As we approach the last few months of the year, take a step back and write down all that you accomplished and all that’s happened in your life. It’s a lot, right? Now think of all the things you wanted to do but didn’t get a chance to.
Still a lot? If not, good for you! Keep going and please send us some tips! lol. In my opinion, if you’re a dreamer, you always want more and more. So even when feeling like you’ve done nothing, you’ve actually done a lot and even when you feel like you a lot there still seems for work to be done. This feeling is amplified when possible balancing hobbies, a 9-5, and entrepreneurship.
I’m here to tell you to give yourself grace. If you’ve accomplished SOMETHING, you’re on the right track. There is no correct path of life. The best thing to do is to stay true to yourself and your vision. The best way I do this as a business owner balancing everything else is reading.
Reading is a tool that is so beneficial to dreamers because it feeds the brain with knowledge on how to approach task mentally and physically. For me, reading all types of genres on specific problems I’m having with in the moment allow me to take a step back and refocus. You’re allowed to take a step back from certain things in life when trying to juggle everything at once. Focus on what is most important in front of you and if you don’t know how, the solution is somewhere in your next read!
I’ve listed some books that have helped me sustain balance throughout the entrepreneur journey and just life in general below. Throughout the next articles, I will share new reads that may spark your interest!
- Profit First by Mike Michalowicz
- The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins
- The 5am Club by Robin Sharma
Some are new reads and some are re-reads but they were specifically chosen because of the clarity need at the time. I hope that they help you! The Body Care Journal is all about helping you take care of your body internally, externally, and most of all finding the balance through it all.
Until next time…
