Starting a business is hard on the mind and body. You have to get and retain customers while running the business and attempting to have a life outside of work. We’ve compiled a list of five ways to help combat stress.

Key Takeaways:

• Many have experienced the benefits of meditation, but its greater benefit is its ability to affect your thinking patterns long-term.
• Sometimes the best way to de-stress is to avoid it in the first place by not filling your plate up with too much to do. When you become overwhelmed, your stress levels soar.
• Exercise is a wonderful way to reduce stress. Not only that, it makes you more physically healthy also.

“Meditation will exercise your mind, but you should also be engaging in regular exercise as well. Just staying active will increase pleasure hormones in your body and reduce feelings of stress, so keep a regular exercise regimen. Walking or jogging can be an excellent way to blow off steam.”
