How do you keep the energy up during the grind?

So, how do you guys stay charged up when the entrepreneurial grind gets tough? Coffee, yoga, little dance breaks? Share what works for you!

For me itโ€™s fully accepting โ€œbreak timeโ€ - doesnโ€™t matter if itโ€™s sudoku or a hike or a movie or tinkering - itโ€™s accepting that at any given time I may need to focus on ME. Since basically we spend 99% of our time focusing on others, this is my method of self-care.

@jtoeman That's so true! Self-care shouldn't ever be neglected. Getting to that frame of mind took me a long time to learn!

These things help me - Coffee - A small walk outside - Exploring other products on PH What works for you @brenkinfa ?

@daxeelsoni Nice! Coffee and spontaneous walks outside are also big for me. Another one is a 10 - 30 min light gaming session.

- Prioritizing good sleep (right amount and quality), - Enough micronutrients. - Celebrating milestones and successes with my team - Meeting fellow founders (everyone's in the same boat and all have similar problems, it helps grounding me)

Well, Coffee, Celcius, and Ambition aka Mental Illness. But really I drink a ton of caffeine.

@jake_strack First time I heard about that energy drink! I used to do other kinds of energy drinks as well - but yeah, the caffeine caught up to me.

Everything altogether. Trying to squeeze in what I love doing in between sports, park walks, and board games.

@nevemind_com +1 to board games, especially if you could get a group in (social + mental benefits).

@kyle_desana Oh, definitely! For me (and I'm sure a lot of others), doing something outside of my usual work routine tends to get those subconscious, creative juices flowing.
