Preventing Entrepreneurial Burnout
1. Get Away
You don’t have to take a vacation to give yourself a break. Spending some time on a hobby you love, such as golf or playing music, can quickly re-energize you. If you’re really stressed out, head for a relaxing place far from the stimulus of a TV, phones and e-mail, such as the park or a massage therapist’s table.2. Cut The Processed Foods
Whether you’re eating out with clients or tucking into fast food at your desk, a steady diet of restaurant food means big portions and hidden calories. Take a breather in your hectic schedule to cut out the processed foods, alcohol and caffeine and instead eat vegetables, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. You’ll feel more energy and your digestive system, thanks to your increased fiber intake, will thank you.3. Champion The Cause
If you want to make sure you keep up a health regime, put your reputation on the line. Sponsor an employee health and wellness program. You’re much more likely to follow through with taking the stairs or avoiding the vending machine if you’re trying to encourage coworkers or employees to do the same.4. Fresh Air
A few deep breaths can clear your mind and refresh your body. Try taking six seconds to inhale and six seconds to exhale five times in a row once an hour. As you do so, focus on moving your stomach in and out, rather than just your chest. Done regularly, the practice will help relieve tension and may help prevent burnout.5. Eat In Silence
At Miraval Resort in Tucson, Ariz., corporate groups that take part in the new Executive Strategy Package enjoy a breakfast in complete silence. Instead of eating on the run or in front of a TV or Web site, the program shows executives the importance of putting their forks down in between bites, helping them eat less and feel more satiated, so they can taste a meal’s textures and flavors.
