I usually do some sports or go for a walk. In my opinion relaxing is so important for a healthy work-life-balance.

@anliamets Nice one! Also want to try it, when I quit hockey. I think it's a really good training and you're also getting more confidence

Hey @marvin_maendle, fantastic question! Entrepreneurship can be overwhelming; I've experienced 2 burnouts myself. The key lesson? Slow down and establish a solid morning routine. For me, that means starting at 5:30 AM with meditation, workout, breath work, and sauna. At night, I go screen-free an hour before bed, often drawing with my daughter or reading her a story. These activities, along with a calming tisane, truly help me unwind. 😊

@sam_drissi sounds like you're fine again after your 2 burnouts, respect! I also meditate in the morning or go for a short walk. Sauna sounds really nice. I hear that for the first time in the morning, are you from Finland.. ;D? I think mental health is getting more and more relevance if you compare it to the generations before us and this is so nice to see!

Mostly I think with a cup of tea, in some beautiful place. I usually go outside and think about my problems.

I go to the gym or take magnesium before bed I found a good one here Online Pharmacy, and I also try not to sit on the phone an hour before going to bed, and I can just read a book, then the nervous system rests more

@sviridov walks are always a good choice to calm down!

Sports in my opinion is the best way to calm down after a stressful working day. But in my case, I go home and play video games or play music.

@ashley_from_shadow to nuzzle a dog is in my opinion a moment, where I can totally relax and getting energy from. I think, you don't always have to get active to charge your body battery and do something for your mental health!

After long hours at GK Dental, I unwind by practicing mindfulness techniques like deep breathing or taking short walks. These activities help me relax and rejuvenate, ensuring I maintain a healthy work-life balance while providing quality dental care.
