Startup Burnout Stage 4
Startup Burnout comes in different stages. It seems that you have developed into the fourth stage of burnout.
You are experiencing mental and physical exhaustion and possibly even illness, like headaches and stomach problems.
How to recover from stage 4 burnout?
Feeling so low, looking after yourself might be one of the most difficult things to do. Even though you are burned out, you still want to work and keep the business going. But in order to save your business, you first need to save yourself.
The first step in the right direction is listening to your body and acknowledging your own needs.
For some, it means taking a full break from work for some time. But other startup founders and entrepreneurs might benefit more from working part-time and looking after themselves at the same time. A benefit to this approach is that you can learn the right coping strategies instead of ignoring your problems.
