Grounding Myself

 Life is full of hills with ups, downs and long stretches yet even during the flat planes, it can still feel overwhelming! With as much as I’ve got going on in my life at this present moment, my anxiety level is sky-high! (literally I have over 2000 sports bras kicking it in my office right now) It is my MO to let things feel like they are out of control until I seek a remedy.  VA is actually up and selling as of last week, my husband and I need to finish the upstairs add on so we can get financial help through a renter, my three year old has speech every friday with homework, my full time job as a Vet Tech takes my full attention Sun through Wed!  

     Quick Tip: 09.11.18Follow this 3-step process to manage a small business while working full time.

BY MAURIE BACKMAN—THE MOTLEY FOOL3 MINUTE READ

These days, it’s not uncommon for workers to hold down more than one job. In fact, as of late last year, an estimated 44 million Americans had some sort of side hustle on top of their full-time positions. But while it’s one thing to swing a second gig that takes up a few hours a week, it’s another thing to actually manage a business while attempting to hold down a completely separate role.

Why might you put yourself through that sort of grind and not just focus on the business itself? For one thing, that move might not be financially viable. If your business is new and not yet generating revenue, you might need the income from your other job to pay the bills. Furthermore, if your employer generously subsidizes your health insurance plan, that’s reason enough to push yourself to keep that job, all the while managing your own business. Still, overseeing a small business while working another job is no easy feat, so here are some tips for making sure you’re able to handle both obligations.

1. GET ORGANIZED

2. OUTSOURCE YOUR BUSINESS TASKS AS NEEDED

3. MAP OUT A PLAN FOR TRANSITIONING INTO BEING A FULL-TIME SMALL BUSINESS OWNER

     I love looking up these blog subjects on the internet, it gives me so much info for my own situation!  Besides learning some tips on handling a full time occupation and a start-up I need anxiety relief on the stress and worry of life situations now!  My company’s future, my 3yr olds well being and my financial state with a whole new mortgage! I reached out to my doTERRA advocate ( Also my cousin!) and confided in her all my woes and worries!  She always gives me sound good advise and oils to diffuse or ingest to help with my present situation. Today I diffused my new Adaptive blend and black spruce (which is a grounding blend). I went to the doTERRA Orange County mini convention and got the kit only sold there, it contained adaptive capsules/roller/and bottle, copaiba capsules/oil which all help with anxiety. I have been using all of these for the last 5 days and I have decided to take one day at a time in this business adventure and treat it as such, an adventure!  For the last 2 days I can honestly say I feel better!

      Quick Tip:Adaptiv Calming Blend oil is perfect for life’s most stressful moments. Useful when a big meeting is coming up, or for other important events, Adaptiv Calming Blend helps improve sustained attention while easing the body and mind.When stress and tension seem to be relentless, Adaptiv Calming Blend is the precise solution. Use Adaptiv to help get comfortable with new surroundings or situations. When a big meeting is coming up, or for other important events, keep Adaptiv Calming Blend on hand.

Lavender, Magnolia, Neroli, and Sweetgum provide stress-relieving effects while Wild Orange and Spearmint energize and uplift. Copaiba and Rosemary soothe anxious feelings to round out the calming blend. Whether you’re feeling fatigued or restless, indecisive or irritable, Adaptiv Calming Blend is part of the toolbox to help the body and mind to stay balanced. Use Adaptiv Calming Blend in combination with the Adaptiv capsules for synergistic results. :Uses

• Diffuse the oil in a room diffuser to promote a centered and calm mindset.
• Apply one drop to hands, rub together, and inhale deeply as needed throughout the day.

     I also was reminded by a very wise person to pray!  Duh how did I forget the most important pertinent action I could take!  Praying to God whether I need something or I just want to give thanks for a beautiful new home, healthy gorgeous 3yr old, and a whole new chapter in my life! I truly am grateful for my wonderful life!  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
