In my experience mindfulness can help (not cure) mental fatigue in two ways.
Being intentionally more mindful, ie tuned in to my experience, I have a greater chance of
- recognising what helps and
- putting a strategy to do it.
Here is a small example from today. Whilst I really cannot not be bothered, I recognise that exercise is going to get me out of my slump. However it’s so hard to get myself up. Hmm, I know: accountability works well with me so I’m going to write on this blog post that I will go swimming. Ok, now I’m compelled to go.
I reckon it is super interesting to invest time in become more familiar with one’s internal landscape.
