Six quick and science-backed strategies to recharge your mental battery.
Feeling mentally drained even when nothing “special” has happened is a familiar experience for many.
Now, Cordula Nussbaum offers a simple solution in her new book, The 1-Minute Strategy Against Mental Exhaustion, with quick exercises designed to recharge your mind.
Morning Power Set
Start your day with small rituals that boost your inner self.
Stretch, practice conscious breathing, spritz your face, or recite three affirmations. These one-minute habits signal to yourself: You matter.
Identify Mental Energy Thieves
Take a moment to pinpoint what’s draining your energy, time, or nerves.
Are constant disruptions, emotional obligations, or perfectionism weighing you down? Cordula recommends a quick self-assessment.
Cross Out One Thing
Examine your to-do list and remove one unnecessary task.
Whether it’s an appointment, a message, or a minor chore, saying “no” to something frees your mind and gives you more focus on what truly matters.
Mini-Movement Breaks
When your thoughts spiral, get moving.
Dance for a minute, circle your shoulders, or shake off tension.
Even a brief burst of movement reconnects you with your body and brings calm to your racing mind.
Digital Detox
Social media is engineered to keep you scrolling endlessly.
Pause for 60 seconds, do nothing, and give your brain a reboot.
This small break helps reset your reward system and reduces mental overload.
Become Chief Happiness Officer
Take charge of your own mental wellbeing.
Smile, take short breaks, step outside, or hydrate. It may seem simple, but prioritizing your energy and mood is key to sustaining mental strength.
One Minute to Recharge
Mental resilience doesn’t require a complete life overhaul. It starts with small, intentional moments—just one minute a day dedicated to yourself.
