Create space for rest. This could be a vacation, a reduction in workload, a transition to part-time work. If you can’t leave, at least set aside time each day to “do nothing.”

Practice disconnecting from work: don’t check email, don’t answer calls, don’t think about tasks. Set clear boundaries: “from 7 p.m. — time for yourself.”
Engage in restorative practices: walking, yoga, meditation, creativity, communication with loved ones. Something that gives peace, not stimulation.
Seek support: a psychologist, a friend, a mentor. You don’t have to cope alone. Sometimes it’s enough to talk it out to feel relief.
Revise your values and priorities. Perhaps you are not living your own life. Ask yourself: “What is important to me? What brings meaning?” This will help you rebuild your routine.
And finally, remember: recovery is not a luxury, but a necessity. You are not a machine. You are a human being who needs time to heal, reboot, and move forward again – with new strength and meaning.
