Humans move far less today than any other time in history. Before the Agricultural Revolution, humans took an estimated 50,000 steps per day. Once we began farming and settled, that number dropped to approximately 20,000. Today, the average American takes 5,000 steps.

Movement is one of our most primal necessities and its neglection affects us. On the positive side, it's also something we can do to shift us out of the state we're in.

In fact, exercise may be the single best way to change how we're feeling.

Use Movement to Shift from Fatigue

Fatigue can be debilitating.

Although it may seem counterintuitive, movement can be one of the best way to eradicate it.

Especially when you combine it with other elements like nature, mindfulness, endurance, or skill.

If you're already exhausted from physical effort, you may want to try sleep or nourishment instead (below).

Go for an outdoor stroll.

Take a dog for a run.

Climb a mountain.

Even if you can't take advantage of nature or it's miserable out, you can combine movement with mindfulness.

Try martial arts.

Take a yoga class.

Enjoy a guided walking meditation.

Not really in the mood for mindfulness?

How about you test your resolve.

Give cross-fit a try.

Take a fitness bootcamp class.

Push yourself to the limit at the gym.

Don't want to go hard?

That's fine, go technical.

Whether it's doing something you're skilled at, or learning a new skill, the movement will shift your state.

Try slacklining.

Go rock climbing.

Ski, snowboard, surf, skate, rollerblade.

Play Ping-Pong, shoot hoops, play golf.

In other words, MOVE your body.

Fatigue can't remain in a body that is fully engaged until you physically exhaust it -- and unless you're exhausted from physical movement, it may be the antidote you need.

Work. It. Out.

We've always known sleep is important but now we're really starting to understand it's pertinent for optimal health.

In addition, we now realize even how much we've slept can determine our perspective about life, ourselves, and impacts our happiness levels.

We can also use sleep as a tool for optimal performance and a way to shift states.
