Running multiple businesses can get overwhelming at times, but even at its most chaotic times, I wouldn’t trade it for anything – I love being self-employed. Here are a few things I’ve incorporated into my day to allow for more balance:
Get off social media
Coming from someone who’s career revolves around social media, I can tell you firsthand that social media can be draining. The overflowing and endless amount of content on the platforms can take away from time we can use to relax. Don’t get me wrong, I love social media but limiting time on these platforms is so important. If you find yourself mindlessly scrolling for hours, give yourself a time limit. I make a point to put my phone down 2 hours before bed and indulge in a book, meditate or take a bath.
Meditate
After waking up and right before bed, I’ll meditate for at least 10 minutes (usually longer). This dedicated time to be present helps with anxiety, stress and allows for more presence in my day.
Acupuncture/ Massage
Getting a massage/acupuncture (sometimes a combination of both) every other week puts me in a better state, both mentally and physically. I used to see this as a *treat* every few months and when my shoulders were super sore, but now it’s more maintenance and for overall well-being.
