A minha alma está cansada: Reconhecer os sinais de uma alma cansada e corrigi-la

Sometimes, no matter how much you sleep or rest, you constantly feel tired. You feel chronically exhausted and just can’t help it. 

Bem, isso significa de facto it’s não o teu corpo, mas a vossa alma que está cansado. Unfortunately, most of us don’t pay as much attention to our souls as we do our physical health. 

It also needs nurturing and it also needs proper healing when it’s tired. It’s important to take care of your soul because it greatly affects your saúde mental. 

The first thing you have to do is to admit to yourself that there’s a problem, then motivate yourself to fix it to continue with your beautiful life as soon as possible. 

Coloque-se em frente ao espelho e diga a si próprio em voz alta, “A minha alma está cansado, mas I’ll find a way to fix it and I’ll never allow it to feel that cansaço again.”

Se o seu a alma sente tired, you cannot be happy and it won’t let you enjoy life to the fullest. Everything will exhaust you and you will feel listless all the time.  

Como é que sabemos se a nossa alma está cansada?

If you aren’t sure that you’re suffering from esgotamento da alma, aqui estão alguns sinais de aviso. 

1. Começa a evitar as pessoas à sua volta

Antes, estar com os teus amigos era a tua parte favorita do dia, então o que aconteceu agora? You don’t answer their calls and texts, or you use different excuses to reject their invitation to hang out. 

You become paranoid and don’t know who you can and cannot trust. You find yourself thinking that none of those people are your true friends. 

Pensa que estar sozinho o pode ajudar a lidar com as suas emoções de uma forma mais saudável e fácil. Mas as pessoas que lhe são próximas são as únicas que o podem ajudar. 

If you close yourself off from others, you’ll start suppressing your emotions. You may think that not talking about things that are bothering you or bottling your emotions will make them disappear. 

They won’t. Those unexpressed emotions will only negatively affect your mental health. Sooner or later, they will boil over and then you’ll have to deal with even worse consequences. 

2. Sente que ninguém o consegue compreender verdadeiramente

Sometimes, it just seems like you’re the only person in the world. You feel so alone because you think that no one understands what you’re feeling and going through.

You’re surrounded by family and so many friends who love you, but you feel that there is no one you can fully confide in. 

Also, you aren’t quite sure how you feel and you don’t know how to explain it to someone. You don’t feel comfortable in your own skin, but you don’t know how and why. 

You’re afraid of how they’ll react. You’re afraid that they might make fun of you or even think that you have some saúde mental problemas. 

That’s why you choose to avoid other people and to talk para o seu eu interior only. After all, you’re the person who always gets you and doesn’t ask questions. 

No entanto, deve sentir-se livre para se exprimir. As pessoas que o amam verdadeiramente compreendê-lo-ão, tentarão ajudá-lo e ficarão ao seu lado, aconteça o que acontecer. 

3. You never feel rested no matter how much you’ve slept

You decide to sleep on the weekend. And truly, you’ve spent all weekend in your pajamas. But it didn’t help; you woke up still tired as if you had never even slept. 

Ao fim de algum tempo, até começa a sentir algumas sintomas físicos por causa disso cansaço. Torna-se letárgico porque utiliza o seu tempo livre apenas para dormir e descansar. 

You’re under the impression that the dor física you’re feeling is caused by this cansaço and all you need is a good night’s rest.

You’re not aware of the fact that the pain doesn’t come from the cansaço de algum trabalho físico, na verdade vem da sua alma. 

It’s a vossa alma que is exhausted and you can’t heal it by sleeping or resting. You have to change your way of living in order to fix your alma cansada. 

4. You aren’t pleased with your life

If your soul is tired, it’s the sign that you aren’t happy with where you stand in life. You deve mudar algumas coisas. 

Pense no seu trabalho. É realmente o que quer fazer na vida ou está a fazê-lo apenas porque tem de o fazer? 

Have you fulfilled any of your goals in life? Those things you dreamed about when you were a kid – have you managed to achieve any of them? 

