Understanding and Managing Physical and Mental Fatigue
Experiencing heightened emotions or fatigue occasionally helps to reset the body's 'alarm set point' to prevent it from perceiving moderate fatigue as a crisis. Noticing physical signs of fatigue, like leg pain or disjointed breathing, and mental signs, like distraction or impulsivity, can help in recognizing the need for a break and managing mental fatigue effectively. Making friends with physical and mental fatigue by not overdoing it is essential to prevent burnout and exhaustion.
