Growing a business can be both exciting and challenging. As an entrepreneur, you’re constantly juggling multiple tasks and responsibilities, which can lead to stress and anxiety.
However, there are ways to manage these emotions while still meeting your work goals. In this post, we’ll discuss eight strategies that can help you reduce stress and anxiety as you grow your business.
If you’re stressed out and tired, one of the things you can do to help yourself is to plan a self-care getaway. This type of trip can be almost any kind of vacation. The goal is to do things you enjoy and take care of yourself so you feel better when you go back to your normal routine. Here are some tips from Personal Growth Web to help you get started!
Better health and wellness are two major reasons why it’s necessary to take self-care getaways seriously. During a self-care getaway, find ways to make healthy choices.
For example, finding ways to exercise when you have limited time can help you get in better physical shape and burn off stress and anxiety. A good example of this is taking the stairs rather than the elevator or taking a short walk while you’re out to lunch.
If you’ve ever felt you fell short of your own expectations as a mother, you are not alone. My journey from being a perfectionist parent to finding my true self, and allowing myself to be imperfect, is one I would like to share with first-time mothers.
Excitement about my first pregnancy was the beginning of a big change, which started with setting high standards around motherhood. Nine years later, I admit it was the worst decision I’ve ever made.
It may be clear to experienced mothers, but was certainly not clear for me, that the perfect routine, the clean house and the super-healthy menu were not the most important aspects of parenting.
Starting a business is a full-time job. Being a stay-at-home mom is also a full-time occupation. As a mompreneur, you have unique obstacles to overcome to begin running a successful enterprise from home. However, with a positive attitude and some helpful tips, you can create a flourishing company and still be a great stay-at-home mom.
The first step to starting on your journey is identifying why you want to be an entrepreneur. Perhaps you want to have control over your schedule to meet your family’s needs better. Or, maybe you have a specific interest, product, or idea that you want to bring to others. You may want to achieve a healthier work/life balance or set an example for your children.
Regardless of reasons, passion for your endeavors keeps you motivated to succeed when everything becomes frustrating. You may feel overwhelmed at times by the process of starting a home-based business while raising your children.
Staying sober can feel like an uphill battle. A craving can be triggered by anything from a negative emotion to a certain street, and it is difficult to ignore those cravings when they do come. One of the best ways to reduce triggers and stay sober is to implement new healthy habits into your life.
Not only can healthy habits help you avoid the emotions and environments that trigger you, but they can also make it easier for you to deal with each craving.
Every person with an addiction has a certain set of triggers. These are places, things, people, or emotions that remind them of their drug use, and through potent association, make them crave it. As a general rule, triggers are divided into two categories: internal and external.
Today, I experienced a ‘Wapple.’ A wapple, according to my 4-year-old daughter, is when you go to the park and play with someone you’ve never met before.
‘I love wapples mum’, she said after I’d coaxed her off the swing with the promise of an ice lolly.
‘Yes, I love wapples too. They’re the best. Now, Orange or lemonade flavour?’
She amazes me sometimes. Not only had she made up the word, but she’d also been confident enough to fulfil its sentiment. She walked straight up to a little boy spinning around on the roundabout and introduced herself. Then she played shops and a game of tag with him and after an hour they were holding hands at the top of the slide.
I’m 43. I guess I’m halfway through my life. I’ve done lots. I’ve travelled the world. I’ve had many jobs, many lovers, many rashes… and now I’m settled down with 3 children in a normal house on an ordinary street with a mortgage and a dog.
I am middle-aged. The age where I’m surprised by my own farts and I make a weird grunting noise when I get out of a chair. The age when I should be doing regular exercise and eating clean, instead of scoffing chocolate brownies in the bath. The age where I should know what I want and be content with what I’ve got.
I should be satisfied, be leaping out of bed each morning with enthusiasm, excited as to what another sunny day will bring.
If you’re a mom, the COVID-19 pandemic has likely affected you in more ways than one. And if you’re a stay-at-home mom whose spouse has lost their job thanks to the current state of the world, then your finances have taken a huge hit. Now, you’re fulfilling the roles of mother, teacher, and provider.
Here are some ideas to help you work during the pandemic while handling your other responsibilities.
I think everyone wants to know how to have good communication. It’s the foundation of good relationships, family, romantic, social, work, etc. However, this is not something offered as a school subject, is it?
This post is my attempt at making good communication clear and simple. Make no mistake, it may not be easy, but it should be clear and simple. This way, if you decide to put in the effort to do it, at least you know where to aim.
Good communication always (always!) has 2 sides, which means that the steps outlined below are useful both when you talk and when you listen.
