I was in a similar boat. I turned to books. Read all that I could find in philosophy, leadership, and science of life in general.

I also spent lot of time studying other startups and what they did differently to win.

The founder fatigue is natural especially when we pour our heart into it. Failure hits hard. I read an interesting discussion between kapil gupta and naval. We attach our 'self' to much with the startup.

While most literature focuses on avoiding thoughts, my learning after last couple of years is - the only skilll that can help is patience. Being able to wait is the primary skill I now focus on.

Good luck.

Some book recommendations: Anything from JD krishnamoorty, why zebras don't get ulcers, extreme leadership, charles duhigg both books, power of now (mindfulness), and most important why we sleep.

How coincidental. I believe I listened to the same Naval-Kapil talk you are speaking of just last night. Followed by my usual dose of Jiddu Krishnamurti’s talk.

K’s videos have struck a chord with me and I try to practice what he talks about.
