Mentally drained.

What are some things that help you guys out when you feel mentally drained? Like after a starting a new job, or getting into a big argument. One of those things that you feel like you just have no energy afterward because of the mental exhaustion.

 

Time
A walk
Stupid movie...not one of those twisty plot kinds you have to think about

 

Sleep.

Long walks.

Meditation.

 

Yoga and meditation
Andres Segovia/ JS Bach/ Fernando Sor
That usually brings my health back.
God bless! -

 

Sleep.
A walk.
A bath.
Reading.
Soft music.

 

Exercise
Meditation
Eating fruits

 

i go sit at my meditation station when around home (in the garden sitting amongst the veggies listening to the bees work or down at the spring head) if i have a running water source nearby i go there and allow my drained bits float down the river with the current.

I listen to THIS and if i wake up in a grump i listen to THIS

 

i always feel mentally drained. i just go about my life as normal...

 

^ haha
nice
id say sleep

 

I don't think I've ever been....maybe it's because of the large size of my brain. Sucks to be you peons.

 

Some of my friends.

 

writing
painting
sit outside and just let my mind take off in whatever direction it wants to go
walks
reading sometimes, but hard to get into when mentally somewhere else...

 

A bubble bath, xanax, crocheting and yoga. I should do more of the yoga and less of the xanax.
Lavendar scents help me a lot.

 

sometimes I will try to get to bed earlier and get extra sleep

talk to people, mostly my husband

sometimes I pray

I wish I was better at exercising, meditating.

 

Thanks guys. I took a nap. I felt a little better, but still a little "elsewhere". I think I might try meditation.

 

I'm a bit mentally drained today. I woke up with the weight of sadness on me. I cried a few times this morning. Now my eyes are heavy and I am tired.

I think I'll probably go to bed earlier tonight. Laying in my bed with my dog sounds awesome right now. (LOL!!! She's in the other room and as I'm typing this she came out to see me and kissed my foot) So sweet!

 

A few hours on the basketball court usually does the job for me

But if you want a quick solution there are always cognitive enhancers like provigil (for narcolepsy) and Ritalin (for ADHD) which stimulates mental acuity and led to the axiom ‘Viagra for the Brain’



Hotwater

 

making really loud angry ape noises...although today im super low and can only really even muster a slightly dissatisfied chimp

 

sleep and swimming

 

lots of drinking, and spanking random girls
