As a busy entrepreneur, the last thing on your mind is likely how you can fit in more exercise. However, it is important to practice self-care and work out your body and mind whenever you can so that you can feel better overall and be less stressed. Here at 532Yoga, we love to help people relax and feel better, so we want to tell you some other ways that you can fit in self-care even during big projects and busy days.

Organize Your Email and Use a PDF Editor to Save Time

One way to practice self-care as an entrepreneur is to put a system in place so that you can save time and not be so busy and anxious during the workday. You can save a lot of time by automating many of your processes. So, you can set up your invoices and bill payments to automatic autopay, set up daily and weekly reminders about important tasks on your phone, and create all of your social media posts at the beginning of the month so you don’t have to return to the task time and time again.

Many entrepreneurs waste a lot of time by digging through their email accounts to find past documents and new data. Instead of frantically trying to find that one message, you can instead quickly save it as a PDF. The process is simple. You just click on the email you need and choose the print icon. When the new box comes up, choose to print it as a PDF. Then you can file it in a safe place so you can find it when necessary. Plus, you can easily edit the PDF document as needed by using this tool.

Declutter Your Space to Relieve the Tension

If you work from your house but find that you are constantly stressed, then you need to look around at your home environment. Organized Interiors notes that if your house is messy or lacking organization then it could be what is putting you and your family on edge. When our space is cluttered, it makes us feel like we are losing control of our surroundings and our lives, so you need to clean up and restore order to your home. 

Go through every room in your house and separate the items that you like from the stuff that you no longer need and donate it to a local charity. If your desk is covered with stacks of paperwork then consider scanning all of those documents into your computer and shredding paper to keep it secure. You should also open the doors and let in some natural light and fresh air so you can breathe easier and gain a better focus on your work.

Work Out in the Mornings

If you are just too busy during the day to exercise then you should modify your routine. The easiest way to do so is to set your alarm so that you wake up at least 30 minutes earlier and make that your exercise time. You only need about 30 minutes of exercise a day to keep your body in good shape and to get the blood flowing for the day. Plus, your workout time is a great chance to clear your head and relieve some of the stress of the week.

​Practice Meditation or Yoga

Sometimes, lifting weight just isn’t enough to put you at ease. If that is the case, then Mayo Clinic suggests doing something more thought-provoking like practicing yoga or meditation. Both activities can be very gratifying and they help you to focus on your breathing, which is great for relieving stress.

As you can see, there are many different ways that you can implement self-care into your busy schedule. By clearing your house of clutter, finding time to exercise, and using time-saving tips like editing PDFs, you can feel better and get more work done.
