I recently went through this, and I’m a month into a sabbatical to recover. Most of the answers here are resonating, but one other thing I noticed was a slide over in my baseline heart rate variability and resting heart rate. My burnout was driven by an extremely high stress role/environment so this may not apply to everyone, but a few weeks after leaving, my resting heart rate plummeted and my HRV has been trending back up. (I have seen my doctor, and they agreed that the factors were stress related as I was otherwise in good health). I’ve found keeping an eye on these metrics useful as a high level indicator of overall stress, and it has been satisfying seeing them return to normal as I focus on self.
