A Holiday Break Does A Work At Home Business Good
By Tammy Embrich
If you work at home, you know all to well that it's not always a bed of roses. Working a business is definitely not predictable. We have good days and unfortunately bad days. It goes with the territory. But remember...working from home has some huge benefits.
The important reasons why you work from home
* You have the freedom to call your own shots
* You get to spend quality time with your family
* You come and go as you please
Well this also should include taking time off whenever you need to. Whether it be for holidays, sickness, or just to take a breather and capitalize on new energy and strength. When the holidays arrived, I was ready for a break...and I took full advantage of it. I enjoyed a stress-free Holiday Season with my family and didn't worry about my business. I made the necessary arrangements and made the announcement on my sites and my forum that I wouldn't be available during this time.
I did have a lot of work and emails waiting for me after the holidays were over...but I didn't let it overwhelm me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time off and as a result, I was able to forge ahead with my business with a new perspective and with new motivation. And along with that came new goals for the new year.
If you work your business relentlessly without any breaks...you run the risk of burnout and losing your enthusiasm and passion, and you will most likely fail without it. That's why it is so vital to your business to take a break from your daily work at home agenda and rejuvenate. You need to realize that YOU deserve a vacation from your work from time to time. You work hard, therefore a break is certainly well deserved. Also, allowing yourself time away from your business will result in more productivity and success.
Below are some helpful break tips for your work at home schedule
* Take one hour out of your day just for you
* Go out to eat for lunch with a friend
* Read a paragraph or two in your favorite book
* Take a brisk walk
* Take a leisurely drive before picking up the kids from school
* Watch a favorite television program
* Relish in the aroma of a cup of your favorite tea
The idea is to take time out for yourself, and come back with renewed vigor. It's crucial for your business growth.
