How Do You Relax?
You missed a meeting…an order when wrong…a delivery was lost…you missed a deadline…too many things to do and not enough hours in the day. Does this sound familiar?
Being thrown in many different directions as a business owner can throw you off a bit.
Here are some tips that I use to help me relax when feeling overwhelmed:
1) Go for a walk. Whether you walk around your house, backyard, around the block or at a park, these are all great options for taking a break and relaxing.
2) Go to the gym. A few days a week, I take a zumba class. It’s a great workout and it releases that built up stress and anxiety.
3) Pick up the phone. Make a phone call and catch up with a friend. Get your mind off your business for that time period. Or you could reach out to a friend or family member to release some tension. We all need a break sometimes.
4) Write it down in a journal or make a list. For those that are not verbal, writing down your frustrations on a piece of paper is like therapy.
These are just a few ways that I try to relax when I am feeling a little overwhelmed. Feel free to post below and list ways you relax.

I am the super motivated type so relaxing it a little bit difficult for me. I force myself to rest/relax by going to the movies once a month. Even that two to three hour window helps me.
