Exhaustion
Exhaustion is a state of strongly diminished physical and emotional strength. The causes are manifold – from overload and lack of sleep to illnesses. At the Kyborg Institute we additionally regard the theme on a soul-related level, expressly as a personal, worldview-based view.
Our reading
In our reading, the pleasure that we can feel hangs closely together with the available life energy. Exhaustion we understand as a signal that this energy is waning – a spur to look at one’s own way of life: what drains? What does good? Where may something change? This is a compassionate suggestion, no claim about causes and no attribution of guilt.
What does that mean in practice?
- Have persistent or strong exhaustion clarified by a doctor – treatable causes can lie behind it (e.g. anaemia, thyroid, depressive mood).
- Provide for enough sleep, recovery and balance.
- Ask oneself what in life is costing especially much strength right now – and where relief is possible.