5. Sente algumas emoções intensas

You start experiencing some strong emotions – all because you’ve been suppressing them for too long. 

You don’t even know how to deal with them anymore. That’s also one of the reasons why you avoid people. You aren’t able to manage these intense emotions and are afraid of how others will look at you for it. 

6. A falta de motivação começa a afetar todos os aspectos da sua vida

You don’t have the desire to do anything. It’s started affecting all aspects of your life. 

Está tão desmotivado que até levantar-se da cama de manhã é demasiado para si. Descuida-se da casa, dos animais de estimação, dos amigos, da família e até de si próprio. 

You can’t focus on anything. Even your boss has realized that something is wrong with you because you aren’t working as well as before. 

7. Sofre alguns ataques de pânico ligeiros

You don’t feel comfortable around people anymore. Every social gathering can trigger a mild ataque de pânico para si. Também pode causar alguns doenças mentais como depressão ou ansiedade.

You become overwhelmed with emotions. You get confused. You don’t know what to do or say or how to behave. 

You are too nervous to be around too many people. Your hands shake, your palms sweat – you may even start hyperventilating. 

You shouldn’t worry. It’s also called social phobia or social anxiety disorder, and you can work to overcome it. 

8. Irradia energia negativa

Essas emoções intensas e condições mentais fazem-no exalar energia negativa. You’re not the one avoiding people anymore, now people are starting to avoid you. 

Ninguém precisa de energia negativa na vida. Sim, todos nós passamos por períodos difíceis, mas isso vem e vai, como tudo na vida. 

9. Falta-lhe amor-próprio

You’ve forgotten how important it is to ama-te a ti próprio. Essa falta de amor afecta a sua autoestima e auto-confiança. 

A grande relação consigo mesmo vem de amor-próprio and it’s the foundation for all other relationships in your life. It’s no wonder you think that no one else loves you. 

Tudo isso faz com que se desligue dos outros e da sua vida própria. Vive-se a vida apenas porque se tem de viver, sem quaisquer esperanças ou desejos para o futuro. 

Como recarregar a alma cansada?

Para corrigir o seu alma cansada, you just have to slow down a little bit and recharge it. And here is how you’ll do it.

1. Slow down…

Respire fundo. Tire um dia de folga do trabalho, das pessoas e de tudo o resto. 

Prepare yourself a relaxing bath and enjoy it. Pour yourself a glass of your favorite wine. Put on some relaxing music. Don’t think about anything. Relax your body, your mind, and your soul. 

Tente imaginar-se numa bela ilha deserta. Ouve o som calmante das ondas a baterem na costa? Ouve o belo som das gaivotas e outras aves costeiras a cantar? 

It’s the sound of how beautiful life truly is. You just have to slow down and remind yourself of it. You have to bring those beautiful sounds back into your life. 

2. O autocuidado é a prioridade número um

Sei que todos nós temos vidas ocupadas e stressantes. Por vezes, esquecemo-nos de reservar algum tempo para nós próprios. 

But you have to set out some “me time” in your busy schedule. You have to pay more attention to autocuidado. Aumentará a sua autoestima e melhorará a sua autoimagem. 

Estamos sempre com pressa e, por isso, ou comemos comida de plástico a caminho do trabalho ou esquecemo-nos de comer. É preciso mudar estes hábitos auto-destrutivos. Estes também têm muitos efeitos negativos na sua saúde. 

Make exercise a part of your daily routine. Run or walk every day. You’ll be surprised how it boosts your mood. 

Is there any sport you particularly like? Or maybe you’re into yoga? Find some physical activity you enjoy and start practicing it immediately. 

3. Chega de conversa fiada negativa

It’s time someone says to you that it’s enough with conversa interna negativa e auto-piedade. 

You are a beautiful human being who deserves nothing but the best. Don’t ever think any less of yourself. 

Tu és suficientemente bom. Tu vales muito. Nunca deixes que ninguém te faça duvidar disso. 

