My New Office
I’ve been recovering from Adrenal Fatigue seemingly forever. I’ve changed my lifestyle, got rid of stress, do easy exercises, eat healthy, and yet, I’ve not been able to conquer it.
Last week, I learned that sitting at my computer for hours a day is stressful for my body. I turned my computer off, took a stroll around the lake, and designated a swing as my new office.
My new office.
My neighbors.
This is me relaxing while hard at work.
For the last week, I’ve spent very little time on my computer and am feeling much better. I wish I’d known this at the beginning of summer I’d have a great tan by now.
But cooler weather has arrived therefore, I’ve moved my office to my couch. My other office is at the gym were I alternate between exercising and writing.
Do you have a relaxing or special place to work?
Hi Phyllis
Don’t forget to also use supplements for adrenal fatigue
A good b Complex and fish oil especially –
And a cal/mag zinc and d3 Mineral blend will change your life –
I have seen a few folks heal from adrenal fatigue and it sounds like you already have a lot of stuff you did to help it!
–
And consider eating keto because the body can’t keep taking the surge of carbs !
–
One last thing to consider-
A few minutes of muscle stress on the body can pull out the fatigue –
Do a plank up against the wall
–
Lift some heavy weights (or cans) for two minutes and see how it floods the body with relief!
The body needs the stress to pull out your stress
Thanks Prior, for the advice. And you’re correct, I have done a lot of life changes to get better. It’s encouraging to hear that others have been healed. Thanks again.
Hi Phyllis – I think most writers have to deal with challenges to sitting a lot – or being on a device a little more than others – and so whew – whatever we can do to maintain our health should be shared –
thanks and hope your month is going well
I agree us authors need to get up and enjoy the great outdoors. Thanks for the well wishes.
Well I have some writing to do and I keep putting it off – don’t feel like sitting there right now – I tried standing desks and I have two of those floating boards to stand on – but sitting works best for me – I just need to get in the groove
I prefer sitting.
Would setting goals help encourage you or having someone to be accountable to?
Thanks Phyllis – I do use a timer like my spouse does – when it goes off – I get up and make tea or go outside and take my shoes off to “ground” with the earth and it helps so much –
Thanks agai
I like “take my shoes off to “ground” with the earth”.
Thank you Phyllis ☀️😊
Hi I saw your photos on flight, but I couldn’t leave a comment. My computer at fault, not yours. Here’s my comment:
Hi. Loved your photos. My favorite is sunning on the beach only because that’s where I’d like to be right now.
Listened the “Flight of the Bumblebee”. That’s some fast fingers. Ha.
Thanks for the comment here, Phyllis – and other folks have had a challenge leaving comments at times so it could be my blog
Either way – I appreciate your feedback and hope your month of December is going well

Also–/ hope you get some beach time
I saw your post of your mountain hike. My computer is old and would not let me post a comment. Therefore, here is my comment, “Looks like a fun walk thanks for sharing. I used to live near the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I miss those hikes and the majestic views.”
We used to live in Colorado too! And glad I made it to the mountains “enough” times when we lived there – and you are right – majestic views!
Also – thanks for reading my post and leaving a comment here!
Happy writing Phyllis
Happy writing to you too.
I feel for you, truly. When I started my blog in 2012 I had been diagnosed with ME/CFS. But I have since recovered (in 2015 after 13 yrs) and I’m told there is no cure for ME it couldn’t have been that. I found kicking all food additives and gluten & sugar/sugar subs worked wonders in the end….but that only after 3 yrs of almost constant meditation.
My place to work is my desk with a view of my garden. I often stop to watch the small birds feed, or the butterflies that flit by.
Praise God for your healing. So glad the doctors were wrong. My problem is that most doctors don’t believe in Adrenal Fatigue. Good thing I like to read. I’ve found doctors who not only believe but have written books that have been a great help toward my recovery.
Wish your recovery to continue… 😊
Thank you for the well wishes. 😌
