Hi Beets
Mark offers great advice regarding the small stepping stones and being open to inspiration and guidance from others. Personally, when I have a really strong sense of being completely lost and just can't find my way, I look for good guides. Suppose you could say it's like asking for directions in unknown territory.
Wondering whether you know why you've become so exhausted. Any ideas or clues? As an intuitive person, if you've lost your ability to feel, see or hear, a lack of energy can often be the culprit. So, if gut instinct or that feeling that dictates 'Yep, that's the way' isn't there, it can feel like a matter of 'Where's my sat nav gone?'. If you're a bit of a visionary and through your imagination everything suddenly appears as a blank screen in your mind, it can be so frustrating when all you see is nothing. If you're someone who can normally tap into inner dialogue that sounds a little like 'You have got to do that' or 'Don't do it whatever you do', can feel like you've lost your hearing in a way. All can be really solid and reliable forms of guidance. Most people I know who rely on such forms will say they lose their mojo when they're exhausted or their energy levels are significantly low. Nothing works in 'flat battery' mode.
Too many things to list regarding low energy, so will just touch on a handful
- Some physical/chemical reasons: B12 or iron deficiency, thyroid related issues, hormone imbalances etc. Sleep related deficiencies such as insomnia, sleep apnea etc. Deficiencies that can relate to hydro power (lack of water consumption), solar power (lack of sun), kinetic energy (lack of exercise) and the list goes on
- Some mental reasons: Too many draining people, giving too much of your energy to helping others, an uninspiring/depressing environment, too much of the wrong kind of inner dialogue for one reason or another, the need to break through a mental block/barrier that's come up (outdated mental programs/belief systems), an exhausting level of hyper thinking/mental processing etc
- Some soulful reasons: If it's our energy that brings us the greatest joy and a sense of flow, I've found focusing or meditating on the lack of everything can become depressing. Hard to achieve at times but I find when I get like this I'm led to meditate in a specific kind of way. I sit and quiet my mind (become thoughtless), ask the question I need an answer to and then open my mind to whatever it is that needs to come to mind. Kinda has a day dreamy feel to it. What may come to mind for me is stuff like 'You're not moving enough' or 'It can't hurt to go and get blood tests done' or 'You need to start taking better care of yourself, as opposed to everyone else'. I know it sounds strange but it works for me.
If you're someone who's a real feeler, you'll be able to easily feel a lack of energy. So, it's not as though you've lost you're ability, it's still telling you something. Figuring out what kind of energy's lacking in any or all of those 3 categories can take a heck of a lot of detective work at times, that's for sure. Btw, not always easy to feel the lead up to a significant lack of energy but you can definitely feel the tipping point.
In flat battery mode, 'being in charge' takes on a whole new meaning. 'How to charge up?' becomes the question.
