It\u2019s exciting with many unexpected <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">twists and turns. Some are exhilarating and have you running off enthusiasm and confidence. Others reveal <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">challenges that can cause your stomach to drop, your confidence to plummet, and your mind to run off the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">rails. The entrepreneurial ride is a mixture of both.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Being able to successfully navigate the mental\/emotional rollercoaster that comes with the entrepreneurial journey is the difference between burnout and truly succeeding with your health, joy, and relationships intact. Having experienced the former and continuously learning and teaching the latter, I can unequivocally say it helps to understand the ride and have tools at the ready!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Understanding the Voice Controlling Your Ride<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As entrepreneurs, we\u2019re so busy trying to anticipate, manage, and lead everything outside of ourselves, it\u2019s easy not to realize it\u2019s the internal voice controlling the joystick. If you\u2019d like to enjoy the ride more, consider <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">making a habit of applying the three simple tools below to have more control over it. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perhaps you\u2019ve noticed that voice in your head \u2013 the worrier, the critic, the voice of doom. Have you observed <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">that it\u2019s particularly loud at the most inopportune times, like when you\u2019re on a deadline, when making an important decision or at 3 a.m. when you need to get good sleep before an important morning meeting? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Believe it or not, the mind is trying to find a solution for you. The problem is it automatically draws from its <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">available materials, the data stored from previous experiences. The greatest influencing factor that colors <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">which experience it draws from is which side of your nervous system is currently engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are operating from your parasympathetic or \u201crestoration and health\u201d side, the thoughts and feelings are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">positive, the mind is calm, and the opportunity for creative solutions to surface is much greater. It\u2019s easy to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">recognize when you\u2019re here \u2013 your overall view is positive even when challenged. You can focus when you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">need to and are engaged and open to others. You\u2019re feeling good, getting good rest, and likely keeping your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">health in the mix of your priorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your nervous system is operating from the sympathetic or \u201cfight\/flight&#8221; or freeze side, it is operating from <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the perspective of threat. The feelings can range from anxiety to overwhelm, and the thoughts are often <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cworst case scenario.\u201d Perhaps you\u2019ve noticed that it starts with one negative thought and the next thing you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">know, it\u2019s\u00a0 running an exhausting monologue of \u201ceverything is horrible.\u201d When this state is chronic, you may find it more difficult to make confident decisions, focus, or get along with people. You may neglect basic self-care and live off caffeine and comfort food. This is the home of unproductive critical mind chatter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Relaxed-Entrepreneur-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Relaxed-Entrepreneur-2-1024x573.jpg\" alt=\"A person wearing glasses, sitting at a desk with their laptop in front of them rubbing their eyes to relieve stress\" class=\"wp-image-4015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Relaxed-Entrepreneur-2-1024x573.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Relaxed-Entrepreneur-2-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Relaxed-Entrepreneur-2-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Relaxed-Entrepreneur-2.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2><b>3 Simple Tricks to Help Enjoy the Rollercoaster<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The good news is, you can start to take control of your mental joystick and quiet the mind chatter by doing <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">three simple things. Keep in mind that simple can be profound and the negative mind\u2019s first response is to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">judge something new rather than to try it. Do not let \u201cthe voice\u201d talk you out of doing them!<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Observe.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Notice that you\u2019ve got mind chatter going on. Observe the thoughts as if someone sitting across <\/span>from you was saying those things. Observe the \u201csky is falling\u201d tone. If someone outside of you was telling you those things, would you automatically accept them as true? Note that YOU are NOT your thoughts, You are HAVING thoughts. You can choose to let them play on or change them. Pick a replacement thought that feels better to mentally repeat instead. Example: \u201cI\u2019ll bet there is a good solution to this.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><b> Be Present.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Feel your surroundings, your chair, your bed, your hands on the steering wheel. Notice <\/span>whether your thoughts are actually related to the present moment or are fear-based projections for something future. Separate yourself from the chatter by saying: \u201cRight now, I\u2019m just here __________ (sitting, driving, laying in my bed) and I am safe.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><b> Breathe Consciously.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Altering the breath alters the nervous system. Take your attention to your breath. <\/span>Take a deep breath from your diaphragm (known as belly breathing). Inhale through your nose for the count of 5 then exhale for a count of 7. Repeat for a total of six 5 in\/7 out breaths. Notice the difference in how you feel and the lower level of chatter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The more you practice these techniques, the more you train your body\/mind that you are in charge and steer <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">your body back to the health and restoration side of your nervous system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:22% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"571\" height=\"702\" src=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Kathleen-G-Final.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4016 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Kathleen-G-Final.jpg 571w, https:\/\/entrepreneurship.asu.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/ASU-Blog-Asset-Kathleen-G-Final-244x300.jpg 244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Kathleen Gramzay, LMT is the Founder of Kinessage LLC.
