http://bit.ly/1dZz2O0

Mental fatigue is extremely hard on a person. It is even more difficult to deal with than physical fatigue. When a person has mental fatigue, they can’t think clearly and they can’t express how
they feel. It can even cause a person to feel physically fatigued and even cause illness.

If you suffer from this type of exhaustion, it could be caused by the work that you do, your family life, or a lack of good quality sleep. If you have mental stress and you need to make an important decision, it could also lead to severe depression.

How do you fight mental fatigue?

Relax your mind and you will boost your energy

If you have mental fatigue, you are probably wondering how in the world are you supposed to relax. Here are 5 tips on fighting mental fatigue naturally and helping you to establish a routine for relaxation:

* Make time for yourself.

A good way to do this is to sit in a quiet dark room and get in touch with your spiritual side. You could pray or meditate or even write your comments in a journal. Some people find it relaxing to just sit in a dark room with their eyes closed.

* Get good quality sleep.

You can still feel mentally exhausted even though you get enough sleep. However, if you do get your 8 hours of sleep every night, that will help refresh your mind and your body and will also help you deal with your day-to-day stress. When you sleep, your body repairs itself.

* Try to forget the problems that you are facing on a day-to-day basis.

Read a book, visit with your friends or family or get away for the weekend. Sometimes when you change your surroundings, you can forget the everyday stresses.

* Exercise on a regular basis.

When you exercise, your brain releases endorphins. These endorphins are what make you feel happy. You don’t need to work out or run a marathon. Just a simple 15 minute walk is all you need.

* Breathing exercises work very well also.

Just take in deep breaths through your nose, hold for 10 seconds and then release through your mouth. This will help to relieve any tension that you may be feeling.

* Make time to do things on your own.

Sometimes when we do things with other people, we have a tendency to not relax. If you like going to a museum and your spouse or friend does not like to do that, then do that yourself. You don’t be relaxed if you take someone to do something and it is not their favorite thing to do. You will be able to enjoy the experience the way you want to and not the way someone else forces you to.

Fight your mental fatigue using your own natural strategies

These are just 5 tips on fighting mental fatigue naturally. Once you start to implement some of these ideas, you will find many others that will help you. Doing these types of things on a regular basis will make you feel like a new person!
