Meditation for coping with work burnout
Built-up burnout doesn’t resolve in a single relaxation session, but noticing where the fatigue actually lives in the body — beyond generic tiredness — is an honest first step that doesn’t pretend to fix everything at once.
Sample session
Sit or lie down at a moment when you can have a few minutes without demands. Before anything else, be honest with yourself: this practice won’t resolve burnout that’s been building for weeks or months, but it can help you notice it more clearly. Breathe at a steady pace, inhaling for about 5 seconds and exhaling for another 5, for a couple of minutes. Now move slowly through the body: where do you actually feel the tiredness — the eyes, the shoulders, a weight in the chest? It’s not the same tiredness as one bad night’s sleep; it’s more diffuse, more constant. Simply name it wherever you feel it, without trying to fix it right now. Naming precisely where the exhaustion lives is the first step before you can do anything about it, even if that something has to wait for another moment.
