2. Get Enough Sleep And Rest.
You maybe exhausted because you didn’t get enough sleep and rest. Maybe the previous night you had a patient you where taking care of or you watched a movie till late. This automatically makes your body and brain tired. Create some time for yourself and sleep in compensation for the time you didn’t rest at night.

3. Do Some Exercises.
Once you leave the body redundant, no exercises-no what, it gets exhausted. Make exercises part of you, you don’t necessarily need to go to the gym-No. You can do this at any place you feel is convenient for you be it at home. Do jogging at the compound, pushups, squats etc. This will lead to sweating and you will get the feeling of refreshment.
4. Eat When You Are Hungry.
You might fail to concentrate and feel exhausted because of hunger. The mind is something that is so sensitive that it signals whatever isn’t right within your life. Once you get yourself something to eat when hungry, you start feeling fresh and better.
5. Drink Water To Freshen Up.
They say water is life and that is very true. Have you realized that if you spend the whole day without taking water you start feeling some mild headache? Why do you think boda boda cyclists fuel their motorcycles before they set off? Clearly without fuel they can’t ride them. This same applies to our bodies. To avoid being dehydrated, drink plenty of water or fluids if water feels tasteless e.g., make mango juice, orange etc. To remind yourself this, always carry water bottles so that you remember to do so often.
6. Be Multi-Purpose.
Avoid doing that one task all the time. Some people get bored easily once they get doing same thing for a period of time. This makes them feel exhausted. Try and be multipurpose, do this task today and do the other tomorrow. Do different things all together and by so doing, you will feel refreshed.
7. Give Yourself An “Off Commitment Time”.
Too much of commitment makes the body and mind tired. Some people too are committed doing church activities, work, studying, managing projects etc. This “too much” exhausts the brain especially if there’s no off. My concern is do you want to kill yourself? I mean you are just a human being, you don’t use fuel-avoid being too serious with life because it will cause you problems in the long run. Create yourself an “off commitment time” and refresh your brain.
8. Create Time For Self Meditation.
Meditating upon your life helps to refresh your mind. Sit down or lay down, be calm, think deep within yourself, talk to yourself. The most convenient time one can meditate properly is at night when people are sleeping and everywhere is calm. This gives you time to review your lifestyle and tune to a better one.
9. Always Pray.
Once something making you exhausted feels spiritual, please pray. Spiritual battles like nightmares, witchcraft etc. can be fought through prayer. Prayer is powerful, it strengthens you and relieves you. Be part of overnights, prayer groups and bible studies. This will help you feel calm, clear, relaxed and refreshed.
10. Connect With Family And Friends.
Family bond is something unbreakable and “east or west, home is the best”. Being home is the best feeling ever. When you feel exhausted, connect with your family and friends, talk to them, share beautiful memories, chill and laugh, have all the fun. Trust me you will feel relaxed and refreshed when you are around your own people.
In Conclusion, take these simple steps to refreshment today and save your mind the exhaustion. Allow it and watch yourself enjoy life to the fullest. Always take a step to realize your mind is exhausted and let it rest for some time before you resume.
