A burnout is when you overexert yourself and use up lots of Ki. You'll
recognize a burnout pretty easily as you will find yourself not only
unable to call upon Ki very well (if at all), but you'll be physically
tired as well. Burnout will go away on it's own as your body
replenishes it's Ki. To help recover faster, sleep well, eat well, and
drink lots of water. Going for short, easy walks can help too since
there is more Ki in natural surroundings, and fresher air will usually
have better quality Ki.
Being very physically active or active
with Ki at all is not advised. Attempting anything which uses much more
Ki than everyday life is like trying to use a hurt limb. It will only
slow the healing process. The only physical activities which are
advised are walking, swimming, and things like bike riding or roller
skating. Don't do anything with running or other impacting motions, and
don't over-do anything at all. If you have any trouble breathing you
should slow down and rest up a little. The only Ki practices which are
advised are simple techs to draw in Ki, but do not draw it in in large
amounts. This will shock your system and set you back to square one on
your Burnout!
