Stress Management

Congratulations on taking this very important step to learn how to get control over your time, energy and life. As solopreneurs, we are for everything in our business which often makes us feel stressed out and overwhelmed, resulting in procrastination and losts of uncompleted projects.

Does this sound familiar?

• Is worrying about money making it difficult for you to fall asleep?
• You're always feeling overwhelmed because you don’t have enough hours in the day to accomplish all you want?
• Do you find you’ve been developing lots of neck/back aches, grinding your teeth, or gaining weight?

If so, you’re not alone. As a solopreneur, we’re responsible for everything in our business. We often don’t understand how important it is to take good care of ourselves first and how that impacts all we do. As that saying goes, "put the oxygen mask on yourself first, before helping others." The reason for this is you have to maintain your inner strength - if you deplete yourself, there will be nothing left to give others.

I’d like to share 3 important Success Tips to improve your ability to remain calm, in control and focused throughout your day:

1. At least 2 hours before bedtime start to unwind. Instead of watching the news or crime shows on television, start doing relaxing activities. Put away your computer and stop checking emails. Some suggestions are: read an enjoyable book, listen to calming music, meditate, or take a bath and light some candles. This will relax your mind and body instead of 'revving' it up. Get 8 hours of sleep!

2. Take deep breaths when feeling stressed. This is one of the easiest and fastest ways to momentarily switch your energy. Breathe in deeply through your nose, hold it for a second or two, and then let that breath out slowly through your mouth, as if you were blowing out a few birthday candles. Do a series of 3 breaths. Repeat this exercise as necessary until you feel calmer.

3. Reduce the amount of times you check your emails during the day. Turn off the alert noise on your phone so you don’t get distracted every time an email comes. Otherwise, it will make it too easy for you to stop what you’re doing to check the email resulting in you getting off track. Instead, check your emails at designated times, perhaps every 4 hours. This will allow you to stay more focused on what you’re doing and accomplish more throughout your day.

If any resistance comes up on reducing the frequency of checking your emails ("I might miss an important email") these are negative beliefs you need to clear out to achieve success!

These Success Tips are your first steps to remaining calm, in control and focused throughout your day, resulting in you being more productive and happier. There is much more you can do and I'd love to help. Let's talk about how you can get more control over your life and have more success.

“I just took Kate’s Stress Reduction class and I’m feeling more relaxed already. I was concerned about a decision I had to make for my business and as a result was feeling tense about it. I was very impressed by the way she could easily extract out my problems and issues and then quickly apply them into her process in real time. By working with Kate, I was able to quickly release that tension, feeling confident and clear about the decision I wanted to make to help bring my business to the next income level. She’s a real professional.”
