This morning, I checked my usual health-related blog resources to see what’s new in the nutrition world. I had already written the recipe I was going to post on the WellnessCoach.com blog, but when I saw Dr. Mercola’s post today, featuring the Gratitude Dance video, I couldn’t resist. Seems like the Gratitude Dance is the best recipe I could ever give you for increasing your entrepreneurial wellness level this week.

As entrepreneurs, the studies may be right and we may have to manage ambiguity and the potential for anxiety that comes with the territory. We may have a statistically increased likelihood of dealing with stress-related health challenges. But the good news is: there are many avenues and options available to us in our on-going wellness journeys.

From a wide array of meditation practices, nutritional supplements, exercise programs, and health practitioners (that range from chiropractic and acupuncture to therapeutic massage and osteopathy), the possibilities are endless. Of course, endless possibilities mean making decisions.

Lest those endless possibilities have you drowning in indecision, I hope today’s post serves as a lifesaver.

*****************
Back in the day, (while in his 20’s), my husband, Steve, was a commercial whitewater rafting guide with a company called All Outdoors (AO). Thirty years later, the love of rushing rivers still runs in Steve’s blood. And even though he runs two entrepreneurial businesses, he makes time for an annual whitewater trip to soothe his soul. Rafting’s a big part of his wellness equation.

Steve has his own whitewater raft and gear and takes a group of friends down the South Fork of the American River each summer. When he does, it’s a full-blown professional event. By that I mean it isn’t a bunch of guys with cans of beer playing around on the river without a clue. Nope. Steve is still the consummate rafting professional and runs his day-long adventures for his “crew” the same way he would have on a commercial trip with AO.

With a healthy respect for the power of Mother Nature, Steve feels quite strongly about safety on the river. While the inflated raft sits ready on the river, he has his crew stay shore-bound and listen to his “Safety Rap.” No one gets a paddle until they have life vests on and know exactly what to do in the event of a whitewater emergency.

One of the most important tips Steve gives in his “Safety Rap” is this:

“If the boat flips and you fall out of the raft, you could come up under the boat. If so, put your arms overhead, against the bottom of the raft. ‘Walk’ your hands along the bottom of the boat – but pick one direction and stick with it until you come out to one side. It’s a 16-foot raft and it can seem endless and overwhelming. If you go back and forth without ever choosing one direction, you’ll never come up for air. Remember: we can’t pick you up unless you do.” – Steve Krieger, from a recent rafting trip

When it comes to your wellness program (or your own business for that matter):

• Where are you drowning in indecision?
• If you just put your hands up against the bottom of the boat, which direction will you choose right now?
• When will you take action?

Pick one small step. Take it soon. Then climb into the blog boat and keep us posted.

The Digestion Metaphor for Entrepreneurs Revisited
The last two posts have focused on the following wellness affirmation and have provided tips for applying it to your entrepreneurial body and business:

“My intake, assimilation and elimination are in Divine Order.”

So…moving right along with this three-part article, let’s turn our attention to the third part of the metaphor – the process of “moving right along” (a.k.a. elimination) and the roll it plays in our bodies and our businesses.

Spotlight on Elimination
for Body Wellness
Regular exercise, meditation, relaxation, and healthy diets that include lots of fiber and water all help our bodies eliminate what is no longer needed. This process of elimination is no more and no less important in our digestive health than intake or assimilation. And just like the other pieces of the equation, it is critical to our wellbeing.

Dr. Andrew Weil wrote a fabulous article on the subject, with tips, actions, and supplements to help keep your body “moving right along.” Check it out here:

http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/ART00677/digestive-health

Try This:

Fill a clear glass pitcher with at least eight 8-oz glasses of fresh water. Add lemon or cucumber slices. Notice the simple beauty and make a mental note that this water will aid in your digestive wellness. Stop throughout your day and with gratitude, drink to your health.

Spotlight on Elimination for Business Wellness
As it does with our bodies, the process of elimination in our businesses needs to be a regular activity. We can sometimes forget that in order to make room for new ideas, new things, new relationships, and new clients, we may have to let go of some of our old things, relationships and clients. Taking time to prune and eliminate weeds that have grown in our businesses is just as important as planting new seeds.

A daily or weekly practice of eliminating junk mail, old email that has stacked up in that in-box, and magazine stacks may already be a part of your regular routine. Do you do the same with outdated ideas, processes, methods, or systems? Do you review them and toss those that no longer serve you?

