Savvy Tip Take Care of Yourself! One of the common challenges in American culture is the myth that hard work will get you everywhere. While that CAN be true, sometimes working smarter is better than working harder. That can be easier said than done; after all, what does “working smarter” mean? We’re not talking about using new technology or integration here–we are talking about doing things to take care of yourself so that you can take care of business. You have to come first in order to make your business succeed! 1. Sleep–The National Sleep Foundation says that adults typically need 7-9 hours of sleep. Achieving the right amount of sleep to meet your individual quota is crucial to your health and productivity. Make sure work is not coming before your zzzzzz’s, or your business may suffer in the long run! 2. Exercise–Multiple organizations tout the benefits of regular exercise in regards to your health, but how will that help you at work? Studies show that getting regular exercise and/or getting fit increases your energy levels, boosts your immune systems so you don’t get sick as often, improves your attitude, and builds confidence. You may think you need to spend another hour on the computer, but your business may benefit more from you taking a walk, a bike ride, or time at the gym!
3. Healthy Eating–Much like #2, eating the right mix of proteins, fruits and vegetables can have positive health benefits that may complement all that sleeping and exercising you are now planning on doing! So put down the doughnut, back away from the counter and run or walk to your nearest salad! 4. Meditate–Take a moment and just breathe–literally! Meditation has many mental and physical benefits, all of which can help you in your business. Studies have shown meditation can reduce anxiety, build self-confidence, provide mental clarity, and decrease muscle tension. 5. Socialize–When you are done with your meditation, make sure you have some time scheduled in your week to spend with friends and/ or family. Taking this time is likely to boost your immune system, decrease depression and can be just plain old fun. Don’t have time to do this on top of everything else? Combine activities! Take a yoga class with a buddy, have a healthy meal with your best friend, or take a walk with your spouse. Your business will thank you for it.
