Work Life Balance
Healthy work-life balance has a direct affect on your physical health as well. Lack of support has been linked to depression, insomnia and has been shown to alter the function of our brain, leading to other issues like cardiovascular disease, inflammation and even suicide. Staying connected, having support and finding groups of entrepreneurs and small-business owners that share your struggles helps.
Be Your Own Advocate
Being your own mental health advocate is key to staying healthy. Taking 5 minutes out of your day to complete deep-breathing exercises or taking a 30 minute meditative walk, makes a big difference. Put yourself first, always. Talk about your mental health with those around you. Leave your pride at the door.
