@Startup_Canada @nunziopresta Thank you for hosting this! I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their day:) stay safe and check in on each other:) #startupchats #advisor

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA A11... Sometimes a simple change in the balance of your hormones can make all the difference! It is scary asking for help, but as #startupcanada and #Microsoft are showing you... this needs to be spoken about. We are in this together as startups:) Stay safe and reach out anytime!

[Luna VR @LunaVR_Inc]

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA A11. If you are an empath, Type A, and/ or someone who feels things deeply.... #entreprenurship is hard. Mentally it is exhausting working & always being more critical of yourself and not being able to let things go. Talk to your family doctor if you feel you are not able to cope

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA A 10.
- Sleep tracker (great sign to see if there is an added reason you are struggling more in a day than normal)
- Pets :) Seeing my dog's energy and excitement for a simple ball or walk makes me remember to be in the moment.
-Food in bed days and no guilt:) #startupchats

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA A9. continued... and that is okay. You have to allow yourself to take a break if you are not doing well mentally or physically. We are lucky mental health is FINALLY being talked about. but again, you never know what someone is going through...so Ask! Check-in and care:)

[Luna VR @LunaVR_Inc]

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA A9. Remember we are ALL going through something. For my promo video, I had just had my 2nd #MS attack, couldn't walk and the day before had finish 5 days of plasma transfusions (crazy!). But I showed up as we have to as entrepreneurs... but sometimes you cant. #startupchats

[Luna VR @LunaVR_Inc]

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA NO, I do not think it talked about enough.
**FOUNDER's depression is so real.
-The lows and highs of starting something are incredibly challenging for those not even struggling with chronic anxiety, fatigue, depression and/or illness.
-ASK each other real ?s.

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA A7. •Daily: “calm your mind, calm your body, and calm your soul”- If at any point in the day you are feeling overwhelmed, take some breathes and remember that.
**Remember, if you can walk and talk, you are doing pretty well:)
•W/M: something fun, different outside online:)

[Luna VR @LunaVR_Inc]

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA -Burnout: decreased energy, lack of enthusiasm, increased anxiety, fear, changes in behaviour, flat affect, less motivation.

If you suddenly don't understand why you are less productive and feeling overwhelmed, read up on #entreprenurblues #entrepreneurburnout

[Luna VR @LunaVR_Inc]

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA A6. continued...You are only productive at a certain level at specific times of the day. Find out what time of day you are most tired, most productive, and when you are craving TV binge-watching:). #startupchats

[Luna VR @LunaVR_Inc]

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA A6. I think if you give yourself time off (and struggle to do that, ask someone to remind you).
•Also, I use sleep mode on my phone so I do not get any notifications after 8pm until 6am (other than emergencies).
#startupchats

[Luna VR @LunaVR_Inc]

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA Give yourself more of a break in-between meetings, ALWAYS give an extra 15-30 mins if you can & get some fresh air.
• Blue light glasses are recommended over 6hrs of screen use (even less if you feel they help:) My friend swears by them.
• Move around:) #startupchats

[Luna VR @LunaVR_Inc]

@Startup_Canada YES! It is the first question we all answer on calls. You are not allowed to talk about business and until you have checked in:). #startupchats

[Luna VR @LunaVR_Inc]

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA • Routine: I schedule fun activities for the week on the weekend (when I am most energized), so even if I am busy, I have to stick to my commitment during the week:)
• Exercise... a simple walk and fresh air change it all!
• Fun... #nintendoswitch

#startupchats

[Luna VR @LunaVR_Inc]

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA A3. I have bi-weekly meetings with other 4-entrepreneurs to help encourage each other. One of us leads it &we use it to help support& uplift each other in these hard times.
•Its not even about business, but great to be able to discuss & just process everything #startupchats

[Luna VR @LunaVR_Inc]

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA A2. ROUTINE!
-You have to treat it as an office, not your couch:)
-Set time parameters on things
-When you are not working, step away from it "office" space
-As entrepreneurs we push ourselves all the time, we have separate work and play. #startupchats

@Startup_Canada @msft_businessCA Q1: Yes! I am immunocompromised and a registered nurse. So it was terrifying. Mentally I was worried about patients, the public, and myself. I knew it would change how the world worked. Now I am feeling better as more evidence is coming out that about the properties of the virus
