A sign you might not be as healthy as you think is feeling constantly tired without a clear reason. This isn't just the normal tiredness from a busy day but a deep, lingering exhaustion that doesn't go away with rest. It's like your body is sending you a message that something's off, even if everything else seems fine on the surface.
Alienating yourself from people and activities that bring you joy can be a sign of a more serious issue.

It's good to take a basic self-inventory of your physical and mental health every week. Have you been eating, sleeping, showering, and getting exercise in your usual patterns?
If you see any dramatic changes in daily habits or energy levels, you may have an underlying health issue, either physically or mentally. Depression, in particular, can sneak up on you and wreak havoc on eating, sleeping, and grooming habits.
This can be indicative of type II diabetes. It can also point toward gastrointestinal problems. Depending on the nature of the change, medical professionals will be able to guide you in the right direction and it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible.

You tell yourself you're more than ready and able to handle any of these issues. Excitement and opportunity fill your atmosphere. You start to believe your childhood dreams really will materialize.
It is happening. Now. Fast. And you've got this, right? However, you have no idea how much stress these life events will cause you by themselves, and when they happen in combination.
You're probably thinking, "Nope, this isn't stressful to me. This is life. And I've got it." Trust me. Or humor me. Or stay out of curiosity. But you need to deal with stress and manage it.
Every successful person needs to understand the breaking point of their stress. You cannot maintain success when stress gets the better of you. And stress will destroy you and your most valuable relationships if not understood.
So you can weigh the toll stress takes on you and your relationship. And, equally as important, you'll know how to handle it when healthy relationships break down from the damaging effects of stress.

We can do everything right about our health and still have issues arise. The signs of a slip in health can be small, but they are critical to catching a health-related issue before it becomes a significant risk factor.
The more you tune into your body, the more in tune your body will be. Keep taking good care of yourself, the world needs you.
