Discover practical strategies for managing loneliness and stress in entrepreneurship with Daytona therapist Dr. Abisoye Somorin of Evencare Psychiatric and Wellness.
Entrepreneurialism and remote work can be exhilarating adventures, but they can also bring unique challenges, particularly in terms of mental health wellness. As part of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re shining a light on the often-overlooked challenges that can profoundly impact professionals’ well-being and productivity.
In our ongoing series exploring the intersection of mental health and entrepreneurialism, together with mental health counselor Dr. Abisoye Somorin of Evencare Psychiatric and Wellness, we delve into two critical challenges that often go hand in hand: isolation and stress management.
Join us as we explore the impact of loneliness on mental health and uncover Dr. Abi’s practical strategies for navigating stress in the demanding world of entrepreneurship and remote work.
Dr. Abi’s Recommendations for Keeping a Healthy Business Mind
We asked Dr. Abi to identify the most commonly overlooked challenges with entrepreneurship and wellness, and what to do about it. These were his responses:
Isolation and Loneliness
Entrepreneurship and remote working often means a solitary journey that can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. Because we are social beings, remote working and entrepreneurship, in general, sometimes makes the physical interaction piece challenging [with notable exceptions for members of the Ripple Coworking community, of course]. This has a significant impact on mental health which can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and decreased motivation.
Managing Stress Levels
Often, entrepreneurs and remote professionals face high levels of stress due to the demands of their work. This is so true especially for the small business owners who are the CEO-of-Everything. They may overlook the importance of effective stress management which can lead to burnout, decreased productivity, and even mental health issues such as anxiety or depression. Professionals can benefit from implementing stress-management techniques such as regular exercise, mindfulness, and setting boundaries.
Conclusion
Isolation and stress are two commonly overlooked challenges in entrepreneurship and remote work that can have serious consequences for your wellness. Managing and prioritizing mental health is a necessary skill to sustain success and well-being. With insights from Dr. Abisoye Somorin, professionals can cultivate a healthy environment that’s conducive for personal and professional growth.
