Why Is Yoga Very Essential For Entrepreneurs?
Good day everyone, this is my first Project Hope article, I'm very excited. Entrepreneurs are one of the most active people in the world today. Their business is entirely up to them. The need for them having sound mind can not be overemphasized, because they need sound mind to make the right decisions for their business. An artist for instance, if he/she is feeling troubled mentally or physically, he won't be able to have enough concentration to come up with new artworks. No new artworks, no new income, hardship. This applies to every other entrepreneurs in their various field. If they are not mentally or physically fit, it may be bad for them, no!! it will be bad for them. That's why the need for entrepreneurs to be practicing Yoga is very essential for their business to experience sustained growth. In this article, I will be dropping only one solid reason why I think yoga is very essential for entrepreneurs, so enjoy the interesting ride.

Calmness In Panic Situations
As a entrepreneur, you will most definitely face a panic situation or an unpleasant situation, and your ability to remain calm in other to optimally understand the situation in other to make the right decision is very important for the success of your business. For instance, a major supplier for your business is making unnecessary delay in the supply of some essential products that you need urgently in other to settle a customer. Your customer gets angry for the delay and leave, you just lost a customer because your ever punctual supplier is late and he/she is not answering your calls. After hours your supplier arrives with your product. Your next decision might be crucial for your business. It is normal to be upset but how you handle it, is what matters the most. Most people, would immediately be shouting at the supplier for coming late, some might say. "you are fired", without having the calmness to listen to what the supplier has to say for himself/herself. Let's imagine, you fired the supplier, you currently won't have a supplier, also looking for reliable supplier for your product might be difficult. You just might have shut down your business for some couple of days/weeks because of your irrational decision.

Whereas if you had be calm enough, you might have heard the reason the supplier has to say, it may be valid or a lie. If you think it is valid, you caution him/her to never do it again. But if you feel it is a lie, you still caution him/her to never do it again and then start looking for a new supplier that is more reliable.
That is why remaining calm is panic situation is very essential for sustained growth of your business, because you would be able to analyze a situation better and make the most the rational decision. How does Yoga come in play in such a situation? Yoga as we know helps in releasing stress and anxiety, hence, making our mind constantly fresh and calm. A breathing exercise that is incorporated in yoga practice is what is very much needed in panic situations. With a proper breathing yoga technique, you will always remain relaxed and calm in panic or unpleasant situation which will result in you making a better and more rational decision which will then lead to the sustained growth in your business.
