Hi, Founder of a petcare company here. We've had to pivot multiple times in the past and even had a co-founder leaving due to family related pressures. This year is definitely looking like a harsh one for founders and this topic is probably becoming more relevant. While everybody deals with (and needs to deal with) issues of the mind and self in their own way, what has been a great support for me personally, has been the practice of meditation and spiritual inquiry. Over a period of time, it has really helped to separate out life on the material plane, from what I consider the journey of the soul.
Having a close set of friends, not related to work, has also been very helpful. Plus working on keeping the body healthy. Tough to say what the future holds, but few principles like these have really helped in staying fairly grounded through some difficult times.
