If you’re a business owner struggling with your own thought process, or you’re looking to boost the productivity and mental wellbeing of your team, then mindfulness and coaching may rightly be at the forefront of your mind.
Working in any industry can be tough… our professional lives inevitably come with rises and falls, success and failures; they’re all a part of the ride. Often, business owners get bogged down with the extremes of this rollercoaster, which impacts their own progress, and that of their employees, without them even realising.
Thankfully, the team at BrainSparx, including its Founder, The Brain Whisperer (Anthony Webb), know what this struggle can look like and, most importantly, how to address it.
The misconceptions of owning your own business
People often assume that running your own business consists of entirely positive experiences. You are assumed to have luxuries, financial rewards, freedom, status, and the ability to do what you want, when you want, which is hugely appealing to every working professional. Although, if you’ve ever dipped your toes into business management, you’ll know this isn’t the case at all…
Staying at the top of your game whilst trying to juggle managerial responsibilities and enjoy a fulfilling personal life can be overwhelming. Those on the outside looking in don’t realise the struggle of separating business and family, keeping financial affairs separate from personal affairs, and ensuring that your employees are happy, healthy, and looked after.
Do you need mindfulness and coaching?
Sometimes, when you’re go, go, go, you don’t recognise that you need to reset your mind and way of thinking. Some of the most common, tell-tale signs are the following:
- Feeling like you’re walking around in a daze or on autopilot.
- Constantly worrying about the future and what it holds.
- Unable to think about things clearly/never having a clear head.
- A lack of motivation.
- Being angry or despondent.
- Feeling overwhelmed with your business and your responsibilities, or just life in general.
Mindfulness and coaching for business owners
The first step on your mindfulness journey is to identify that it’s time for a change. If you’re reading this, it’s likely you’ve already done that! It’s important to remember that you’re not the first person who has been in this position and, luckily, thanks to people who have experienced this in the past, you can adopt well-developed strategies to help you cope.
The Brain Whisperer, for example, has reached a point of feeling utterly overwhelmed himself. For years, Anthony flourished professionally, running a successful company with top selling-products in stores across the world. However, this didn’t equal happiness. Eventually, Anthony decided to walk away from his businesses and start afresh; now, he has used his expertise to cultivate a programme for others struggling – BrainSparx. Ant understands business, staffing issues, and other business restraints; this confidential service helps business owners discuss and address challenges they’re facing. The Brain Whisperer can work with you to understand your concerns and take ownership of where you want to be.
Workplace Mental Wellbeing
The mental wellbeing of your team should a top priority when running any company. A happy and content team can improve overall productivity by 12% and reduce absenteeism; ultimately, research has also shown that employees thrive when working in an open and accepting workplace.
Over recent months, workplaces have seen a lot of change. From staff changes to working from home, video conference calls becoming the norm, having to comply with new rules, and more, significant adjustments like these can affect your team. It may be time to sit down and address any mental wellbeing concerns, offering support and reassurance.
One great way to do this is through mindfulness and coaching workshops, like the one The Brain Whisperer has created. These workshops cover vital subjects surrounding how to improve your thought process and adapt it to your working environment. This leaves attendees with an increased awareness of how we operate as human beings, how actions affect others, and how we can take ownership of our thoughts and actions.
