The 21-year-old rose to a career high ranking this year but his tour season ended with a $25 000 fine and a two-month ban from the ATP for not trying in a match at the Shanghai Masters.
The ban was reduced to three weeks after he agreed to see a sports psychologist.
"The ATP wanted me to see a psychologist to help me out and I've been doing that," Kyrgios told Fox Sports after helping the Singapore Slammers to the Indian Premier League Tennis title in Hyderabad on Sunday.
"It's actually been good, just relaxing a little bit, spending more time with my family and my girlfriend as well.
"So the suspension, one way to look at it, is getting more time off with the people you love and I've been training as well, so it's set me up in good stead for 2017.
"Obviously I wouldn't have wanted to get suspended but it gave me time to think about and analyse what I've got to get better at."
The tempestuous Kyrgios, Australia's brightest hope of a men's grand slam champion since Lleyton Hewitt, clinched his first three titles this year in Atlanta, Marseille and Tokyo.
He also dubbed his effort losing to Andy Murray at Wimbledon as "pretty pathetic", however, and withdrew himself from contention for the Olympics after a public slanging match with Australia's team leader for the Rio Games.
