In times of significant uncertainty, whether it is now with the
coronavirus or with more 'typical' concerns such as a
divorce, lawsuit, or making payroll, stress can build
and knock you for a loop. Stress can be very detrimental to your health.
As a small business owner, you are likely better at managing uncertainty than the average person, but it still hits you. Therefore, it is very important to find ways to de-stress that work for you, which stops you from being stressed out and allow you to achieve calm amid the chaos.
Years ago I was starting a new business, selling my home and moving cross-country (from Oakland, CA to Atlanta, GA) all at the same time. I went into the doctor for an annual visit and the nurse freaked out when she took my blood pressure! I was young, in great shape, with a typical blood pressure of 110 /60 so it never even occurred to me that I could develop high blood pressure. It was the stress. I was undergoing so many life changes at the same time.
