Self-care is a vital part of a person’s overall health—especially if you are an entrepreneur.
A team of entrepreneurship researchers from the University of California studied personality and mood factors that are common among entrepreneurs. They found that people who own a business are more prone to:
- A sense of worthlessness
- Depression
- Suicidal thinking
- Overworking
If you want to maximize your business’s success, start by analyzing your self-care routine. In which of the following areas could you improve?
- Getting plenty of sleep
- Making time for friendships (this is one of the best de-stressors!)
- Exercising regularly (be careful not to overdo it)
- Scheduling time off (and actually take that time off!)
- Practicing gratitude
- Taking care of your body by avoiding processed foods and supporting good gut health
- Stepping away from technology and enjoying time in nature
