Mental tennis is a mental pattern that can make decision making feel impossible. In ME/CFS our nervous systems are already over-stimulated, and when it comes to deciding how to spend our energy, patients can feel stuck in a tug-of-war over how to move forward and make the "right" choice. Alex offers some tips on how to recognise and address mental tennis to get clarity on making a choice in the moment with mindfulness and checking-in in a new or different way.