Try This:
Taking time to identify what can be eliminated is an invaluable activity. Slow down enough this week to do so. Over a tall, cool glass of that water you poured for yourself, take note of your:

Things
– what has served me well but is no longer useful here?
– what nine items from my office can I toss out this week? (this is a feng shui practice and great to do routinely)
– what can I give away?

Procedures
– how do I deal with proposals, phone calls, marketing, invoices, accounting? Are my methods and procedures serving me? Does any method or procedure need to be tossed out and a new one developed?

Relationships
– what needs to be eliminated when it comes to my relationships with vendors, clients, or staff?
– what do I need to stop doing I these relationships? (there is always a “stop doing” on the other side of a “start doing” – what is it? Stop procrastinating? Stop pretending? Stop tolerating?)

I think entrepreneurs can get so busy deciding what we need to start doing, we can forget about the process of elimination. Yet just like the other components of the Digestion metaphor, elimination plays a critical role in entrepreneurial wellness:

“My intake, assimilation and elimination are in Divine Order.”

May your body and business be in Divine Order.

I’d like to continue the discussion of how your individual wellness and the wellness of your entrepreneurial venture are linked more closely than you may realize. Today, I’ll take the second piece of the Digestion metaphor and offer some tips for applying the wisdom to your business and body.

The Digestion Metaphor Revisited
Yesterday, I introduced this affirmation for physiological digestion and suggested you consider applying it not only to your body but to your business:

“My intake, assimilation and elimination are in Divine Order.”

Today, I want to direct your focus to the second piece of the Digestion metaphor – Assimilation.

Spotlight on Assimilation in the Body
When it comes to our bodies, we know intuitively that going for a jog right after we have eaten a meal is not the best idea. We know this not just because we heard someone advise against it – we know it because it just doesn’t feel great to run, swim or workout immediately after eating.

That feeling of fullness is designed to serve a purpose. It keeps us from stuffing ourselves (well, if we heed it) and it keeps us from immediately doing physically vigorous work (again, if we heed it). It does so to give our bodies a chance to assimilate what it has just taken in – a chance to make optimal use of the fuel we have just provided.

I think it’s interesting to note that we really don’t have to do anything consciously for assimilation to take place within our bodies (short of not going out for that 5k run.) All we have to do is to trust the internal process and let the body do its work.

Try This:

After eating lunch or dinner, take an “assimilation time out.” Sit for just a moment longer than you usually do after eating. Close your eyes and put your attention on your digestive tract and belly. Breathe deeply. Silently thank your body for the incredible job it is doing to process the food you have just provided it. Thank your body for converting the meal you just ate into high-performance fuel to let you go about the business and life you love.

Spotlight on Assimilation in your Business
When it comes to business, I think many entrepreneurs have become numb to the feeling of fullness. Actually, maybe numb isn’t the right word. Many of us have just become occasional, or chronic, experts at denial when it comes to having our entrepreneurial plates too full and often not taking time for assimilation.

Years ago, when I first started doing executive coaching by phone, I used to set aside and then book one full day of back-to-back sessions each week. I’d stop between each call long enough for quick restroom breaks, drink water while at my desk, take time before the next call came in to stretch my muscles and ate a healthy lunch I’d prepared the night before. At the end of the day, I’d spend an hour or so sorting through my notes, updating client files and closing up shop. I truly thought I was covering all my bases.

But after a few months of this weekly full-day routine, I started feeling something was missing. My clients were getting great results, so it wasn’t that. But I felt empty. Some introspection time later, I figured it out. I felt empty because I hadn’t been taking the time to get nourished from the process of my work. I hadn’t assimilated what had transpired for me as a coach in each call.

I began to see my need to take a good half hour break between each call. I switched things around. I started a bit earlier and went a bit later each day, but I found I actually had more meaningful time…time just for me to stop, go outside, take a breath of fresh air, and let the experience of the last call wash over me. Time to reflect on the skills I’d used, or the mirror that the client was for me, or what I’d learned in the process of providing service during the last call. Throughout the day, I was taking the time to assimilate my experience. I continue this practice today. For me, the assimilation process is a big part of my definition of wellness.

Try This:
Find your own way to assimilate your daily experience as an entrepreneur. For my husband, who also runs his own business, the end of the day works just fine for him as a period for assimilation. My colleague, Joe, keeps a journal by his desk and jots notes throughout the day of his key business insights. Actively experiment this week and find or refine a practice that works best for you. Maybe the end of the day is right for you – maybe taking time to go for a walk or workout while you actively mull over what you learned for the day will help you put the day into perspective and give you time to assimilate all that has transpired.

