When I'm drained, I normally reset my brain with two bottles of legend. It works like magic.

Nice one, gud 2 know I dnt waste my energy.

:oEhn! Ehnn?

Ok! ...Continued

May be we should not do anything again.

Mastubation should be top on that list.

7. Masturbating and visualizing porn stars and every other girl you know you can't have.

talking from experience..

i forget things easily. op, what do you think is the cause? and give me solution.

Praying to unknown entities and deities like Yahweh and Allah is a waste of mental energy.

Scamfender:
Adulthood is exhausting. With the responsibilities of
work, family, friendships and more, we are expending a
lot of energy and are even limiting the amount of rest
we can get to replenish it. At this point in my life, I
figure I should save as much of my energy as I possibly
can for the important things. These are some ways I've
found that I was wasting energy and I didn't even know
it.
1. Allowing background noise:
Background noise raises stress levels , making it harder
for us to focus on concentrate. When we continually
require ourselves to perform tasks
with noise — even if it's just a droning air conditioner —
we are using more energy than we need to. While it
might not be possible to eliminate all background noise,
especially in our loud world, you can almost always do
something to make it quieter. Buy some noise cancelling
headphones and wear them without listening to
anything, use earplugs, or turn off the TV to save your
energy.

2. Giving away your power.
There are so many ways to give away your power. The
basic idea, though, is that you give away your power
when you say or perceive that
someone or something else is in charge of your life (or
an aspect of it), rather than you. This can be as simple
as always waiting for directions before you take action,
or more complex like blaming your genes for a medical
condition that limits you. When you give away your
power, you give away your ability to make choices that
will make your life better. For instance, you may not be
able to do anything about an inherited medical
condition, but you can still choose to live life to the full
with that condition. Doing this will energize you.

3. Keeping lists in your head.
Sometimes, I find myself exhausted because I'm trying
to remember so many things. When I take a moment to
write them down, my mind can relax because I know I
won't forget anything important. The simple act of
writing things down saves me energy now, but it also
saves it later. If I insist on keeping all my lists in my
head, I almost invariably forget something. That causes
all sorts of stress and wastes so much mental
energy later, when I have to scramble to pull something
together or apologize profusely for missing an event.

4. Checking email more than twice a day.
Most people really only need to check email twice a
day. Most of your messages aren't urgent and, if
someone has something that you really need to know
right now, they can always call, text, or come find you
themselves. When you check email all the time, you're
distracted all the time. Sometimes, you're even trying to
check your email while you're doing something else.
However, multitasking doesn't really work. You're
actually switching rapidly between tasks, not doing
several things at once. All of this switching takes
energy, which you wouldn't have to spend if you could
focus on each task alone.

5. Trying to control the uncontrollable.
I like to be in control, even when that isn't possible. In
the past, I've wasted a lot of energy trying to control
people and situations that it simply was not within my
grasp to control. When I can let go of those things, I
find that I have more energy to spend on the things that
it is within my power to change. Letting go of the desire
to control usually comes from places deep inside of us,
and you probably won't be able to let it go overnight.
Start by figuring out what you're afraid of that causes
you to need so much control, and begin to work with
the idea of letting go from there.

6. Working long hours.
Working longer hours doesn't necessarily make you
more productive. In fact, productivity tends to drop
significantly the more hours you make yourself work.
When you're working long hours, you're wasting your
energy. That energy would be better spent finding a way
to rest and to
rejuvenate, so that you can come back to your task
later, at optimum levels of productivity. Even if you
don't get every second of rest that you need, a short
break will help you focus again.

I am guilty of 3, 4 & 6... Knowing about this even adds to it in a way. Now one will start trying to avoid it all and end up adding this post to the list. lol

Chubhie:
that's same thing I say to myself when I observe myself as an outsider but when I look in the mirror, I appreciate the container and the content. It will also get 'weirdier' if I tell you am more energised when I get closer to nature. I'm getting sensitive to energies around me. There r just some people you merely stand few meters away and you get drained while have experienced boosts of energies when someone walks into a room. It is quite funny being human.

Nature? Don't tell me you sense aura?

Dis mam again!

Maybe one day Seun will finally realize how important the "Dislike" button could be.

ignis:
I seriously disagree with the checking email twice daily point.

Seriously, if anybody needs you, they would send a text or place a call thru to your fone?

Why in the first place do I have to check mails regularly? I'm I doing internet fraud or scam ni..

Awon omo yahoo boyz lo'n check mail regularly.

Victorious1:
Surfing the net is a waste of energy too....

Nairaland is a big example-- particularly without any specific purpose while having a mindset to relax. As I read the op, my thoughts went that way too because any time I go online to relax from some mental activity, I find out that I have to wait for some mind re-orientation together with deep breaths before I can get back to the activity. I also find that my head tends to be heavy after this supposed 'breaks'. I think just resting without thinking actively is OK.

Op, nice try but I don't agree with you. You see, whatever will drain or boost your mental energy depends on your belief system.

What you are even asserting still begs the question, 'mental energy for what exactly?' for partying or for solving problems?

Back @ topic, if for instance you are such that generally hate noise, it is obvious that noise will drain your mental energy.

But there are others to my amazement who find quietude too discomfiting. They prefer to live close to a thoroughfare where the bombardment of trailer and Caterpillar noise is a daily occurrence. To them, living in a quiet place is a dispensable ordeal. And I don't know anything else that can drain mental energy than an ordeal!

Anyway, the same person may love background noise in certain situations and dislike it in others.

Op, I can say the same for every other point you listed, except for (5). Nice work all the same.

When I feel drained, I go to a Higher mountain and spend a night. I comeback well grounded and loaded with lots of energies. It is a crazy world we live in. I have come to realise that the inflow of original ideas are always distorted in noisy environment. Regardless of a chaotic world, I strive to create a serene calming sanctuary in my home. A lady once thought I was mysterious. Have always been careful who I can trust enough to let into that private world. I guess it gonna take a goddess to make it happen. In the main time, I elect to enjoy my uniqueness and beingness in a world I find crazy yet amusing. I know I'm not part of this existence only visiting and have learnt a GREAT deal of hard lessons here and I know now appreciate all that. I wish to be no OTHER than ME and won't compromise my truths for any. I know there are legions as me out there and I do have a chance meeting once in a while with em. Namaste.

sounds like u have read alot of lobsang rampa's works. well urs seems to be going to the extreme. I love serene and peaceful environment 2 and i try to achieve that without necessarily doing it in a way that it begins to sound scary. lol
