How do you balance everyday life, happiness and running your own business?

Hi Purposefamily, I totally agree with you. Although I am in the beginning stage of starting my business, I have began a routine to help me with balancing all aspects of my life. I start everyday with having a conversation with my best friend (God) giving Him thanks and praise for not only opening my eyes to a new day but all for my all yesterdays and my tomorrows given at His will. I have a start time to do anything business wise and unless it’s an emergency or a deadline to be met…I start my day with self love and self care. This lets me begin my day feeling fresh and committed to handling my business with a positive attitude. I also have a designated lunch hour to eat a light lunch and meditate to refresh my Boss mind for the later part of my business day. Then I finish my business day with a reasonable quitting time. I manage my daily routine according to priority keeping in mind that there are some days that I may have to tweak this. Once I leave work, I turn off my Boss mode unless there’s an emergency that pops up. My evenings, weekends and major holidays are for my family and friends. Most importantly, I take time for myself for maintaining a healthy mind, body and soul.
I love that for You!!! How you start your day with self love and self care. I usually get some stretches in and short workout to get the blood pumping. I need to love on myself more. Thanks for sharing! I'm going to incorporate that gem more! I'm going to look in the mirror and say, I love you very much, I don't do that enough. I thank God first always, can't start the day without that. But, I need to thank myself more because there's been some valleys and mountains.
I really appreciate you sharing this. Reading your routine reminded me that building a successful business isn’t just about growing revenue—it’s about protecting the person behind the business. Starting each day with gratitude and putting God first creates a foundation that no amount of money can replace.
I also admire the boundaries you’ve set. As business owners it’s easy to stay in “boss mode” 24/7, but making time for family, self-care, and your relationship with God is what keeps us from burning out. Your business will benefit because you’re investing in yourself first.
I’m still growing my business too, and one thing I’ve learned is that purpose and consistency will always outlast perfection. Wishing you continued success on your journey. I have no doubt that if you keep that mindset, your business will grow into something truly special. Thank you for the encouragement, and may God continue to bless your business, your family, and every step you take. 🙏🏾💙