Remember that assimilation time is more than just time to unwind. It is time for your business being to make the most of all you have taken in for the day – a balanced component of the Digestion metaphor:

“My intake, assimilation and elimination are in Divine Order.”

What does digestion have to do with running a small business? Plenty! In the next three posts, I’ll explain how your individual wellness and the wellness of your entrepreneurial venture are linked more closely than you may realize. Today, I’ll share the metaphor and tips for working with the first of the metaphor’s three components.

The Digestion Metaphor
During nutrition school, I overheard a colleague discuss her protocol for clients dealing with digestive challenges. In addition to dietary changes and supplements, she recommended her clients use this affirmation to help keep their focus on a healthy digestive tract:

“My intake, assimilation and elimination are in Divine Order.”

I recently got to thinking how much this affirmation applies not just to our physiological digestion but, as entrepreneurs, to our businesses.

Just think about that affirmation for a minute: “My intake, assimilation and elimination are in Divine Order.” What a grand intention for a small business owner to hold! What a difference it could make in our business lives if we kept our “intake”, “assimilation” and “elimination” in Divine Order!

Application to Business
Breaking the affirmation down into bite-sized pieces will help make it useful. Take a look at the three components individually:

Intake: in the world of physiological digestion, intake refers literally to what we take into our bodies. As a business metaphor, it refers to all the things we take in as small business owners: new clients, email, snail mail, ideas, information from the internet and this blog☺, handwritten messages, marketing material from others, invoices, books, phone calls, text messages, new supplies, new equipment, audio and DVD material, and customer feedback (positive and/or negative).

Assimilation: in the world of physiology, assimilation refers to how our bodies break down food and liquid into the components it will use for fuel. As a business metaphor, it also refers to our ability to extract the business fuel from what is before us and put it to good use. Assimilation requires our attention. Our time. It requires sorting, extracting useful information, and making small or large shifts based on new information. This can be a challenge when we try to take it all in – to take in all the email, all the new blog posts we see, all the phone calls, all the new communication that comes our way. Assimilating means making sense of information and ideas, putting them to good use, and getting the most from each thing we attend to – (i.e. assimilating the new tax laws that my CPA just told me about.)

Elimination: in both the physiological and business worlds, this means getting rid of what no longer serves us after we have taken all that has been useful. Perhaps you clipped an article from a journal. Now you toss the journal. Maybe you implemented a new marketing technique and joined a networking group. It served you well last year. This year, it’s no longer the right vehicle. You stop your membership. As a business owner, you can eliminate: antiquated systems, books and materials, equipment, clients, staff members, procedures, and even attitudes that no longer move your business forward.

As entrepreneurs, we took a big bite out of life when we set up our own businesses. We need to be sure to manage that bite well. We need to be sure that the intake, assimilation and elimination of our businesses are in Divine Order. We need to be sure our bodies are in that same Divine Order. Over the next three days, I’ll give you some tips for all three components involved in both body and business wellness. It all starts with intake.

Intake – Focus on Your Business
Today, spend some time thinking about all you take in as an entrepreneur. By taking in, I mean all the things you fold into your business life each day. This can be an overwhelming task, so go slow. Chances are, many things are coming in to your business at high volume and a fast pace. Simply notice your intake. Take time out to list or just notice the things you take in each day. Glance at all you take in – a message on a scrap of paper, a business card, or your email in-box. Breathe. Glance at something else you take in – papers in your in-box, notes by your phone, or books on your book shelf. Breathe. And notice something else. This simple act of noticing is a practice in mindfulness for your business.

Now, it wouldn’t surprise me if you told me that your physiological intake (eating) matches the pace of your business intake. If that is a hurry-up-and-eat pace, perhaps it’s also time to take a respite on the physiological front.

Intake – Focus on Your Body
Sometime during the next 24 hours, make time for this juicy dining experience. The experience will be most effective if you can eat alone…preferably in a peaceful setting.

Place the meal in front of you and take a few deep breaths before you pick up your utensils. Take a moment to simply notice the colors of the food on your plate. Take another moment to breathe in the aroma.

Now pick up your fork and arrange your first bite. Take that bite of food into your mouth and immediately place your fork back down on the table. Chew your bite of food completely. Notice the textures and flavors. Savor the bite. When you have swallowed, then go ahead and lift your fork to arrange another bite. As you did before, take in that bite and place the fork back on the table while you chew and savor. Continue in this manner until you are full and satisfied. Take a final moment to just allow the experience to settle in to your bones.

