Business owners understand the mental and physical load it takes to keep everything running smoothly. Early morning meetings, evening networking events, exhausting travel, and worry. It is great to be the boss, but it isn’t easy, and it isn’t for everyone.
You also have an obligation to your clients and employees to stay on top of your game. Often this means taking time out to take care yourself. Sure, you can hit the gym at 5 am, but what are you doing for a mental or emotional break?
Massage helps Business Owners Balance it All
Work-Life Balance is a catch phrase thrown around a lot in the last few years. Let’s be honest though, owning a business is not a sure fire way to gain work-life balance. Actually, maintaining this balance on a daily basis is not even an achievable reality. You have busy days and not quite so busy days. The work and stress ebbs and flows in the life a business owner. When you find yourself in the throws of a really busy time, massage can help you keep going. When you power through a busy season and find yourself with some down time, a massage is a great to recharge.
Here is a list of times when a business owner could most benefit from a massage:
- Before or after a big presentation
- After coming home from traveling
- At the close of a successful Quarter
- At the close of a disappointing quarter
- At the end of a week of pulling too many late nights
- After bringing on a new client
- After losing a great client
- After a grand opening
- After any big event
Workplace Wellness Starts with You, Business Owner!
You already know that as a business owner, you set the example for your employees. Your attitude and vision determines the company culture and drives innovation. That is a lot of responsibility. However, encouraging your employees to take their own responsibility for their health can go a long way to improving the health of your bottom line. Taking care of your own mental and physical health is a great first step. A second step is to create a company wellness program. On-site chair massage could be part of that plan. Introducing your employees to the benefits of massage can start them down the road to a lifetime of self-care and stress management. People will come running to the call of “FREE chair massage in the break room” much faster (and healthier) than they will to “Free cupcakes and pizza in the break room.”
Be the business owner who practices and promotes workplace wellness.
