Due to project pressures, at times I would work through the weekend, missing out on the fun out there. However, I always ensured that I compensated myself with a day off to do nothing but relax and rejuvenate-usually Mondays (besides I hate Mondays). Find your own formula for rewarding with a day or two and relax.
If you are handling a large project/gig it can be overwhelming to see the start or end of it. To ensure you do not burn-out even before the project has began; it would be wise to break the project into small manageable portions that will ensure smooth sailing of the project/gig. Clients are more receptive to a systematic and organised plan of doing a project, and will most likely accept your proposal if they see the end sooner. With this paced approach, one is left with time and space to think, breath and just R-E-L-A-X.
