10 ways to prevent you from being cranky and tired

June 29, 2014 By Shaz Fisher 1 Comment

Depositphotos_11215317_xsWe all get cranky and tired and why wouldn’t we – with busy lives day in and day out. The whole purpose of our existence is relationships; with ourselves and of course others. Therefore, it is worth trying our best when times are tough.

Here are 10 ways that could help if: you got home from work and the house was a mess, dinner needed to be cooked, homework had to be completed, sport training attended, squabbling to sort out, phone call to answer, clothes washing to be done, bed times adhered to, etc.

1.  Take a deep breath before speaking (no matter what you hear or see or feel or sense).

2.  Tell yourself to speak calmly and no one means to upset you.

3.  Think of a time when the person, you are now cranky with, did something wonderful.

4.  Say the matter can be dealt with at a later time.

5.  Sit down for a minute and stop what you are doing.

6.  Remember people have feelings and we must treat others how we want to be treated.

7.  Say you are not repeating yourself rather than getting cranky at the same thing being asked twice or several times.

8. Stick to your consequences regarding behaviour management. Ask children to make good choices and tell them their behaviour is negative – not them.

9.  Ask for help to tackle the night time chaos.

10. Be grateful everyone is at home and safe. Remember to praise where possible.

    This story reminded me of how I finally healed my insomnia after years of agony.

    My life used to be miserable. I lied awake for hours, was too tired to work properly, had no energy for social activities, and wondered if I would have to spend the rest of my life miserable and exhausted.

    Doctors prescribed pills to knock me out, but I would wake up even more tired than when I went to bed. I would go through my days groggy and in a haze.

    In fact, I felt like I was drunk all the time. One day I couldn’t even remember how many pills I had taken. I ended up taking too many and wound up unconscious in the emergency room.

    I knew that there had to be another way. I searched long and hard and finally came across some simple natural remedies that finally got rid of my insomnia for good…to the amazement of my doctors.

    In fact, you might want to check out this article, it really helped me a lot:
