Small Business Coach: Revive Yourself By Being Present!

Lisa Murray - Sunday, September 21, 2008
Often as small business owners, we have so much happening in our business and our life that we almost forget to breathe!  As a small business coach, I recommend to my clients that they revitalize their energy by simply becoming conscious and present in the moment.

Being conscious indicates you are acting with awareness of your environment, you are awake, you are acting with intention, you are mindful.  In other words, you are present in the here and now. 

Being present has three major advantages: firstly, you’ll hear your intuition more clearly. Secondly, what you desire will come to you because you’re actually here to receive it. Lastly, you’ll escape from the pressures of overwhelm and overdrive as you will be living only in this moment – not in the hours, days, weeks or months ahead! Remember, your life happens in each moment – make the most of it. At the risk of being morbid, you don’t know if it will be your last!

Therefore, in the moments when overwhelm threatens to send you over the edge, it can be very helpful to take just a few minutes to do something which will bring you back to awareness of the present moment… Here are my top three tools for becoming present right now.

+ Breathe deeply for 10 – 15 breaths, do nothing except notice what is happening in your body – if it hurts anywhere, breathe into those spots to release the tension.

+ If your ‘small business owner’ mindchatter will not leave you alone, carry a notebook and just keep writing everything into it.  The more you put on paper, the less your mind will need to keep thinking about it. You can summarise the good ideas at the end of each week and schedule them for action.

+ To feel a sense of achievement, focus on just one idea, one email, one person, one meeting, one project at a time, and give it quality time.  Multi-tasking is a productivity myth which only keeps you away from being in the moment!

When I am coaching small business owners, I often find that they have become so busy doing that they are not living (being) the idyllic life they set up the business to achieve. If you desire to enjoy the benefits of living in the present moment, then fast does not always equal fabulous! 

What else can you do to ensure you enjoy each and every moment? If you need more ideas on improving your life as a small business owner, contact Lisa Murray to arrange for a free 30 minute exploratory coaching session.
