Conquer The Fatigue Habit

Conquer The Fatigue Habit:
Take Control With A Positive Perspective

.More often than you can imagine, fatigue may be nothing more than an annoying habit. We are not talking about physical exhaustion from hard labor here or a chemical imbalance. This reference is about the mental fatigue caused by reinforcing self-limiting habits that are counterproductive.
.It is so easy to establish habits of boring, dull, or even down right negative attitudes and routines. This happens when you choose not to exercise control over your mental health. It is a rut that allows for worry and negative thinking, which can eventually undermine self-confidence, lower self-esteem, and even cause you to feel demoralized. In turn, this reinforces the belief that you are feeling fatigued or sluggish.
.You have a choice in how you feel and how you view the world. It is an illusion to believe that you have no options.
.
People who really enjoy life and capture the best there is to experience have learned to exercise self-discipline and manage their lives. If you have regularly felt fatigued from self-defeating beliefs and thoughts since you cannot remember when, it is imperative that you finally recognize your actions and decide to do something about it. The past does not have to determine your future.
.
If you are consistently experiencing overwhelming fatigue, it is time for you to find out why. It is always a smart move to consult a physician to clearly rule out any fundamental physical or mental concerns. If your doctor does not identify a serious cause for your fatigue, then it may be time for some self-imposed changes.
.
One's feeling of mental fatigue can quickly take a change for the positive, as illustrated in the following scenario:
.
Let's say you are continually sensing fatigue and you cannot imagine feeling any other way. Now, the phone rings and you answer it with a less than enthusiastic demeanor. The caller identifies herself as an attorney for someone close to your family who has died. You think to yourself, "I was feeling lousy before, now I'm feeling even worse". But then the attorney informs you that the deceased did not have any remaining family to leave his fortune. And, he chose to leave his entire estate of two million dollars to you.
.
Yep, in an instant you became a multimillionaire. Are you still feeling fatigued? Imagine that, all of sudden you have chosen to no longer feel bored and tired. You are now exhilarated and motivated. Where did that reserve of energy come from? Has your perspective changed?
.One of the most effective ways to offset mental fatigue is to be clearly aware of the thoughts and choices you make. When you consciously decide to manage your decisions and your life, you are no longer waiting for things to randomly happen for you to feel better.
.It is your choice to be active, creative, and joyous. It is a matter of consciously taking control. Why waste precious time relinquishing yourself to happenstance and weariness? Just as you can succumb to self-imposed fatigue, you can choose to engage the habit of being mentally stronger and happier.
