A common challenge shared by most entrepreneurs who are attempting to scale from a team of me to a team of we is an unwillingness to disconnect themselves from every process in their businesses. If this is you, it means you're feeling tired, frustrated, stressed, and feeling like there is never enough time. It's like a feeling of dread coloring everything you do, all the time, in the face of success and failures alike. You are literally working yourself to the brink of what will be an inevitable breakdown.
When an athlete injures a leg, ankle, knee, an eye socket, or tears their achilles tendon there is typically swelling followed by the immediate inability to execute. Because the injury is apparent, the natural reaction is to seek immediate medical attention, followed by days, weeks, and months of rehab. Afterward, great care is taken to make sure the athlete doesn't aggravate or resume activities that may cause even the smallest tear or setback during their recovery.
Well, how do you know when you've aggravated a mental injury? How do you know if you're suffering from an injury to the mind due to overexertion, or some type of trauma? The mind is the one body part that everyone has an opinion about but lack the ability to literally eyeball a brain injury (which would require you to crack open the skull) or damage done to the mind at the onset of an issue. A person can be operating normally without symptoms associated with an injury being apparent.
Implementing an operating system. Learning how to attract and retain the right talent around you. Relying on processes as opposed to you being the system is how you build a thriving, healthy business. Taking these steps is also necessary to maintain a thriving, healthy you.
What does daily medication or rehab look like? I don't know. I haven't earned a doctoral degree in medicine, and therefore if you feel like your mentally broken or exhausted beyond recovery I encourage you to seek professional, medical attention. However, I believe curating a life that includes the following activities may help:
- Quiet moments to review your personal affirmations,
- Take walks around the park,
- Plant things,
- Celebrate your wins and take inventory of your victories,
- Reflect on your values, focus, and goals, and find alignment,
- Set aside thirty minutes with an inspiring book or vlog daily,
- Dedicated a morning or evening with family or yourself to simply laugh, live, and enjoy life.
- Performing breathing exercises can make all the difference in the world.
If you're like most entrepreneurs you'll need to be intentional about scheduling time for these activities. What time of the day, how much time, and how often will you set aside time for your personal recuperation regimen? Choose three or create three of your own. Just do it.
