To wrap up this months topic about how you as a busy business owner can reduce stress quickly, without adding more to your to do list, I want to bring you back to the most basic stress reliever there is: reconnect with your vision and passion.
It’s so easy to let the bigger picture slip from your awareness and get lost in the immediacy of what has the loudest voice. There are so many daily demands coming from all ends of life. Since 7 years, I am running a Non-Profit Organization for Seniors in need in addition to running my successful coaching practice. It was very stressful as you can imagine. I was myopically focused on all the urgent details and relating to the project from the perspective of how little was getting done and how much still needs to be done.
Finally, I began to take five minute walks in the woods around the property adjacent to the house. I would sit in the sunshine for a few minutes and slow down. Instantly I would be reminded of why we started this project, and how rewarding it was to help our Seniors. I was filled again and again with my vision and the original excitement I had when I started the journey. It turned my stress around in an instant.
Slowly this new habit helped me manage my stress and saw me through to a successful completion. Vision is a powerful antidote to stress. Take some time now to remember your vision, your passion about your business and breathe it in to every fiber of you being. Ahhhh, isn’t that better?
It’s YOUR life - imagine the possibilities!
