Most of you drive yourself to the extreme to keep in pace with others. If you do so, you will definitely burn out.

When your energy level hits the rock bottom, you will not have the mental strength to continue your endeavor to succeed.

So, give yourself a well deserving break.

Have a good eight hours sleep.

Entertain yourself.

Do not compare the speed of others. Work at your own pace.

Do one work at a time.

Tackle one problem at a time.

Do not overstrain and overwork yourself to burn out all your mental strength and energy.

4. Do not overthink

Most of your mental tiredness is the result of your overthinking.

Sadly, you do not overthink about positive things. You invariably overthink about negative things.

Yes!

You assume tons of negative things happening to you. You fear your future. You fear the longevity of your relationship. You fear just about everything because of your overthinking.

Forgo this negative habit of overthinking if you want peace in your life.

5. Be kind to yourself

You feel mental tiredness because you feel you are no good.

You compare the success of your friends\relatives with yours and feel you are nothing compared to them.

When you compare your life with others you will definitely feel lacking. Your life is your own. Success or defeat is your own. Trying for success is for your own satisfaction. You have nothing to prove to others.

Do not crush your mental grit by feeling less about yourself. Have pride in yourself. Be happy for your tiny success.

Understand the simple fact that when you never let go your trying, success has no other go than to alight on you.
