It is well reported and very well known that entrepreneurs throw themselves in to their work to grow and develop their businesses. The responsibilities take their toll.

At times the entrepreneur may feel heavy with the burden and quite clearly not operate to their full potential as a result of tiredness, bluntness or just merely too much work and not enough life.

Life consists of;

Exercising regularly

Being active help lifts ones mood, reduces stress and anxiety. Involves physical health and gives us more energy. Take yourself outside, in green and wide spaces, if only to breathe the air or going for a walk.

Have some fun and/or be creative

Book a trip, anywhere even just to the theatre. Make it a regular commitment. Something to look forward towards. Look out for concerts or comedy shows near you.

Eat more healthily

Even if you cut out one bad thing in your diet, it is progress. Take out the excess sugar, carbohydrates and this will ensure that stress reduces. You are what you eat.

Take up that hobby, pastime or skill

Make some time to commit to a new hobby. Or, perhaps even better give yourself some time to improve or develop your current pastime.

Time with family or relax more

Book some time to be with the family or just time for yourself to develop relaxation techniques. There are plenty out there such as mindfulness or yoga for a start.

The clever and successful entrepreneur will focus on his or her work life balance just as much as their job and role. Keep at it…
