When we have experienced prolonged periods of intense mental or emotional stress, our souls frequently enter a state of profound slumber that, due to its symptoms, might resemble depression.
And despite our best efforts to cheer ourselves up by focusing on the good and changing our attitude, we will probably still feel depressed and worn out.
This occurs because, like injured bones that require time to mend, our souls require time to do the same. We should handle soul mending with the same seriousness as physical harm because although though our soul cannot be seen, it is just as significant as the vessel in which it is held.
Neglecting the warning indications that our energy is running low can have extremely negative effects, including persistent anxiety, mental health problems, and depression.
Here are 10 signs that your soul is exhausted and depleted of energy.
- All you want to do during the day is relax and lie down. You regularly take naps, and occasionally it’s hard for you to wake up and leave bed. You wake up in the middle of the night feeling restless because your dreams and nightmares are so vivid and realistic.
- You get generalized bodily aches. You might have tension, vertigo, nausea, headaches, and stomachaches for no apparent cause. Even if you know there is nothing wrong with you and that you should feel better, you are powerless to change your situation.
- You are unsure of how to reply when someone asks you what’s wrong since you yourself are unsure of how you feel. Although you can’t explain why you feel that way or, more crucially, why you can’t escape that energy, you are aware that something intricate and profound is going on inside of you.
- Your mind and body are frequently out of sync, which leaves you feeling fragmented and confused. You frequently forget things and have a sense of loss and non-belonging in this world.
- Your feelings are all more intense.
- You experience intense emotion, and you can start sobbing for no apparent reason. You frequently have the feeling that your heart is about to break one second and erupt in love the next. This explains why you fear sharing your feelings and being vulnerable.
- You frequently feel anxious or suffer from moderate panic episodes.
- Even when you are with other people, you experience extreme loneliness. You begin to doubt the individuals you are surrounded by and whom you may trust because you always feel on the defensive.
- Despite generally being a very sympathetic, forgiving, and kind person, you find yourself thinking things that are bitter, envious, angry, or resentful about everything that occurs around you.
- Your body seems frail, and you become tired just from moving. You lack energy and find that coming to the gym and working out is no longer enjoyable for you because it has turned into hard labor.
- You frequently experience fear and apprehension about the future.
Sometimes you’re so exhausted and empty that you simply want to pack up and start over that you don’t like doing the things you used to enjoy.
This is your last chance to put yourself first and look after your soul if you are feeling this way. Take all the rest you require. Leave your phone at home and indulge in some of your favorite activities.
Spend more time with the people you care about most, meditate, take a hot bath, and listen to your favorite music.
Avoid thinking or talking negatively about yourself. Stop putting yourself down or condemning yourself. Exercise energy balance.
You can eliminate everything in your life that makes you feel exhausted and weak and replace it with good ideas and experiences that shine with beauty and positive energy when you can really pay attention to what your soul craves.
