I have multiple sources of high stress in my life. Only one of them (work) is something I can change significantly. Most times I handle the stress fairly well or very well, but about once every 18 months, I seem to burn out and go through a phase where my stress has gotten too great for me to manage with my usual methods. My signs that this is happening are that I become impatient, irritable, less resilient, exhausted, and unmotivated. Beyond eliminating 'extra' stressors and increasing time for self-care, can you recommend anything to help me get through those periods?
