As a serial entrepreneur who\u2019s constantly thinking about building businesses, I\u2019ve always found the relationship between financial<\/em> wellbeing and physical<\/em> wellbeing to be sort of this strange catch-22 situation. When you\u2019re feeling anxious about money, it can take over your life, so exercising is probably one of the last things on your to-do list. But that\u2019s when it\u2019s arguably even more important to work out since it\u2019s critical to take care of yourself when you\u2019re stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My solution for this paradox is to work out with a purpose\u2014literally. Meaning, I try exercise with element of mindfulness, so it\u2019s not just about exercising, it\u2019s about grounding yourself, too. Since the pandemic started, the biggest \u201cwellness thing\u201d I do for myself is taking my dogs for a walk every day. It may sound like such a small act, but when you\u2019re the founder of a brand or business, it\u2019s easy to not be your own person because practically everything you do is for your company. So not thinking about anything other than walking the dogs is one of the few things that you can truly do for yourself. Turns out that dog walking can be a mindful act if you make it one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that same note, I also love workouts like The Class<\/a>, which (in their words) is a \u201ccathartic workout experience that guides you to strengthen the body and notice the mind to restore balance.\u201d You basically repeat one move during a song to wake up your body and ground yourself in your thoughts. The exercises are familiar\u2014like squats, jumping jacks and burpees\u2014but the idea is to not only build physical strength, but also clear your head for mental strength. They have a digital studio now, so all you need is a mat to stream a session at home. Ultimately, mindful exercising is efficient\u2014you\u2019re getting two things out of a single activity. And if that\u2019s not a hallmark of a time- and finance-concerned entrepreneur, I don\u2019t know what is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
