Mental fatigue

[Ricky]

What are your best recommendations for mental fatigue. I get that kind of numb feeling sometimes or foggy feeling in my head.

I also get mentally tired quickly. I guess I'm a big ***** or burned out, or depressed?

I get that alot too, best thing I've done is some kind of activity/exercise outside in the sunlight. Get the blood flowing, and quit thinking so much.

30 minutes of sunlight daily if possible, cardio exercise and a diet rich in omega 3's along with getting plenty of sleep will likely reduce or eliminate this.

Either:

a. You sleep too much
b. You don't sleep enough
c. You don't exercise
d. You have a terrible diet

Learn to meditate and quiet the mind. If you're mentally fatigued you're probably wasting your energy on trying to control things you can't control. These are troubled times.


Cheers!

You are starting to become my favorite poster. Very wise indeed.

Hope you got some sleep. Don’t stay up for 10 years lol.

I’m not 32 anymore either lol.

But in all seriousness, it’s still a problem in 2019 for a lot of people.

Maybe consider the following:

1. Don’t try to multitask. Focus on one thing at a time. You’ll soon get into “the zone” on that particular task and not feel as foggy. Jumping around from one thing to another makes brain fog much worse.

2. Get adequate sleep.

3. Nofap/noporn for mental clarity

4. Cold (or at least lukewarm) showers to wake you up

Very good post. I have on occasion used a technique called the pomodoro method where i focus for 25 minutes before i take a small break

So which goal or pursuit have you recently been overwhelmed by or squashed by or haven’t been working on?

Your mind can trick a man into thinking he’s not good enough or “who am I kidding?” Voice that pops up in your head.

Or someone has been suppressing your ideas and goals. Snide comments etc

I work in a field in healthcare where most of my work is kind of dictated to me by the needs of patient care. However my department rewards project work as something of great value too. I struggle to work on projects given my more pressing short term clinical responsibilities.

There is alot of task switching in my job due to frequent interruptions and this no doubt is responsible for the mental fatigue
