MBSR Program - Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction - created by Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn.

On a bodily level you may be struggling with a general feeling of tiredness and sleeplessness, general tension (especially in the neck and lower back), lack of energy and a feeling that you no longer have time for yourself.
If this situation continues over long periods of time, you may be at risk of burnout.
