"72% of entrepreneurs are directly or indirectly affected by mental health issues compared to just 48% of non entrepreneurs." (inspired by @tbhAnubhav) Feel anxious? lost? overwhelmed? Check these 3 different aspects of your being, your body, mind and soul. They are interconnected. You can not solve a problem by only attacking one of them.

The best way to solve the body problems are by doing simple physical things. Ask yourself: The reason why this works so simple is neuroscience, I will write more about it soon. _______𝟮/ 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱_______ It’s Monday morning. You feel tired and depressed. Your brain kicks in and tries to find a cause for that: „You still need to get up on Monday morning, to do a job you don´t even like to do. No wonder why you feel depressed“ When you are unaware, you will believe what the voice in your head tells you. It’s the most plausible explanation for how you feel. But it’s not the truth. The truth is, that you were out partying on Saturday evening and drank lots of alcohol. Your dopamine level is down (a normal reaction after a high). The only think you need to do is wait, to give your dopamine level the chance to normalize. Latest on Wednesday, you will feel better and your brain will find another story to explain that. I don’t tell you to stay in a job that you don’t like. I am telling you to be aware about what the truth is and the following layer gives you a simple guide. _______𝟯/ 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹_______ What exactly is your soul? Different sources use different explanations. Here is the explanation that helped me best to deal with anxiety. Your soul is your immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of your individual life experience. It is your awareness, the one who you really are, who experience your life through your senses. It is spiritual principle embodied in human beings, all rational and spiritual beings, or just “the universe”. When I go through daily life, it helps me to embody my soul as my inner child. A 5 years old, skinny, innocent boy with cute blonde hair and white soft skin. Standing barefoot on the street, playing with a little cat, being fully present in the moment. That is my inner child. I want to protect that little boy. This little boy Timmi still lives inside of me and wants to be seen, heard, feel safe and beloved. It´s my job as a 34 years old man to make sure Timmi has all he needs to be able to be fully present in that moment. How does your inner child look like? Would love to see a picture. _______𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆_______ 𝟭/ 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 - Your physical body has physical needs, make sure you got enough sleep, food, movement. 𝟮/ 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱 - It’s simple - don´t believe everything your mind tells you. Just say sometimes “shut the f**k up”. 𝟯/ 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹 - Make sure your inner child is protected. You are responsible for it´s needs. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– This is my first long-form!
