everyone a healthy and happy life.
