Normally if you are unfit, you can exercise.
But how do you exercise the brain?
I have noticed my memory recently go extremely shoddy.
But today was a new thing. At work I mentally challenged a few customers. It was beautiful. A game of chess that I controlled. Ofcourse I sold. to people who would not normally buy off me.
But in under two hours I was knackered. Still am feeling it.
And I always feel entally tired. Is that laziness? lack of activation? and how do I rectify such things? have a good breakfast?
I think it is time I gave my brain a rest.
It has been far too active recently.
Interpersonal politics is a tough issue, and can be very taxing for a person who has the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

Salaam Admin,
Unfortunately the older you become, the more your brain density decreases i.e. you have fewer neurones (the building blocks of the brain) to use. This is why it becomes harder to learn and remember new things as we get older...
However, it's not all doom and gloom.
The rate at which the atrophy of the brain occurs can be reduced by taking a few simple steps:
-Eating more fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts: Contain all the vitamins the brain needs to function.
-Eating more fish (especially oil fish) or try taking extra strength cod liver oil capsules (just make sure the capsules are not made out of gelatine, Holland&Barratt do a range of vegetarian cod liver oil capsules): The brain is mainly composed of the type of fat you find in Omega-3 fish oils.
-Drink milk: The calcium is good for nerve transmissions.
-Exercise: helps to increase blood flow to the brain.
-Do puzzles: effectivley they exercise the brain and help re-establish 'lost' neurone connections.
Incorporating the above steps, into your daily routine, should put your brian into better shape and stop you from feeling so tired...
I'll aim to visit this forum on alternate nights so just let me know then if you need anything else.
May peace be blessed upon you.

If it is not a job you are passionate about, it will be annoying to be knackered. That is what I dislike about sales, it is a waste and in fact a criminal abuse of hard won credibility. Whereas I think if you were working for a health centre or, say, for Shelter, it would be a pleasure to find yourself mentally fatigued by the people thing.
I think exhausting yourself on people is a sign of growth - but I just don't think a salesman grows right.
I don't have enough work and have been thinking of applying for an English Heritage vacancy, showing people around stately homes and the like. Nobody's going to tell me that if I stick it out for a week I'll be team leader and if the team does well I'll be rich, but if that was ever true I didn't see it.

Salaam,
From my own experience I'd back up what 100man wrote...
We spend so much time at work, we should at least find it satisfying...
Also, 100man, is that the Ark of the Covenant (aron habrit) as your Avatar
(I knew watching Indiana Jones would come in useful one day....).
May peace be blessed upon you.

It depends what kind of mental fatigue you’re talking about…
I feel mentally drained out atm…
But I can fix that by spending the next two days by only reading/watching and speaking about shallow and non intellectually stimulating stuff.
Reading of course, stimulates the brain…and so does trying to figure out a solution to a problem.
And lack of action of course, makes the brain dull and dead.
But I didn’t really think a brain could get tired..?
Wasalaam
yes muslim sister a brain can get tired, knackered and slow. i think only sleep can refresh it and lots of de-stressing
I usually get very depressed when my mind is not active.
But sleep is great to refresh the mind...but I've noticed that if you have a lot of stress and you go to sleep you have nightmares all night long.
thats true
Salam
Think honestly.
Omrow
i like that Omrow i like that very much - think honestly not only does it exercise the mind but it also get rid of stress and clarifies it
Salam
Thinking in full honesty has power to transform everything in one's life.
