And if we try, and reject everything that may imperil this momentary stability, we reduce our life to mere routine, which again increases boredom and tiredness.
We need to remove the root cause of our exhaustion. Weariness only dissolves when our life stops being tedious and lame. Exhaustion vanishes all by itself once life starts fascinating us (again). How to neutralize: If our job tires us, it might have gotten reduced to mere making money, which doesn't inspire us any more. We feel there should be more to life, - that real life passes us by, - that we are losing, no matter how much money we get paid. And this is what exhausts us.
One solution may be to just quit the job and look for more interesting work, - or to start up a company on our own, - or to find what causes our lack of inspiration and change it into something more exciting.
The negative alternative is to continue with our exhaustion.
Practical Tip: Much exhaustion is caused by the sheer mountain of unfinished business we push ahead of us. - The phone-calls we forever dodge, - the heap of junk-mail in which important papers drown, - the burned-out light-bulb that makes accessing the attic hazardous; - the list could easily continue. To keep all this in check takes far more energy than its completion ever requires.
Concluding these open issues effectively removes this cause for exhaustion. It lifts 'a load off our soul', - it frees considerable energies to deal with far more vital themes.
