Customer Review: Relief in Phoenix
Bought this for my new Sonata, and it does make a difference in the desert heat. I would say it keeps my car about 20 degrees cooler inside. I no longer flinch when I grab the steering wheel. Easy to put in place and to store.

Whats Making You So Tired?
Mary was always exhausted. Despite working out, eating well, taking supplements, and even having therapy, there was something dragging her down she couldnt figure out.
When I first talked to her, she described a good job, a supportive spouse, a good set of friends, and some interesting hobbies. She had even just returned from a vacation, but the fact it hadnt refreshed her caused her to call for coaching. She wanted to brainstorm on what was going on and what she could do differently.
What did you think about when you were on vacation? I asked her. It seemed a good place to start.
What I shouldve done before I left home, she replied, and went on to describe a long list of things that had piled up at home a garage that needed cleaning, a lawn that had been neglected, files at work and at home that hadnt been taken care of, and a whole backlog of things that needed attending to.
I thought a vacation was what I needed, she said, you know to get some rest. But it didnt work.
Marys on to something there. Sometimes youll gain more energy by expending it to take care of what you need to!
Yes, our lifestyles are busy today, but, assuming youre taking care of your physical health, sleeping 8 hours, eating right, taking supplements and working out, theres a source of stress you may have been overlooking.
Theres nothing so fatiguing as something youre supposed to have done and havent done. In other words, those chores and tasks on the to-do list. This can be one large thing, or a number of small things. In fact the size of the task doesnt matter; they all create about the same amount of fatigue in your brain.
When you have something nagging at you like this, its a continual drain of energy. Why? Because it tugs at our emotions. Youre reminded you need to do the task and immediately feel guilty, lazy, angry at yourself, or any number of other negatives thoughts about yourself. These are energy-draining in the short-term and detrimental in the long-term.
What do you do? You start making excuses to yourself and to others. I didnt have time, or I had to do XX first. If someone else is dependent on the task, or wants you to do it, you can turn and focus your anger and frustration on them, and this adds more negativity to the mix. At the same time other people involved can become frustrated and angry with you. This sets up a force field of nagging, complaining, demanding, and other unpleasant emotions.
The longer you wait to complete the task, the less youll think about yourself and your competence.
Rarely do these things go away. Instead they sit around and fester in our minds, or grow worse in reality. If you were supposed to weed the garden, doing it a month ago instead of today would have taken a whole lot less time. You would still have been weeding, which you dont like to do, but there wouldve been a lot less weeds to get rid of.
Now when you get out there to weed, and the task is overwhelming, youll question your ability as a gardener, and maybe even your abilities in general. What wouldve been an easy task has become a large one, and will demand more of you.
In order to motivate yourself, think back right now on some task you had in the past that you took care of immediately. There are probably numerous examples, but you may not be able to think about them because you moved through them so quickly they didnt take up any brain-energy at all.
Thats the take home point. Instead of staring at the files piling up on your desk (which will take up place in your brain and emotions as well) tackle it immediately. Dont let things pile up, because they pile up in your head as well, and thats energy you need for other things.
Here are some ways to get started:
Take an inventory of all the things you need to tackle.
Make a list where you can check things off when theyre completed and see your progress.
Celebrate each item you take off your list with some treat for yourself.
Begin! Choose one thing and do it.
Work with a coach for support.
Declutter and simplify. As you go through the piled-up list, think of what things you could completely eliminate that would free up time and energy.
Be ruthless in getting rid of tolerations.
It may take you a while to get through your list, but you will eventually. If you eliminate some things, you should be able to stay caught up and feel a whole lot better about things.
