What many business owners do not realize is that you are their business. If you do not care about yourself and do things that make a little more gas in the aquarium every day, then you and your company destroy fatigue and failure.
Here are some things you can do each day to ensure that you can succeed at the highest level in your business and life.
1. Enough sleep.
I know, I know, Benjamin Franklin said, "You can sleep when you die."Well, it's fantastic, but if you do not get enough sleep, you'll live every day as if you're dead. In recent years there have been many studies showing that a dangerous long-term sleep disorder is.
Only a few effects include worse memory capacity, slower decision-making, problem solving, weakened body and immune system (making it more susceptible to injury and disease) and even an increased risk of obesity.
The message here is clear. Stay long enough. And make sure it is a quality dream.
Exercise 2
Like getting enough sleep, regular exercise should be a higher priority than your work.Train the release of endorphins and all the other wonderful chemicals in your body that increase your happiness and improve your ability to complete daily tasks.
Not to mention, exercise has also been shown to help you live a longer and healthier life.
Not a bad solution for something that lasts about 20 minutes a day, right?
3. Pause.
Entrepreneurs are famous for working seven days a week, without breaks. I have been this guilty a few times more than I have to admit.Taking a day off every week of all work (including email) will allow you and your body to refuel and refuel you, allowing you to return to your work with a new perspective and more energy than it has been for a long time.
Make sure that when you use that day, enjoy your time.
Spend a day with friends and family who give you energy, read interesting books, play with children or go to nature. Do not lose sleep for 12 hours (too good) or sit in front of the TV.
4. Reflect.
Sit in your chair for 20 minutes and you do not do anything. Sounds like a waste of time, does not it?Not so. Science is clearly involved in this: meditation has tremendous advantages for you and your company.
This is proven to help you improve your ability to focus, creativity, and overall happiness.
The best part is you do not have to have a costume.
Just 10 minutes of meditation on YouTube, Headspace or just a soothing piece of music will do wonders for your mind and body.
5. Recognize your small victory.
Every time you have a business, it will be difficult to reward you every time you do it in whatever way you want. I understood and I was there.But if you can shift your focus to everything you do right, everything you achieve, whatever progress you make, will be happier, more productive, and more successful. Keep a pencil and pillow near the table and celebrate all your little wins at the end of the day.
It may be your landed client, the landing page you end up writing, the employee who gave you another chance, or maybe just getting out of bed to work at your job when you can sleep.
It does not have to be big; it just has to be something.
