When I described The Neuro-Rest, I talked about how I can take one almost anywhere. One of the most useful places to use it is somewhere you wouldn't normally expect rest to happen - the work place.
My fatigue is mainly a mental thing. I can only concentrate for so long and then things start to go down hill. In the post, The Fatigue Bank Account, I described how I have to make sure I keep my rest up during the day. The extra concentration required at work means I need to be extra careful to stay on top of my fatigue.
A convenient way of doing so is neuro-resting at work. When I feel I'm getting tired, I just find somewhere around with no distractions, say a spare office or somewhere. I don't even have to be lying down; just somewhere with no noise I might focus on.
Given how much I enjoy my work, I think my recovering would be much more difficult if I hadn't realised I could neuro-rest at my work place.
Cheers,

neuro rest, huh.
If you have ttime please give me an example of what you do.
I've found that closing my eyes and breathing deeply for 5 to 15 minutes helps my brain rest, I guess it is like a light meditation.
Hey there Anonymous,
Did you see my original post where I introduced the neuro-rest concept? Your brief summary of your light meditation sounds very similar - letting our brains rest is key.
I recently started a new job that's quite a bit more demanding that my previous work since my brain injury. On a couple of weekends, now, I've had to return to neuro-resting to get me through the following week. I'll write a post on it at some stage soon.
Cheers,
Mike
