That first step for me was big early on. When you feel like a fuckup regardless of how successful you actually are, it's hard to take time to rest. I found myself in cycles of sleeplessness during crunch time followed by damn near hibernation after completing a large project. Reframing has helped: the reward for hard work is not rest, but momentum for more hardwork. It gets easier to force yourself, to motivate yourself.
