Below are three easy ways for entrepreneurs to take care of themselves:
1. Get outside.
Studies have shown conclusively that nature reduces stress. A 20 minute walk after lunch can lower your cortisol levels, and increase your energy, giving you a positive boost to finish the day.
2. Eat Healthy.
Brain functioning, energy levels and positive hormones are all increased by a well-balanced diet. The time commitment comes in the morning before you leave, but a salad, some protein and yummy crackers will get you through the day, and give you the ability to stay focused longer.
