I've had similar mental cycles as well. For me it came down to processing the present moment and then moving forward with the lessons given by the present. Like trying to maintain awareness of what is pushing the mind to far, but still be willing to push myself. Just remaining open to the signals coming from the universe (which can simply be ah ha moments about your self or life) helps alot. Those signals will generally let you know what sort of area would be helpful for engaging the mind further while still feeling grounded/balanced/healthy.
So for example like I was working manual labor and not taking the extra effort to exercise other parts of the body to balance out the overuse in a certain area. Instead I was spending free time on mental/intellectual pursuits which ended up in more chronic issues in my body which somewhat inhibited my ability to type or use a computer. Eventually I figured out how to rebalance which involved not working in manual labor, purposeful and somewhat consistent exercises, and reduction of energy towards complex mental stuff involving computers for research. Eventually I was able to get the issues to a much healthier place and able to increase the energy towards the mental stuff which I enjoyed and eventually became a source of income.
All that was also helping set a better foundation for later work in engaging the vital energy centers. I guess I just mean to say that worrying to much about being ready to use the mind can stunt your ability to accept lessons and progress. I certainly had to step back many times from meditation or study in order to keep my mind/body healthy.
Apologies if that was not clear, but I definitely relate to that complex. Accepting your present state is always important.
