Lying in bed won't fix burnout. The speaker argues for active recovery instead: strenuous exercise, golf, or absorbing hobbies that demand your full attention. Passive rest leaves your mind spinning, but engagement in movement and nature actually resets you.

What does proper rest look like? Look, I'm not sure that rest is the best strategy. I think it's taking time away from the work, although work demands, but not necessarily resting, because person lying on the bed will probably feel quite morose and unfulfilled. They need to be doing something. So again, I think strenuous exercise. Now, I personally cannot do mindfulness and meditation. It just doesn't work for me. But if I go out and play golf, then in fact I. I think I'm actually practicing mindfulness because I'm completely unaware of other people on the T around me and I'm absorbed with nature and I'm doing some walking and whatever. So I think that is probably an exemplar of what I mean by taking time off.
