As an entrepreneurial empowered business woman, you know the thrill of success—building your dreams and reaching milestones that many only picture. Yet, amidst the excitement, it can be easy to lose sight of balance. If you feel the tug of wanting a slower lifestyle while aiming for success, you're not alone.
At Evergreen Table, we understand your distinct challenges. Hi, I'm Shanely the founder of Evergreen Table, my passion is about helping women like you find your balance and pursue a holistic approach to wellness. With a rich background in holistic nutrition, life coaching, hormone coaching, cognitive behavioural therapy, and Ayurvedic practices, I offers tailored guidance for your unique journey toward a fulfilling life.
In this blog, I want to share ten empowering tips that can help you embrace a more balanced lifestyle while still achieving your entrepreneurial ambitions. Let’s take this journey together!
Tips for Entrepreneurial Women Seeking Lifestyle and Success
1. Embrace Mindfulness
Mindfulness is being present. As entrepreneurs, it’s easy to get swept up in tasks and deadlines. Start small—take a few deep breaths or dedicate five minutes to meditation before diving into your day. A study by the University of Massachusetts found that mindfulness training can reduce stress levels by about 32%. This clarity can transform your approach to work, enhancing energy and focus.
2. Prioritise Self-Care
Self-care is truly vital for nurturing your overall health and well-being, especially in our fast-paced world where it's all too easy to overlook our personal needs. It acts as a gentle reminder to take a step back and prioritise yourself, helping to prevent feelings of burnout and stress, particularly for a woman entrepreneur trying to juggle it all. By embracing simple, soothing activities like a warm bath or a step out in nature for a walk, you can rejuvenate your spirit, breathe deeply and lay a strong foundation for both personal and professional growth. Incorporating self-care into your daily routine, whether through mindfulness practices, engaging in hobbies, or connecting with loved ones, can significantly enhance your emotional support and mental health. Think of it as an investment in your future happiness and success—one that you truly deserve.
3. Set Boundaries
Protecting your time is vital as a successful entrepreneur. Learn to say no politely to commitments that don’t reflect your goals. Harvard Business Review found that setting clear boundaries can help reduce burnout by more than 20%. This will allow you to focus on what truly matters, ensuring that you maintain a healthy work-life balance.
4. Cultivate a Supportive Community
Surround yourself with positive influences. Join networking groups or connect with fellow women entrepreneurs who share your values, maybe join one of our RETREATS to truly disconnect and reset, recharge and reconnect. A community offers encouragement, accountability, and fresh ideas, making your journey feel less isolating.
5. Nourish Your Body
The foods you consume influence your energy and overall health. Emphasise whole, nutrient-dense foods. For example, adding more vegetables and proteins can enhance your energy levels. A recent article from the Harvard Health Publishing associated whole foods with enhanced cognitive function. As a qualified holistic nutritionist, we can provide personalised strategies to fuel your body, supporting your entrepreneurial and personal lifestyle goals and aspirations.
6. Incorporate Movement
Regular physical activity benefits both your body and mind. Whether you prefer yoga, dancing, or hiking, find activities you enjoy. The American Psychological Association indicates that just 30 minutes of physical activity can boost your mood and reduce stress. Making movement a routine part of your day can enhance your overall well-being.
7. Practice Gratitude
Gratitude is a potent way to shift your perspective. Spend a few minutes each day reflecting on what you appreciate in your life, both personally and professionally. Research shows that practicing gratitude can improve your mental health and increase happiness by 25%, by keeping a gratitude journal for up to three weeks. This simple practice helps cultivate positivity and fulfilment.
8. Create a Vision Board
Visualising your dreams can truly boost your motivation. Creating a vision board filled with images and quotes that resonate with you serves as a gentle daily reminder of your aspirations. According to Forbes, one in five successful entrepreneurs incorporate vision boards when embarking on their business journeys. Remarkably, around 76% of them have noticed that their progress beautifully aligns with their visions. Furthermore, 82% of these small business owners have accomplished more than half of their business goals since they began. Consider placing your vision board in a prominent spot where you can see it often. This way, you'll stay inspired and connected to your dreams as you navigate your unique journey.
9. Seek Professional Guidance
At times, the most effective way to move forward is to seek advice from a professional. At Evergreen Table, we provide personalised coaching to meet your unique goals.
