Step 1 — Self-assessment

For each type of fatigue, rate on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = not at all present; 5 = very present at the moment):

• Physical fatigue (body)
• Mental fatigue (cognitive)
• Emotional fatigue (emotions)
• Social fatigue (interactions with others)
• Sensory fatigue (external stimuli)
• Creative fatigue (inspiration)
• Existential fatigue (motivation, meaning)

Step 2 — Identify your “Top 2”

Which are the two highest types of fatigue? These are your priority areas.

Step 3 — Choose your micro-rest

For each of the two highest scores, select one rest activity from those suggested here. Just one. A small one. Something you can do today.

Step 4 — Observe the changes

Over the next 48 hours, observe what changes: your energy levels, mood, mental clarity, sense of presence…

Step 5 – Allow it all to sink in

All change begins with an awareness, followed by a period of integration. What you have put into words, brought to light and put into perspective continues to work in the background, without you having to intervene.

Let it come. Let it settle. Let it emerge.