Lembre-se, a forma como se trata a si próprio é a forma como mostra que os outros o tratam. Se tiver uma má autoimagem e uma opinião negativa sobre si próprio, os outros olharão para si da mesma forma. 

4. Melhora o teu humor fazendo pequenas coisas de que gostas

Vive um pouco. Faça algumas coisas que lhe tragam alegria. Telefona a algumas pessoas de quem gostas e convida-as a virem cá a casa ou a saírem com elas. 

If traveling is your thing, then pick a destination and go. Don’t overthink it. Pack a bag, call your boss, and leave. 

We all feel good when we help others. There are many places where you can volunteer. Not only will it be great for improving your mood, but you’ll also be doing a good deed. 

Talvez sempre tenha querido aprender a falar uma língua estrangeira ou a tocar guitarra, mas nunca conseguiu arranjar tempo. Bem, agora é a altura perfeita para fazer isso mesmo. 

5. Melhorar o seu bem-estar mental

Meditar. It’s great for your mental bem-estar – it’s proven that meditation reduces stress. And to be honest, we all need something to lighten the load. 

Dance and sing around the house. Crank up the music while you’re doing the housework. Sing while you’re cooking. Ooze only energia positiva. 

Maybe you still aren’t ready to talk with someone about how you feel, but there is a solution for that as well. Buy yourself a furry friend – you have no clue how happy a little fluffball can make you. 

6. Contactar o seu ente querido

Sooner or later, you’ll have to talk with someone – and sooner is better. Your friends know you best and they can give you the right advice to ajudá-lo a corrigir o seu alma cansada. 

First, you’ll need to apologize for avoiding them for so long, then you’ll have to explain why you did it. 

Don’t be afraid. Those people love you the most and will understand you for sure. They would do anything to make you feel better. 

7. Eliminar as pessoas tóxicas da sua vida

Algumas pessoas simplesmente partilham apenas energia negativa. Estes são os que tem de eliminar da sua vida, ou pelo menos evitá-los o mais possível. 

These people are toxic and can’t bear the fact that someone else is happy. They try to do anything just to drain your energy and make you as miserable as they are. 

You don’t need that kind of energy around yourself, especially now when you’re trying to heal your soul. 

Tens de parar de perder o teu precioso tempo com pessoas que só te arrastam para baixo!

8. Rodeie-se apenas de amor e positividade

Surround yourself only with people who honestly love you and want the best for you – those who bring out the best in you. It’ll help to bring more energia positiva na sua vida. 

Smile more, worry less. Be more grateful and optimistic. Look at life through your rose-colored glasses again. You’ll see how it’ll change your entire life. 

9. Live in the present moment…

Live now, at this precise moment. Don’t worry about the future too much because you never know what can happen next. 

Preocupar-se excessivamente com o futuro pode distraí-lo da sua vida atual.

You won’t be able to think clearly about some important things that are happening right now in your life and it is going to prevent you from being fully invested in what you’re doing. 

10. …but don’t forget your dreams and goals for the future

While you shouldn’t stress too much about the future, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have any plans for the future. 

Os seus sonhos e objectivos para o futuro definem-no de alguma forma and it’s good to have something to work for. They are your biggest motivators in life. 

You’ll see how satisfied you’ll feel every time you achieve one of those goals. It’ll give peace to your mind and soul. 

11. Reiniciar-se

Sometimes it’s not enough to recharge yourself in order to bring peace to your alma cansada. Por vezes, é preciso fazer um reset total e começar de novo. 

This is needed when you shut yourself down completely and bottle up your emotions for so long, you just can’t continue living in this way. 

This takes time; you’ll have to be patient. You’ll have to take it day by day. You’ll need to relearn everything from the beginning. 

The most important thing for you to learn is to deal with your emotions in a healthier way. It’ll help your soul and protect it from getting tired ever again. 

You have to do whatever it takes to fix your exhausted soul. Now, you have to promise me that and say it out loud, “A minha alma is tired and I’m empty inside, but I am going to fix it!” 

I believe you and I believe IN you. You’ll get over this sooner than you think.
