How mental health can and will affect your performance as an entrepreneur. Thereโs been days where Iโve literally laid in bed for hours overthinking. Overthinking and procrastinating about my business or the success and vitality of my business.
Yes, procrastination is also a part of mental health. Solely due to the fact that you will talk yourself into a low vibrational head space. And this level can vary from day to day. Some days Iโm excited and looking forward to my many tasks at hand. While other days Iโm crying to myself that my business is a failure. Or itโs invaluable and a waste of time and money. This usually happens when Iโm in โcomparisonโ mode. Looking at others around me or on social media walking in their โwinning seasonsโ. While Iโm still in grind and building mode. With little to no profit. Lately in 2023, Iโve developed a mental check system that truly helped me mentally. And has been a great tool to ease my entrepreneurial anxiety. For one, Iโve limited my time on social media. I literally log in, post, interact, and log off. I donโt teary over watching posts that trigger me. Or that makes me feel inadequate as a woman or entrepreneur.
As my Grandmother would always say โout of sight out of mindโ. This has helped me tremendously! I no longer have time to compare my business or brand to others. That keeps me in my โpresent momentโ. And paying attention to my own lane. Secondly, I have implemented daily meditation and speaking affirmations. Not only over my business, but my overall mental health. Again meditating puts me in a presence mindset. Establishing breathing techniques, chants, and sounds that help to raise my mental and spiritual frequencies. These techniques teach me stillness, allowing spirit to recharge my mental and spiritual batteries. No one prepares you for entrepreneurship. Everyone simply says โstart the business, write the bookโ.! And yes, starting is definitely the goal. But you must also know entrepreneurship is very tough. There will be good days, bad days, reward days, and losses days. So building mental stamina, believing you are worthy of success, and that youโre capable. Is definitely going to benefit your overall mental health as an entrepreneur.
