Mindfulness-Based Intervention on the Recovery of Mental Fatigue: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Review question / Objective: Can mindfulness-based intervention recover mental fatigue? Condition being studied: Mental fatigue: mental fatigue is a psychobiological state caused by a prolonged period of demanding cognitive activity, and it has implicated many aspects of daily life. It results in an acute feeling of tiredness and a decreased cognitive ability. Mindfulness: Mindfulness is rooted in Buddhism, and it is defined as the awareness that emerges from paying attention to objects on purpose and without judging the unfolding of experience. In a successful mindfulness mediation, meditators experience current feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations clearly and plainly without judging or evaluating them and acting on the sensation.