Eating this way is a practice in mindfulness. It can remind us of the many flavors and textures that surround us each day that we let go unnoticed. Intake is the first component of the affirmation for digestive wellness of business and body.

“My intake, assimilation and elimination are in Divine Order.”

I love to say, ”thriving” when someone asks me how my business is going. The notion that things are flourishing, blooming, and prosperous fills me with delight. Likewise, I like to use the same word to describe my health and wellness. “Thriving” seems to capture that top-of-the-world feeling I strive for each day. So when I read the post on Angeles Arrien’s website this past spring, “50 Ways to Thrive and Survive in the Next Ten Years”, you bet it caught my attention.

I chose a few items from the list and implemented them that week. I gave something away, talked to a neighbor, and explored a new walking trail. Doing so truly added to my feelings of wellness and “thriving.”

I’d like to co-create a similar list for entrepreneurs in the WellnessCoach.com community. I’d love you to join me in building the list. Tell me the ways that you increase your sense of wellness and help yourself thrive as an entrepreneur.

Let’s shoot for 52 ways to thrive – that could cover a year’s worth of weekly focal points. I’ll start:

52 Ways for Entrepreneurs to Thrive (The list begins…)

• Put plants in your office, water them often
• Pack your lunch at night; Take it to a nearby park the next day
• Set a kitchen timer to remind you to stand and stretch each hour
• Go barefoot in your office
• Ask for help 3 times this week
• Start a blog
• Visit a toy store at lunch; find something that makes you smile
• Hold a board of directors meeting on a conference line with a few colleagues. Ask them to brainstorm with you on a topic that’s been baffling you
• Expand your community – post to a blog at least once this week
• Write a haiku on your lunch hour
• Take a lunch hour
• Put cucumber slices into a pitcher of water; drink throughout the day
• Give a business book away to someone who might need it
• Breathe. Breathe deeply. Just breathe.
• Revisit your corporate mission and vision; rewrite so it makes you smile and tugs at your heart strings

What will you add to this list?

Are you familiar with the term Stillpoint? It’s often mentioned when discussing forms of body work, including: Osteopathy, Balanced Integrative Therapy, CranioSacral Therapy, and deep tissue massage. The Stillpoint is a phenomenon that occurs during the treatment.

A simple description of the Stillpoint is: the moment (usually toward the last part of a treatment) that the client’s previously active body energy or body rhythm, stops — either on its own or through conscious intent of the practitioner to stop the active rhythm — so the body can reintegrate and assimilate the changes that are being made.

Having experienced many forms of body work, I can tell you that the moment of the Stillpoint is not just palpable by the practitioner, but by the client as well. And whether you have had formal bodywork sessions or not, I know you know this place within you.

Perhaps you experience your personal Stillpoint when you meditate. Maybe you notice it when gazing at a candle, a sunset, your peacefully sleeping children, or while you’re painting, or digging in your garden. I find mine when I meditate, swim or hang out with horses. The Stillpoint moments of life are luscious. Making them a regular part of our wellness programs will renew our busy entrepreneurial spirits.

Manya Arond-Thomas, M.D., a brilliant consultant, (and fortunately for me, a B/Coach colleague of mine from days gone by), wrote a fabulous article back in 2004 called: “The Power of the StillPoint. No matter how much time goes by, reading her article helps me find my own Stillpoint. May it help you do the same.

Perhaps you went from a one-person office to managing a staff of three. Maybe one of your major long-term clients called to say they are moving to Albuquerque and no longer need your services. Or it could be that your spouse’s company announced a merger and move, you both decided to relocate along with them, and now you’re setting up your entrepreneurial shop all over again. Are these opportunities to grow? Sure. But let’s face it. We’re talking about change.

And be it large or small, change is change. Sudden or planned, transitions can be taxing on our nerves and effect our overall well-being. We should know. We are entrepreneurs and dealing with change comes with the territory…but are there basic strategies for coping with it?

When I was 10 years old, we moved from a small town in northern California to New York City. The change of lifestyle was huge and the transition not particularly easy. One day I was walking to school past pastures of cows, going on field trips to the country for picnics and playing in the safety of our suburban cul-de-sac. A week later I was learning how to ride city buses to ballet class and how to focus on my schoolwork with taxi horns blaring outside my classroom window. I missed my friends. I missed petting the horses down the street. I missed the life I knew.

