How to cope with mental exhaustion?
Mental exhaustion is a state of emotional exhaustion as a result of accumulated stress in your personal or professional life.
Emotional exhaustion is one of the signs of burnout. People who experience mental exhaustion often feel that they have no power or control over what happens in their lives.
Make fewer decisions: postpone crucial ones for at least a couple of weeks, try to cut down on smaller ones: eat the same meal every day for lunch, order the same kind of coffee, etc.
"Unplug" some of your senses: a lot of sensory load: light, sound, talking, tactile sensations can be very exhausting. Try to eliminate some of the stimuli and spend at least a few minutes in silence and darkness.
