The SOS Bookkeeping team know that when you’re busy running a business, it can be easy to overlook your own wellbeing and mental health.
Stress can have a serious effect on your ability to function and you can’t make consistently good decisions and lead your team if you’re under a weight of pressure or struggling with poor mental or physical health.
Here are some tips for being resilient in the face of challenges and effective ways to support your own well-being from the SOS Bookkeeping team.
Dealing with pressure
There are 3 key steps to handling a tough situation:
1. Recognise – take a step back to work out what’s causing the issue, whether the situation is exceptional or something that regularly causes problems.
2. Respond – try to respond when you are calm, can triage the situation, and decide if you can handle things with extra effort or assistance, or if you need more help to navigate a solution. Sometimes, If a situation is toxic or unsustainable, walking away may be the best option.
3. Developing resilience – Research shows there are a lot of things you can do to build resilience, both physical and mental. Getting regular exercise, ensuring you eat and sleep well, and making sure your work practices are safe will help minimise stress and your ability to deal with it.