But I was fortunate. My family, the counselors at day camp the first summer, the journal that one of those counselors encouraged me to keep, and the circle of Italian aunts, uncles and grandparents helped ease the transition. Looking back, I see that the support I had was part of the “coping strategy” (of course I didn’t call it that at age 10) that eventually helped me find new friends, enjoy corner grocery stores with penny candy, and be excited rather than reticent of city field trips to the Empire State Building.

From my current vantage point, I clearly see that support from others played a key role in helping me through the transition of that move. And support from others is still the foundation of the strategy I use to this day to help me navigate the changes and transitions of my entrepreneurial life. Here’s the whole list:

7 Tips for Entrepreneurs to Use to Cope with Change and Transition

1. Find a source of support so you can vent. Choose someone or a group of someones to talk to about the change, transition, uncertainty and confusion in your life and ask her/him/them to listen (no problem-solving) without interruption so you can express your thoughts and feelings.

2. Make basic self-care a priority. During this challenging time, make sure you get plenty of sleep, adequate nutritious food (particularly protein), and some kind of physical pampering (massage, acupuncture, pedicure or foot massage) to keep your nervous system balanced.

3. Start a new transitions journal. First vent here. Then, step back from or rise above your situation with an eye for how it could ultimately serve your life. Start with these inquiries: What inner qualities will you develop as you move through this transition? What fears and hurdles will you overcome? If writing isn’t for you, take these inquiries along with you as you move to tip #4.

4. Get outside and witness nature. Go for a walk, a hike, a bike ride. Visit a park and observe the plants, trees, and birds. Notice the ease with which nature moves through transitions and seasons. Know that this ease is in your nature too.

5. Breathe. Take time throughout the day for a few deep breaths. Expand your capacity to do so by moving your shoulders back, straightening your spine, and allowing your belly to be filled as well as your lungs. Give thanks for your breath. It will be with you the entire time you move through this transition. Take comfort in this.

6. Create a confidence file. Make a list of past and recent achievements that reflect your ability to overcome obstacles and challenges and keep it in a folder or on your Blackberry, Treo or computer. The hard file could also contain letters of recommendation, encouraging notes from family and friends, or testimonial letters from clients or other people you’ve helped in the past. Look at this file weekly.

7. Throw lemons. Times of transition call forth many emotions. Sometimes, anger and frustration are the order of the day and we need to find healthy ways of expressing them. When I first learned we were moving to New York when I was a kid, and I was angry at having to do so, my mom handed me a few over-ripe lemons. She encouraged me to go outside (away from anyone else:) and throw the lemons down onto the driveway and watch them go splat! To this day, when all else fails, I will do the same thing. Quite a juicy tension-reliever!

** Bonus tip: Read something inspirational. The comfort of uplifting words will help you navigate the uncertainty of change. See the reading list for some refreshing ideas.

Now Take Action
Circle one, two or three that you are willing to put into practice for a week and go to it. Post a report of your experiences.

Are you an entrepreneur with wellness on your mind? Is your entrepreneurial body, mind and spirit stretched to full capacity with all you have to do? Have you been looking for a collection of practical wellness resources that target the unique needs of entrepreneurs? Look no more. You’ve come to the right place!

Hello and Welcome to the new WellnessCoach.com blog.

Let this be a place for you to take a brief time out from your busy days and grab a bite of refreshment for your entrepreneurial body, mind and spirit.

This blog is for entrepreneurs.

You may be just starting out on your own or be a seasoned professional with more than 20 years under your entrepreneurial belt. You may have a home-based business or have a large office downtown. Your travel itinerary could very well include several international business trips each quarter or it could be limited to a single car trip to the office supply store once a month. And your business may gross $2000 a month or $5 million a year. It matters not. As an entrepreneur, you are in business for yourself and your wellness needs are unique.

Entrepreneurs have distinct wellness needs.

While we do enjoy the freedom and flexibility to set our own paces, those of us who are entrepreneurs also have a higher potential for stress-related health and wellness challenges than those who don’t run their own businesses. While we tend to thrive on doing things our way, we have been known to get burned out by trying to do it all and from trying to do it all alone.

While getting the entrepreneurial plane off the ground in the first place can be exhilarating, it also provides a stressful workout for our adrenal glands. And keeping our enterprise in the air, especially if we are flying completely solo, can be even more taxing on our systems. Yes, when we manage the whole gamut of entrepreneurial responsibilities – from sales to admin, marketing to strategic planning, delivering products and services to computer trouble-shooting – we put great demands on not just our adrenal glands but our overall wellbeing.
