We were lucky to catch up with Mia D. Earl, PhD recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Mia D. , so happy to have you on the platform and I think our readers are in for a treat because you’ve got such an interesting story and so much insight and wisdom. So, let’s start with a topic that is relevant to everyone, regardless of industry etc. What do you do for self-care and how has it impacted you?
Self-care is a priority for me. The impact of self-care on my effectiveness can be profound. By prioritizing my well-being, I can experience increased focus, productivity, and creativity. Taking care of my physical and mental health also helps prevent burnout, reduces stress, and improves decision-making abilities. Ultimately, self-care allows me as an entrepreneur to operate at my best, leading to improved client interactions, better business outcomes, and overall success in my professional endeavors.
1. Mindfulness and Meditation: To reduce stress, increase focus, and improve overall well-being. I also include aromatherapy, reflexology and massages.
2. Regular Exercise: Engage hula hoop, dancing, jump rope and walking to help my boost energy levels and enhances mental clarity.
3. Healthy Eating Habits: Maintain a balanced and nutritious meal plan as much as possible to sustain energy. I enjoy juicing and meal prepping helps me with healthy eating..
4. Quality Sleep: Prioritizing sufficient and restful sleep for mental and physical rejuvenation.
5. Setting Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between work and personal life helps me to prevent burnout and ensures a better work-life balance. I find time to rest and take vacations.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
