Overcoming Fatigue
Fatigue is the inevitable result of erroneous thinking. Mortals believe in the reality of matter and material law; and the outcome is sickness and suffering, which are usually accompanied by fatigue. Every form of material thinking, or, in other words, every form of thinking which is unspiritual, produces fatigue, or is responsible for the mental and physical weariness of which mankind is so greatly the victim. It is well to be clear as to the seeming cause of fatigue, because its exposure is one of the first steps in the overcoming of this disability which prostrates such large numbers of the human race.
To be more specific, what are sometimes called the "cardinal" sins are the chief causes of fatigue. Everybody knows the paralyzing effect of anger, which frequently claims to stultify mental as well as physical activity. It is similar with jealousy, envy, hatred, malice, and revenge. And lust is recognized as one of the greatest scourges of all: not only is it responsible for much of the world's belief of weariness; it is also directly responsible for many of its worst diseases.
It is readily admitted that erroneous material thinking, including sin, is the cause of human suffering and fatigue. What is the remedy? It must be to cease thinking materially, and to think spiritually. That, indeed, is the Christian Science method of overcoming fatigue. And Christian Science puts this method forward with the assurance that it is entirely in accord with the law of God, teaching that God's law produces harmony, and harmony alone. Mrs. Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 183), "The supposed laws which result in weariness and disease are not His laws, for the legitimate and only possible action of Truth is the production of harmony."
