Roger Corbin’s Recommendations for Keeping a Healthy Mind
Roger Corbin’s Recommendations for Keeping a Healthy MindDepression, anxiety and panic disorder are increased in the entrepreneur
It’s been reported that one in three entrepreneurs work more than 50 hours per week. Anxiety and panic are driven by fear and feeling trapped. The thought processes and worry can be tangential with little evidence to support the thought. But the thought can feel very real. The question becomes: Is the thought coming from logic and rational thinking or is it a self-developed thought based on emotions?
Balancing thoughts with evidence is the antidote to conquering fear which is the catalyst for anxiety and panic.
Learning has emerged as a coping strategy
Learning new things gives a deep motivation and reward that seems to suit the entrepreneur’s personality traits. When entrepreneurs have high resources and a thirst for learning and development they tend to thrive under a high load of work and pressure. The learning process brings a sense of excitement and aliveness.
Findings from a short study indicate that entrepreneurship is a turbulent and emotional journey where emotion regulation, recovery activities and coping strategies can have an impact both on the entrepreneur’s wellbeing and the company’s success.
The successful entrepreneur takes time to address both mental health and physical well-being.
Conclusion
The journey to success is not merely about business acumen but also about fostering resilience and prioritizing self-care. Roger Corbin’s insights remind us of the importance of balancing the relentless pursuit of goals with moments of reflection and self-awareness.
