In France, a documentary film it triumphs by echoing a problem with which a large part of the world’s population identifies. Title, I’m tired (“I’m tired” translated into Spanish) is already a faithful portrait of our days. Now when you ask “how are you?” the usual thing is that they answer you “tired”. Because?

Lucia Sanchez, director of the documentary, launched into making this content in view of the fact that everyone, with different jobs and different personal situations, reported the same exhaustion. He wanted to find out what makes us all tired? and what are we following? Obviously, it is not the same to be fatigued by a specific effort, than to feel exhausted for no apparent reason. That is why he asks Hélène L’Heuillet, a psychoanalyst, to identify the cause of this fatigue sine the. “What creates the feeling of exhaustion is the fact that to be deprived of one’s own temporalityof subjective time itself”, he explains.

why are we always tired

In view of the fact that the worker, like the reporter, the janitor, the shop assistant or the engineer have the same type of pathology, the exhaustion, it is clear that there is a common aspect that unites such diverse people. cannot be exclusively workloadIn addition, the jobs are very different and in some cases it is physical and in others mental. In the documentary it is not clear if the different profiles that appear have a regular and restful sleep. We guess that the answer is not satisfactory, as it happens with any social X-ray. People sleep bad. But the director does not look there either because, as in the case of work, it is a matter that has always existed. So the cause of that fatigue must be relatively new.

Time, as the philosopher says, hides the key. More specifically, the overload that we impose on ourselves in time. We are on the way to turning the expression free time into a utopia. Digitization, which originally came into our lives to facilitate many tasks, has brought with it the impossibility of disconnection. In many cases, we have become alienated both for work and leisure reasons and we no longer know what it is to “waste” time lying around, wandering aimlessly or breathing in the open air. We’ve lost control of our time and we need to get it back if we want to stop being tired all the time.

8 gestures to increase energy

Overwhelmed by a fast-paced life, we can now take a little break if we want to preserve our energy.

  • Is essential feed us appropriately, not only because we put aside pre-cooked food and junk (whose saving in time is unparalleled with the damage it causes to our body), but because by dedicating ourselves to organic food we will be forced to stop and allocate a bit of time in the kitchen that allows us to disconnect from other issues that saturate us.
  • Respect the routine dream, obviously, will be paramount. Have an early dinner, avoid screens, dim the lights, do some activity that relaxes you and induces rest… Nothing you don’t know.
  • stop and ask yourself, is it really necessary? You will probably end up prioritizing your health when you see that much of the overload that you have imposed on yourself was not essential.
  • The simplest, and at the same time most difficult, is respect your times of nothing. Nothing that you can fill with undervalued matters or leave empty so that your mind and body get lost in airplane mode for a little while. Doesn’t it happen to you when you travel by plane that you almost appreciate that time because it forces you to literally stop everything?
  • Practice mindfulness It will help you focus on the present, listen to yourself and see your needs. Spend a few minutes a day, it will be like a physical and mental cleanse to recharge your batteries. Doing it in the middle of the day will give you a push so you don’t show tiredness.
  • disconnect digitally. Forget regarding the mobile, the tablet and the computer as much as possible. It is a most comforting experience that allows you to be the owner of your time.
  • forget regarding multitask. The less things, the less worries, the more space for your mind to rest and the less risk of collapse and fatigue.
  • Do not fill your schedule. Learn to say no, to postpone and/or delegate and dedicate the necessary space for each thing. When we have a moment of leisure, we tend to want to do everything that we cannot do during our routine, but that does not allow us to rest and we end up being more exhausted.
