The negative effects of mental exhaustion

Hello friends of Project HOPE, I hope you all have a great week, and that your days go by being very beneficial for everyone, but regardless of the personal goals we have, I must say that we cannot forget to rest, and I don't just mean physically, but mentally, which is also extremely important, especially when we dedicate ourselves to working on our own.
I talk about this, about mental exhaustion and how to avoid it, because I recently had a situation where my performance was extremely affected by mental exhaustion, and for the first time in a long time, I had to stop for a moment to consider certain things. And mental exhaustion is a reality that affects many people today.
It is no secret that as life becomes increasingly hectic and demanding, it is increasingly common to experience elevated levels of stress and pressure, which can lead to mental exhaustion. This state of mental fatigue can have significant negative effects on our overall health and well-being.
One of the most common effects of mental exhaustion is difficulty concentrating and making decisions. Just today that happened to me, I was stuck, practically my entire morning was wasted because I couldn't put ideas into practice. And when we are mentally exhausted, our ability to process information and maintain attention decreases, which can negatively affect our productivity and performance at work and in virtually all areas of life.
Just a few minutes ago I published this post where I talked about it, it was nothing but in the afternoon when I was able to focus on working, this after turning off the PC for a few hours, after having lunch and even sleeping for a while in the afternoon. Only then was I able to finally write something, as well as take the time to analyze some things I had pending.
I also have to note that mental exhaustion can have an impact on our emotional health. It can cause feelings of irritability, even anxiety, which ultimately makes it even more difficult to cope with daily tasks. Not to mention that if this becomes chronic, constant, we can associate stress and mental exhaustion with an increased risk of developing more serious mental health problems in the long term.
Mental exhaustion can end up affecting my physical health, predisposing me to suffer from certain diseases, without a doubt it is not something I want to go through, I want to stay healthy, as I have been until now.
This is why today I gave my mind a break, in fact, I am preparing to go for a walk for a while, to clear my mind, because I definitely demand a lot from myself, and I am not a tireless machine, and before it ends up affecting my physical health, I better become aware of it and, even better, I give myself time to rest.
