Baylor Scott & White Health has outlined four strategies to help individuals recover from burnout, a condition characterized by emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion due to prolonged stress. The strategies include regaining control of one's workday,
restructuring thinking patterns, creating new experiences, and prioritizing self-care. These methods aim to restore balance and energy in daily life, addressing common burnout symptoms such as chronic fatigue, decreased personal accomplishment, and difficulty concentrating.
