Square breathing helped a lot: hold breath 2-4 seconds, exhale, then inhale, hold 2-4 seconds. Do this whenever you feel stressed, kicks you out of fight or flight. Tying up loose ends helps. Reduce the number of things you need to focus on. And fix any little problems in your life. I don't mean big problems. Little naggy things. Just reduce the number of things you need to worry about. Make sure to sleep. I've found autosleep on my apple watch helpful. It does an hrv measure now. Hrv correlates strongly with overall stress level. Tracking this seems to have helped. Time helps. And if I could have done something different, I would have done far fewer trips: my burnout was extended by a series of trips all in a row. However, a long solo trip to a new place where you make a routine can be nice. It was little trips brought about by external circumstance that increased my stress.
