Ask Dali Mama

DEAR DALI MAMA:
Lately I’ve been so tired and don’t feel like doing anything. What should I do?

–Listless (United States)

DEAR LISTLESS:
Give yourself a little time to feel this way but be sure to eat healthily and at least go for a short leisurely walk each day. Also, try to avoid excess processed foods and sugar as this can cause feelings of tiredness.

If it continues for more than a couple weeks, see your doctor and also a counselor. You could be experiencing depression.

Sometimes, though, we need a little time every now and again to do nothing and to go within. This may look like depression from an outside perspective, but what is sometimes happening is that we are disengaging from the outside world in order to let go of old templates and mine the best parts of ourselves from the inside out.

Wishing you the best.
