The entrepreneurial life keeps you on your toes. Being a founder, it's hard to maintain a work-life balance. When you choose work, meetings, deals, and plans over meals, physical exercise, personal time, and sound sleep, the boundaries are constantly blurred.
While the euphoria of being your boss is captivating, working non-stop without taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental health is not durable. One cannot reach their full potential with headaches, back pain, depression, and anxiety resulting from sheer ignorance.
Your business is affected by the kind of decisions you make daily. A disturbed mind and an unhealthy body are inhospitable in making the best of the choices. In turn, your enterprise pays the price.
In our research conducted at NumroVani, the founder's well-being is directly proportional to employees' productivity due to the cascading effect of culture.
The secret formula to enjoying a work-life balance and keeping healthy despite working long hours daily is to include physically and mentally rejuvenating activities in your daily routine. This is where Yoga, Meditation, and Sound Therapy come to the rescue by bringing consistency to your inconsistent professional life and breathing new life into your relationships.
As per the principles of 'zero numerology' and research conducted at NumroVani, when a holistic lifestyle regimen is personalized, i.e., selected based on the person's date of birth and name, its overall effect on the person is 3X to those of general ones.
How do Yoga, Meditation, and Sound Therapy help entrepreneurs and founders stabilize their life?
No, taking care of your mental, physical and emotional health doesn't result in skyrocketing revenue. You will still face challenges in your business. However, a fit body and peaceful mind will give you the right approach to solve everyday issues with ease and come up with new ideas and the energy to execute your plans.
Today's founders and entrepreneurs are aware of the benefits of leading a healthy team. Unfortunately, their definition of health is limited to walking, running, or spending an hour in the gym. This keeps their mental and emotional health unattended. To achieve proactive well-being and stay at the top of your game at work, one must benefit from the combined power of yoga, meditation, and sound therapy.
Yoga -
The ancient yoga practice unites your body, mind, and spirit, allowing you to strengthen your emotional and physical well-being. It is also considered a way to tap into your spirituality by connecting with the universal consciousness. Yoga involves moderate to advanced postures and breathing techniques for a composed mind and healthy living. Apart from helping delay the ageing process, it is also a great stress-buster.
Meditation-
Meditation is the process of training your mind to practice focus, attention, and living in the present moment. It allows you to enjoy some moments of calm and peace away from your every day worries. At the end of the session, one attains a light mindset and feels emotionally stable. It also reduces the symptoms of high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, anxiety, and other chronic conditions.
Sound Therapy-
Sound Therapy is a therapeutic way to achieve a deep state of relaxation and improved physical health with the help of the vibrations of music. One can benefit from this either with personalized expert-guided sessions or binaural beats. It boosts the immune system, improves emotional balance, fills you with the zeal to keep going, and transforms your mental state from chaos to serene calm within a matter of minutes.
