[Chiara]

this isn't necessarily me... but I'm in a creative writing class, and that was one of this week's prompts. So, how do you rejuvenate after burnout?

Happens all the time since I am in med school. During exam season I just try to push through and go to study in a cafe for romanticizing it instead of stressing myself. When I am a bit more free, I stay home and binge watch shows. Staying home and cutting contact for a while just doing regular chores is therapeutic.

Been thinking of psychiatry!

Do a digital detox (stop reading the news for a while - especially the daily horror news), have at least two tech-free hours per day, spend time in nature, meditate, eat more raw fruits and vegetables (they boost your energy levels), stay hydrated (dehydration = even more stress for your body), listen to binaural beats (alpha waves for relaxing, meditating), watch virtual walks through rainy nights, listen to ASMR.

It's the combination of these options that helps and not everything works equally good for everyone (for example, I know people who don't like ASMR sounds).
