Stress and business go hand in hand. High-pressure situations can certainly be motivating.
But too much pressure can be emotionally
and physically damaging.
Well-being in the work place has been a
hot topic for a while, as employers search for ways to disrupt stale corporate
habits and help staff stay focused and engaged in a world where it’s impossible
to switch-off. For some people,
achieving work life balance depends on adhering to a strict routine: Eat,
Sleep, exercise, repeat.
Flexibility is important for
entrepreneurs. You can never be certain
what tomorrow will throw at you, so the ability to adapt and prioritise in
incredibly important. When a challenge
presents itself, disrupting your plans, you need to be able to assess its
importance and reorganize your to-do list accordingly. While every entrepreneur needs to be able to
multi-task, constantly shifting focus isn’t always productive.
Prioritise your workload and delegate if
you can. When starting your business
solo, you’ll be doing a number of jobs. That’s
a lot of pressure. This is where it is
important to have fun. In order to be
refreshed and ready to take on any challenge, you must find time for play.
Devoting time to the things that make
you happy will foster a positive attitude and help you tackle stressful
challenges. Having fun isn’t a reward
for hard work – it’s your responsibility and your job to find time to laugh
every day. Ditch any guilt you might
feel about stopping work and schedule time for enjoying yourself in your
planner. Make the relaxation time a
priority, particularly in the mornings. It
helps clear mind and energises for the day a head.
You are far more likely to succeed if
you are enjoying yourself. Just make
sure you play as hard as you work, if not harder.
