Side note: my business partner is my husband 😉
We spend way to many hours a week working on our business, so we really try to take off Sundays and Mondays as these are the best/ slowest days for our business for us to be away. Usually that involves us doing quick check-ins in the morning to attend to anything and then we crave balance, spending time in nature.
Here’s 4 wellness non-negotiables as busy small business owners:
1) Quality Time Nature Adventure
Today was Goldstream Falls, we’ve lived in Langford a year and finally went. It was gorgeous! Especially on a Monday, only one other family there that left right after we got there, basically had it to ourselves. Perks of having Mondays off! We try to explore somewhere new together as we are new to Vancouver Island and there is so much to see!
2) Steam/Sauna
We try to go together weekly, but Jesse is much better at going multiple times per week at the gym solo. Having a good sweat resets the stress, removes toxins and makes my acne prone skin much happier.
3) Hot Yoga
I have a membership at our local studio and I try to go 2-3 times per week to a variety of styles of classes, flow, power, pilates, mobility stretch. I spend a lot of time sitting at a desk so I look forward to this in the after work. I prefer to use this class time to transition my day from work flow to evening. It keeps my body in check and I love the intense sweat as I run cold.
4) Walking
I try to walk every work day morning for 20mins before I have breakfast and sit at my desk. I’m much much more productive and awake on the days that I move my body. It makes such a huge difference for me. I am not a morning person and it really helps wake up my brain and body.
Small business ownership is hectic! Make sure you make time to take care of you too! 💫😎
