First of all, if you're burned out, you should consider taking some time off from work, or whatever it is that is overwhelming you. When you return, you should feel refreshed.

Return to the things that you really enjoy! Treat yourself to a lie in every once in a while and clear some space where you can sit in quiet and relax. Try guided meditation or relaxing music too.

A lot of rest and self-love. There's no easy way to simply bounce back. It's a process of healing that takes time.

Going outside and doing some sort of fun activity. Be it walking in a forest or playing a game with friends. :)

I like to think of this as a mental 'reset' button of sorts... I check out for a little bit. Sometimes its a day or two, sometimes only a minute or two, but I make time for myself to reset and recharge. I go for a run, I read a page or two in a book, I cook a new recipe, whatever works for that moment. These little mental-health moments to myself are priceless and sometimes all I get in my busy schedule.

There is a wild trend factor in being stressed out in today's society. When you've absolutely done all you can do and your drained from the workload, TAKE A BREAK! Nap, read, workout, go out with friends. Do something that pleases you and relaxes your body and mind. Rest is the best way to rejuvenate.

For me it helps to always remember the end goal. Always remind yourself why you are doing what you are doing, and how everyone is proud of you. Perhaps calling home, if that is a viable option, will help remind you why you are working so hard. I work hard to make my family proud, and that drives me to better myself and keep working. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Start with self care: breathing exercises to bring a moment of calm, and then small comforts to restore your balance. That could be a nice cup of tea, or a hot bath, or an hour curled up with a favorite book or movie. (It could be going to a rave, but that's rarely how people recover from having low energy!) Once you've re-centered yourself, look for ways to adjust whatever's causing the overload - reduce your schedule, or cut off contact with someone who's stressing you out. If you can't reduce the load, look for ways to put "recharge" habits into your day or week.
