jsut wanted to add here where I am located another word for mental fatigue is called mental exhaustion. the fix for it is to stop doing what is making one tired mentally, take a break, take a walk, focus on fun , light and easy activities... take time off to rest and relax. make fewer decisions, simplify life, pick your battles...rather than trying to fix it all, do it all. take it one step at a time. and that cliche take time to smell the roses. diet and exercise can also help.

another word for mental fatigue here is called work stress, work burn out. the fix for it is taking a vacation, enjoy things you love to do, leave work behind and spend time noticing things around you, grounding, breathing.

when I get mental fatigued I take my canoe out on the lake and row, i take a walk, the family and I go hiking or out for a picnic or to central park for ice skating. one of my favorite activities to combat my mental fatigue is taking my dogs out to a favorite wide open field and throw frisbe or ball with them. or just plan jog around the city. when I cant get out in the open air I enjoy reading a book to my children. right now we are reading the velveteen rabbit and we also are watching the harry potter series of movies with the older children.
