For me, 3x 20 minutes meditation helps a lot. In the morning, around mid day, and in the evening. Why? It gives me the chance to go from active thinking mode, to passive “observer” mode - and only in that state, I can process all the emotions and stress that pile up during the day.

Then there are much bigger benefits of meditation (depending on which type one practices). But the stress processing benefit alone is already fantastic.

The times I’ve burned myself out, it usually happened after I started to compromise on my daily meditation minutes.
