3 Ways to Alleviate Holiday Pressure as a Business Owner

Ginny Hicks • December 18, 2019

During the holiday season we have pressure coming from all angles, joints, and muscles. From gift giving with a modest budget, coordinating holiday activities, and maintaining end of year business goals, life can get hectic. Maybe our secret multitasking superpower comes out during this season or maybe we’re always this good but one thing’s for sure, if you don’t make time for yourself, you won’t be able to keep up with everything around you. Here are 3 ways to alleviate holiday pressure as a business owner. 

A lucrative business starts with an organized mind 

Your business is your livelihood, without an organized business there is no cash flow for holiday activities. As a business owner, it’s familiar territory wanting to control all aspects of your business, down to the fine minutiae. That’s all well and good, however, as the year is coming to a close, it’s time to look big picture. Reassess your operations and determine processes that no longer serve you. If you have employees, become the delegation queen or king. If you’re owning a business by yourself, take time to reevaluate your internal system and embrace new ways. 

Pay attention to body pain and seek message therapy

External pressure can build tension within the body and materialize into serious issues. You might be thinking, “Get a massage? Say no more…” Massage therapy is more than a way to alleviate pressure, there are long term benefits to regular massage work. You may not notice immediate pain day-to-day by the way you sit, lift heavy materials, or hold your posture, however incorrect form in any of these areas long term can damage your body. Taking care of yourself first will allow you to take care of others. 

Inner balance brings more holiday cheer 

It may take a bit more than holiday music to bring about holiday cheer. With a busy schedule it’s hard to find balance and provide the energy that everyone around you needs. In the morning before you pick up your phone and check emails, check in with yourself and take a moment to establish intentions. A clear mind allows you to make better informed decisions and channel your energy. 

This holiday season take time for mind, body, and spirit before checking off the next holiday to do.  

Prioritize your business and well-being so you can provide for others.
