5 ways to complete 'stress cycle' & avoid burnout/depression: 1) Exercise (reduces cortisol, boosts endorphins), 2) Cognitive activities (reduce negative thinking, cognitive behavior therapy), 3) Creative activities (art, craft, gardening, cooking increase prefrontal cortex activity), 4) Social activities (emotional support, balanced perspective), 5) Activities that trigger 'relief' stage of stress cycle.
