This week during a training session, one of my clients struggle with constant management "breaks" throughout the day. Whenever I felt the need to get up from his desk and stretch her legs, in the kitchen.
Because of this habit, it is now 20 pounds heavier, very uncomfortable and very unhappy with herself.
Unfortunately, this is a very common phenomenon among businessmen in the transition from the world of work outside the home to work.
Business gifts main challenges usually not seen while working in a company or "outside" world and manage and breaks a big one.
When you work outside the home, and can be transmitted through broken water cooler, and the dining room, or outside on the bench chatting with a colleague. When you spend your stay in the community to eat and rarely find a refrigerator stocked and packed food cupboards at your disposal.
When working from home, and dissemination of comfort is not as wide as it is not very likely to spend some time sitting in the bedroom or talking to yourself in the mirror, is the kitchen the most logical destination.
And how you spend your breaks at home requires a little creativity and a lot of discipline. Giving you options and set boundaries, and create a healthy lifestyle, and it will not take long for you to redirect when the drift toward the kitchen.
Here are 7 simple options to help you get started:
1. Take your phone remotely, head out to the lounge chair and call a friend. This not only covers the "break" issue, but also fights the isolation that often affect business owners in the house. The important thing to remember here is to set limits for yourself. Institute a 15-minute break rule and apply it, otherwise it will be vulnerable to the loss of the entire afternoon.
2. Pick up your mail. If your mailbox is at the end of your driveway or simply in the street, and this is an ideal opportunity to stretch your legs and get some fresh air.
3. Play your favorite CD and listen to the song that takes your mind completely of your business. Enjoy fresh juice or one cup of delicious class of tea during immerse yourself in the music. If you feel a bit slow, a pop melody alive in your boom box and kick your heels! There is no better energy boost of a good dance!
4. Take a walk around the block. Take your puppy with you and light candles with the flame. Know your neighbors, and keep pets healthy and enjoy the outdoors.
5. Meditation. There's nothing like meditation afternoon to clear your mind and relax the body. Enormous benefits and affect all areas of your life and business.
6. Adjust the hours of cooking. Establish certain times of the day when the kitchen is outside the boundaries and stick to them.
7. Sweep or vacuum the door to the living room. May not be exciting, but it will give your mind the end of the first half, which he needs, and will also provide the time if you can spend with family and friends. A few small breaks cleaning throughout the day really well.
What other ideas come to mind for you?
Your success and well-being of all boil down to discipline, creative thinking, and be gentle with yourself. Do not beat yourself if you have created habits that are cons producer. Instead, search for solutions and take appropriate action.
It is all about the development of structures and processes and when you realize that you have the ability to design your own business, and will create amazing results for yourself.
