Life as a business owner can be a bit of a wild ride, especially when you are starting out. You likely haves excitement, anxiety and hope in equal measure. Entrepreneurs never want to be in the position where they should have worked harder and smarter to avoid failure meaning they try to eke out every last bit of effort they can manage. Unfortunately, this leaves relatively little room for proactive mental health habits and mindfulness.
Entrepreneurs tend to fit a certain personality profile. Ambition and goal orientation lead the way followed closely by curiosity, organization, efficiency and work ethic. Introspection and mindfulness are generally relegated to the footnotes with scant regard for the potential impact plausible from their inclusion.
On the face of it, it seems like taking momentary steps back is shirking vital tasks but there is significant value in decluttering the mind and practicing effective mindful habits.
