What was I doing to be this tire? My body was tired and I needed to listen to what it was saying to me. We use terms like exhaustion, weakness and fatigue to describe different levels of being tired. The important thing to understand is that each of these terms are symptoms. Symptoms of some other cause that is making you feel this way.

Sleep alone can cause many terrible health issues, including major fatigue and exhaustion. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you sleeping well? Are you sleeping well on a regular basis? If you dont rest or sleep your body will not have the opportunity to heal, repair itself or energize itself from the cellular level on up to being able to function. Nutrition. Its easy to want to skimp on eating when our lives get busier and harder. We must make sure that we are replacing important nutrients and calories that our bodies are using. This is true on a daily basis, if you do not eat well,

you will feel fatigued and exhausted. Good nutrients allow for energy production and feeling well. Vitamin and mineral supplementation. With our busy lives and the frequent opportunities to not eat properly, its important that you supplement your body with a good healthy multi-vitamin. We use up many essentials everyday that must be replaced in order to keep our energy up. Vitamins are important particularly if you are feeling fatigued. Hydration. Hydration is a most important key in the fatigue equation. Make sure you are staying hydrated with straight-up water. Follow everything you drink with an equal portion of water, its an easy way to make sure you are getting enough. and by the way, I feel much better.

We had the time between the usual other chores and the corral was getting in rough shape. Since it was pretty cold, we wore heavy coats and gloves, earflaps, and the usual silk neckerchiefs around our necks. Mine was longer than the standard ones, which wrap around your neck twice, with just enough left to tie a square knot leaving the ends a couple inches or so in length. It wasnt long enough

I had a cold and was coughing quite a bit. In the middle of a coughing spell, the wind whipped one end of my silk scarf over my mouth. I sucked in a big breath and the end of the silk wildrag. I couldnt get enough air to breath, holler or squeak. Lad was trimming the end of a pole with a chain saw, so he wouldnt have been able to hear me anyway. I could just imagine the headlines of the local paper, Local man chokes on his own scarf. It struck me funny as I was trying to pull it out of my throat. All of the hands on the

ranch were CPR certified and had just finished the course. I dont think Lad would be good at CPR. He looked up at me, pulling silk out of my trachea and began chuckling. I could hear his laughter over the sound of the chainsaw. The more he laughed the harder he squeezed the gas feed and the louder the motor got. I got the neckerchief out of my throat okay and we both had a good laugh at the situation, but I knew Id better tell the story to the other cowboys first, or he would make it even more embarrassing.
