Working Moms Know When To Take A Break

When you’re trying to build a business your first instinct might be to work night and day every single day until you reach your goal. However, while hard work is important it is also important to give yourself a break now and then if you really want to build your business in the best and fastest way possible.

Before I really get into this I want to say that there is nothing wrong with hard work. In fact if you are looking to build a business that will provide you with the income and the lifestyle most home based business owners crave you’re going to need a lot of hard work.

This article is in now way designed to discourage you from putting in the time and effort any business needs, it’s also not claiming results without effort because that would just be foolish.

However, giving yourself a break from time to time is essential in being at your highest level of productivity.

When you rest and relax your body and mind are able to recharge and your levels of energy and creativity go way up. Try giving yourself small 15 to 20 minute breaks throughout the day and I know you will notice the difference.

If you’re the type of person who finds it difficult to stop during the day and take some time for yourself try creating a schedule for your work and sticking with it.

Be careful however not to take too long of a break, 15 minutes every two hours or so should do it.

When you take care of your body and mind it will take care of you and your body is just not designed to go, go, go, go without stopping for long periods of time.

Think of it this way. You can work 14 hours a day with very low productivity or 5 hours a day with high productivity… which sounds more appealing to you?

If there happens to be a day when you really can’t slow down for whatever reason try to give yourself that time the next day. Obviously there are situations when you just can’t leave your work just try not to make it a habit.

In conclusion I hope you understand that hard work and diligent effort is something that all home based businesses need to be successful. However, don’t be afraid to take some time to stop and smell the roses. It will help your business in ways you can’t even imagine.

Remember, success is not a destination it’s a journey so don’t forget to enjoy the ride!
