Body & Business

Attention entrepreneurs…write this thought down somewhere you can see it frequently throughout the day: My body is the most important asset in my business.

It’s really easy to get caught up in taking care of others, getting the tasks done, keeping the clients satisfied, prioritizing your friends and family, but it’s not sustainable if it takes a toll on your health. 

How many of you have either experienced or personally witnessed a business owner hit burnout? It’s really, really, really common. They take on all the stress. They juggle all the balls. They burn the candle at both ends, and then they hit burnout. It happens every day. 

It’s avoidable, but not easy. 

Choosing yourself and your body first can often feel like an act of rebellion. 

Choosing to go to bed early instead of replying to more emails or wrapping up the project can feel counter intuitive. 

Choosing to not return the phone call so you can hit the gym after work may not feel natural. 

Pushing back the deadline for a day or two because your body is asking for rest isn’t always praised in our culture. 

But our bodies are the most important asset.

When we take care of our bodies we have more energy, have better ideas, are more attractive to be around, and get more done. 

How you spend your time is a reflection of your priorities. Are you prioritizing yourself? If not, what do your actions reflect you believe is a higher priority?

Tune into this week’s podcast episode for more thoughts to chew on on this topic and some real life examples you will probably relate to. 

If you are a business owner (or experiencing career burn out) and know that  taking care of your body is so far down the priority list that you can’t keep going on like this, it’s time to reach out for support. Schedule a Roadmap session and we can discuss what it can look like for you to start choosing yourself.
