CEO Mindset drops your friendly neighborhood Leo Weston. Here your
daily dose of hustle and heart. But today we're taking
a step back from the grind. Yeah, because let's face it,
running a business chasing those goals can take its toll. Ever,
(00:25):
felt like you're constantly on high alert, that pressure cookers
simmering just under the surface. You know what I'm talking about, right,
That feeling when emails are piling up, deadlines loom, and
even your morning coffee seems to taste a little bit bitter.
Today we're tackling something crucial, prioritizing mental health in business,
(00:48):
because folks, you can't pour from an empty cup. If
your mind isn't sharp, your energy drained, how can you
truly lead with impact? Now I know what some of
you might be thinking, Leo, this is serious stuff. Business
is about grinding, pushing through the discomfort, and hey, there's
(01:09):
a time and place for that grit. But let me
tell you something. Long term success isn't built on burning
yourself out. It's built on resilience, clarity, and a foundation
of well being. Here are five key takeaways to remember
when it comes to prioritizing your mental health in the hustle. One,
(01:30):
boundaries are your best friend. This one's huge. People. Learn
to say no, no two extra projects, no two late
night emails that can wait until morning, and no to
anything that steals time from self care. Set those boundaries
and stick to them. Treat your mental health like the
(01:53):
valuable asset it is. Two mindfulness matters. Living in a
world of constant distraction, notifications, buzzing emails, pinging news cycles,
spinning at warp speed, take a few minutes each day
to unplug, Breathe deeply and just be present. Meditation, yoga,
(02:17):
even a quiet walk in nature can do wonders for
your mental clarity and focus. Three. Fuel your body, feed
your mind. We're not talking about fad diets or crash
courses here, folks. It's about nourishing yourself with whole foods,
staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep. Think of it as
(02:38):
an investment. Your body is your vessel. Treat it with respect. Four.
Embrace the power of connection. You don't have to go
it alone. Lean on your support network, friends, family, mentors,
even fellow entrepreneurs who understand the grind. Talking things through sharing,
(02:59):
a experiences and building genuine connections can make all the
difference in your well being. Five, Celebrate the small wins.
Success isn't always a giant leap forward. It's often made
up of small victories along the way. Acknowledge those wins,
big or small, and give yourself credit for the hard work.
(03:22):
Remember to enjoy the journey. Now, let me paint you
a picture. You're leading a team through a major project.
Deadline emails are flooding in stakeholders have high expectations, and
pressure is mounting. You're feeling that familiar nod of stress
in your stomach, and your mind starts racing with to dos.
(03:44):

few deep breaths, step away from the screen for five minutes,
Go for a quick walk outside, listen to your favorite song,
whatever helps you reset. When you come back, you're clearer, calmer,
and ready to tackle the challenges with renewed focus. See
