Well written Divya! I agree 100% with how one doesn't know it feels otherwise. We call it normalizing a situation or a behavior. If you work continuously you think that is normal and as you rightly pointed out, a few things here and there may seem like you are doing something outside. I can say you have utilized your sabbatical very well and it helps you understand who you are, what interests you, unwind and do things that matter to you most and then return to the rat race. Keep going!

This is good stuff! Agree its extremely hard to figure out what burnout is, and even harder to know when you are vs when you're not.
