Rhythm is important to your body. Don't forget, even entrepreneurs need to sleep sometime. I make it a point to sleep before mid-night every night and get up at the same time every morning.

Seems that every time I get through a period of high intensity that ends abruptly (with either success or not) there's a huge letdown that results in getting sick, fatigued and depressed. Lack of adrenaline or endorphines perhaps? And I find that exercise is the best treatment. Related to burnout is letdown.

To redouble efforts through tough times when your body is clearly telling you to lay off. Perhaps it is too many scenes from Hollywood movies: the hero has to fight on, just one more intense surge of work and then...victory at last! I certainly have found myself falling into that lie--rarely is the situation as dire as in your fantasy--and falling into blues or worse. <br /> <br /> For myself, the basics of emotional health have always come down to: spending time with friends, regular exercise, new challenges. And yes @Alex, naps help too. :) As an entrepreneur there is a temptation to sacrifice yourself. To redouble efforts through tough times when your body is clearly telling you to lay off.

Listening to yourself is sometimes a hard thing to do. He offers a simple means of reconnecting.
