When you feel burned out (physical/emotional) what do you do to relieve stress?

Can't say I am ever pressured physically to the point of feeling burned out.
I do occasionally feel emotionally burned out though.
I begin to feel incapable of dealing with issues & have a deep desire to isolate myself.
So that's what I do. I take myself out of the equation.
When I'm alone in a quiet place, I can sort out my thoughts & feelings.
When I have answers for myself as to the best course of action, I throw myself back to the wolves.

When you're burned out what do you do? I'm the quiet thinker type.
 

When I get emotionally burned out I fall asleep, and depending on how bad the stress is, dictates the length of the sleep.
Physical burn out puts me in my wheelchair, and that time period depends on my RA.
 
I don't get physically burned out (if I exercised more, I might! :) ) ... but when I am in an anxious state I rely on several different types of homeopathics, folic acid and B12....and just try to 'let it go' ...because it is really true: this, too, shall pass.
 

I will have to give square breathing a try. Maybe it would at least help get rid of the headache I usually get when I'm stressed.
 
I stop and thank God I am not a light bulb. :)

My answer is to take a good 45 minute brisk walk. That works for me.
 
It's common for me to get both physically and mentally burned out because I have a demanding job and some health issues. When this happens, I make sure I get plenty of rest, even take a nap. I book a massage and I get lots of morning sun on my eyes. I've learned to say no as well.
 
I did a little trick in physiology and it gets surprising results.
Find a comfortable chair or bed close your eyes and pretend that you can float out of your body and float up and up till you ar on a star looking back at the earth and see that spot you started from once you are there think of the big problem you had. most people will begin to laugh as the problem is very very small once you have done that return into your body. The cost of teach astral projection is free.
Have fun and experiment
