Fatigue has become a chronic condition for many in today’s world. The reasons may be varied but I believe that a primary reason is the loss of fascination and purpose with our lives. In our jobs, others dictate what we are to do. Much of technology and our addictions numb our minds rather than stimulate them, resulting in a feeling of boredom.
Both work and technology are important parts of our lives, and have the potential to enrich them greatly. However, when they veer away from what we consider to be truly meaningful, and, in that case, do them excessively so we have little or no time to spend on our heartfelt purpose, fatigue sets in. As this month’s wonderful Jambo School Blog states, by developing a sense of fascination and purpose in your life and increasing your time with those, energy infiltrates your being and the joy of living returns.
