At any stage of your business Women's Antonio Garcia Jersey , whether you just opened shop, or have a full client base established, it?s so important to remember this. You need to keep yourself in good physical health in order to have enough energy to run a successful business and home life. But how? There?s so much to do, and so little time to do it.
Here are a few tips that you might find beneficial:
* Get enough sleep. Remember that even though you could go on 4 hours sleep at one time, you probably can?t do it now, so don?t try. A good night?s sleep makes everything feel better.
* Have a schedule to follow and stick to it as much as possible. Avoid unnecessary interruptions Women's Derek Rivers Jersey , including constant e-mail checking.
* Create boundaries, both work-related and personal boundaries. You can?t do it all and once you start saying no, you?ll be amazed how truly awesome it feels. And how great your business runs.

* Prepare a healthy lunch and snack the night before, just like you do for the kids. You?ll be amazed how good it feels to stop and eat a pre-made salad or sandwich.
* Stretch in your chair for stress relief and more energy. This is a great help for me. I will also at times sit on an exercise ball instead of my chair.

* Take small vacations to get away. Plan a Friday Women's Sony Michel Jersey , Saturday, Sunday vacation.
* Take weekends and evenings off. It?s so easy to get caught up working 247. But when you take this time off, you feel so much more energized.
And remember it?s a learning process. No one?s perfect. One of the greatest gifts I did learn was to no longer beat myself up so much. So what if I didn?t do it all today. So what if my house didn?t pass a white glove test today or ever. I Really Enjoy Life Today -- I Enjoy My Business --- And I Really Enjoy My Family Too.
