How do you actually relax
I (29F) recently got burned out due to prolonged work & general life stress. My GP told me to start off I should rest for three weeks before considering looking at further steps. However, my hobbies require quite some focus (reading, gaming, knitting, crochet etc), none of which I can currently do without triggering more headaches.
My partner actually told me that he has never actually seen me rest bc I am always doing something. Now I am genuinely curious, how does one rest & relax ?!
Unfortunately I am exhausted both physically and mentally so I am trying to go for short walks (<20mins, when my anxiety allows) and do yoga daily. Besides that, I am at a loss. I've picked up painting which was fine initially but now also triggers headaches because I am once again too focused and taking it too seriously.
Help!
