What do you do when your mind is tired?

A tired mind is worse than a tired body. When my mind is tired, it means resting the whole day. But when I am physically exhausted, an hour of rest or so will suffice. I will watch some Youtube videos to relax my tired mind. It is the literal tiredness, not stress. So a good sleep will surely solve my problem. How do you relax your tired mind?

This is true. For me, walking is really effective in making oneself good.

I try to stay productive . .. yard work, cleaning, cooking, exercise, etc. I feel better when I can accomplish things as I get distracted.

I try to sleep or meditate, when you relax your body, most of the time the brain will follow!

I do lots of different things. I color, I do dot to dot puzzles, I write (or try to, anyway). I also listen to music.

Nowadays I am trying out Qi Gong breathing (slow deep breathing reaching solar plexes), it works instantly, refreshing both mind and body!

When my mind is very tired, I go to the gardens and work there and talk to myself. Listen to jazz and happy songs or music.

Sleep is good for both, tired body and mind.

Absolutely true. One's mind is like the engine in a car if it doesn't run successfully then it won't work!
