Hello, ,
A haircut, a dental appointment and a massage! I’m ready for ALL THREE! How about you?
It’s these things in life we MISS (although I don’t miss my dental cleaning appointment but it’s necessary), that we have taken for-granted and has been part of our routine.
All these add up to SELF-CARE and it’s something I think many entrepreneurs, like you and I, must schedule into our calendar or it won’t happen.
Oops! I also missed my monthly facial!
One of the first things I do with a new coaching client is to help her with a time blocking exercise. We look at her life and her typical week to figure out exactly the blocks of time she has to work her Direct Sales Business. Some people work full time and fit their DS Biz around evenings and weekends. Others, home school their kids and fit their blocks of time around the kids schedule and family
life.
What I point out it is to always find time for some SELF CARE! It’s so important. Even if you spend 5 minutes focusing on deep breathing, or 15 minutes to take a walk in the sunshine, or 30 minutes to take a short nap, self-care “has” to be scheduled somewhere in your calendar as a non-negotiable appointment.
My own TOP self-care calendar items are my 4 mile walk 4 times a week and my monthly massage! Oops, and the monthly facial …
“What gets scheduled gets done!” is my mantra!
