Need to switch off? This works..

Hi Theo! 

Is there a part of you that desperately wants to switch everything off but you're afraid of missing out?   

Whether you work for yourself or for someone else, many of us find it incredibly difficult to unplug from work.

 

And if you provide a service based business you probably get used to putting the needs of others first, which means that you can lose touch with what's important for you.  


 This level of people pleasing, whether at home or work, often leads to exhaustion and burnout. 

 

If this resonates with you then Summer can be a great opportunity to build in some time to relax a little, enjoy life and most importantly gain a new perspective!


 


 


Here are 6 tips or reminders to help prioritise your own  regular self-care: this is critical for letting go of feelings of  being 'hard done by' or life being difficult or a struggle

 

#1 Get physical treatments and engage in bodywork: vital for rejuvenating your physical and emotional well-being, especially if you work face to face with others. It will release any stored stress, tiredness and emotional issues as well as increasing your body awareness and self-esteem.

  

#2 Practise saying NO: to demanding friends and relationships. When stepping up in a professional role you may notice your tolerance for 'energy drains' dwindles. Pay attention to this!  As a service provider you may notice you have less desire to be an unpaid one on your days off!

 

#3 Increase fun and pleasure in your life: Seek out new comedies, good films, spend time dancing or singing to your favourite song, hang out with friends that make you laugh - joy and happiness are both infectious and restorative.

 

#4 Make sure you're not doing personal development 7 days a week: Lots of us who are interested in self-help just can't give ourselves a break from it.  Remember there is a whole world out there!

 

#5 Spend time in nature: Nature restores and reminds us of the cycles of life.  A short walk in woods or by water returns even very addled minds to a state of peace and calm. Taking yourself outside and into nature is excellent for when you can't see a way forward.  Often miraculous solutions and new approaches materialise in fresh air.

 

#6 Explore creativity and activities which help you to just 'be':  Being a business owner is exciting but also very demanding.  By allowing yourself to explore your creativity - whether in words, the kitchen, the canvas or the dance floor - you will be giving your soul deep nourishment, and this will also remind you that you are much more than your business.

 

Know that by investing in YOU and your self-care that you are destined for success!

 

To your success,

One of the secrets of successful entrepreneurs...

11 June 2015

Highlights on Business Success!

Hi Theo! 

As I've always had an interest in healthy living I recently completed a detox and cleanse with essential oils; and found that it has really boosted my energy levels!  If you would like to join me the next one starts on 5 July.  Please email me if you would like the details.

 

And in support my wellbeing I've been making conscious decisions about designing my business around my lifestyle.  

 

As a result, this year, I've swapped City life for country living during the summer months.  It has been lovely to wake up surrounded by fields and nature every day!

 

What I've learned is that one of the secrets of successful entrepreneurs is that they have developed a lifestyle which supports them and their work.

 

So, in the final module of the Client Attractive Business Owner programme on the 25 June 2015 the topic is all about 'designing your business around your lifestyle'.  We will be exploring different ways of working and generating income that can support you and your business success whatever your current situation.

 

If you would like to join us please click here for the details.

 

 


 

 

By prioritising self-care and healthy lifestyle options you'll reap the rewards and see a big difference in your business in no time at all.

 

Here are just some of the benefits ...

 

# 1: You will have more than enough energy for work, family, friends and fun!

 

# 2: People will want to be around you. Have you ever noticed how some people naturally attract others? We all want to be around confidence, happiness, energy and success.  When you have this others will naturally gravitate towards you

 

# 3: You are your brand.  As an entrepreneur and business owner, you are your brand.  When you have lots of energy it shows - not only in your eyes and skin and general aura, but also in the tone of your voice and the words you choose.

 

# 4: You will be walking your talk. This is especially true if you are a coach, therapist or service provider - it's really important that you are living what you teach.

 

# 5: It gives you time to check in with you. Most of us now lead incredibly busy and demanding lives, with long to-do lists and little space for reflection and contemplation. By integrating a self-care routine into your life on a regular basis, you will give yourself time each week to check in with how you are feeling, how you are doing, what is and isn't working. This awareness will enable you to make important decisions about next steps in your life.

 

# 6: It will keep you healthy. Although you may LOVE running your business and you may be incredibly passionate about what you do, there is so much more to life than just working all the time. Rather than delaying health to another day when you have the time, money or space for it - give yourself the end result that you seek now!

 

Not only that, you will, most importantly, prevent:

 

#7: Burn out and exhaustion.  No one wants to work with an overwhelmed and exhausted business owner.

 

#8: Frustration and resentment. If you ignore your needs or are in the habit of putting others first you have a recipe for feeling isolated, stuck and like life just 'isn't fair'.

 

By putting self-care first you will feel much more supported and connected to life and in a stronger position to help others.

 

Next time I will share with you my favourite self-care tips.

 

To your success,
