Photo: 123rf.comWhen recovering from burnout it helps to prioritise doing whatever restores your spirit, says clinical fatigue specialist and "really skilful worrier" Vincent Deary. Many of us are driven by productivity and do not take our own need for rest and recovery seriously, he says. We don't really know how to rest and recover. Working at a fatigue clinic, Deary helped exhausted people challenge their personal beliefs about rest and recovery. "They would believe rest is a luxury, rest needs to be earned, rest is for weak people, strong stoic people don't need to rest to recover."
