Certain signals trigger the advent of this crisis that one should be able to read. Here we go with five signals that you shouldn’t ignore:

• Feeling sleepy untimely and out of steam

You always feel as if you haven’t had a good night’s sleep and need caffeine to get you charged. As a contrast, you may also feel highly charged and jumpy which as bad. These two extreme signs indicate your emotional imbalance which you need to address.

• Mood Swings

Mood swings are often associated with emotional imbalance.  One moment you are in great spirits and the next you are doomed to extreme disappointment.  Small things upset you which may indicate abnormal mental health. Flaring up for minor reasons and slipping into depression for equally insignificant causes are reasons enough you should see a therapist.

The fire of excitement seems to get lost from your life. Things that used to keep you absorbed have lost their charm. You may be heading into a phase of depression. Optimism seems to be a thing of past and what all appears before you seem to be devoid of hope.  Taking a rejuvenation program in a wellness retreat may bring zeal and purpose in your life boosting your emotional and physical health.
