Burnt Out Brain Vs Refreshed Brain
How to stop feeling exhausted at work?
Sometimes, we just need to take a break.
Sports taught me this:
→ There’s no high performance without rest
→ Lack of rest often leads to burnout
So, let’s check out 7 activities you can try to rest your mind.
And 7 funny things about me
1. Mindful Breathing
Take a few minutes to focus on your breath.
Breathe in deeply — hold — then breathe out slowly.
This helps you:
→ Slow down your thoughts
→ And calm your mind
Here’s something about me:
→ My relationship with Mrs. Mindful Breathing started at 13, before my first exam
2. Take a Walk in Nature
Being in nature helps us clear our heads and reset.
So, try stepping outside for a quick walk more often.
Here’s something about me:
→ I went on my first walk at age 6 mo. with my parents to the neighborhood park
3. Listen to Music
Put on some calming or instrumental music.
It shifts your focus and helps relax your mind.
Here’s something about me:
→ Brahm’s music makes me feel creative!
4. Meditation
Spend just 5 minutes focusing on your breath.
Or, if you prefer, use a guided meditation.
It helps train your mind to relax, let go, and stay focused.
Here’s something about me:
→ I practice meditation — just 20 minutes a day
5. Take a Power Nap
A short nap (15 minutes) can refresh your mind and boost your energy.
Here’s something about me:
→ I don’t take naps
They’re not for me — but many people love them!
So why not share their impact with you?
6. Take a Break from Screens
Step away from your phone and computer for a bit.
A screen break can help clear mental fog.
Here’s something about me:
→ I spend 8 hours a day without screens
It’s like a mini vacation for me!
7. Stretch or Do Some Yoga
Do a few simple stretches or yoga poses.
They release tension in your body.
And, of course, they calm your mind.
