Channel your energy strongly into something of real value to you! If you burn out, then rest and recover. Effective meditative techniques help one to do this! Depression can result when one can not handle the low energy emotional/spiritual state that results from pushing oneself too hard! Often this happens when one gets stressed out and does not take proper care of oneself! Good spiritual theories/programming along with meditative exercises and a healthy diet can help one handle the really hard energy involved in a low energy states! One can learn to better handle spiritually the cycles of life! We live in a rough world where one needs to be grounded enough in reality that we can shut down most of our energy when needed in order to rest and recover and handle doing this. We can be the most tuned in spiritually when comfortably in a very low energy state, since our energy when in this state will interfere less with our receptivity to the spiritual energies beyond our own!
