I got hit by burn out after a crazy intense year. I think it took a good 6 months to recover if not 12. I was such a mess. Your tips are spot on for what got me back to some level of normal. Meditation and sleep helped a lot, as well as a lot of reading for pleasure.
What was weird too was when I got back in the groove my tolerence for intense focus was so much less. I had to build it back up.
It's really interesting how mindfulness is becoming "trendy" lately. It's been pretty effective at keeping thoughts in check, even though it's challenging. And hmm, interesting about the tolerance! I've found that when I'm less stressed, I generally can focus more without my thoughts racing, but it also is a challenge for me to give laser focus to something - I've been trying to train it
ya i used headspace for 400 days when i was super stressed and it felt helpful, but then i dropped off as just didn't feel i needed it and replaced it with just some quiet time on bike rides. Def a hot thing right now :)
i just did 10 min and tried a few of the ones on headspace until i found one that worked for me.
