Self care Tips: Why self care is important for you as an entrepreneur.

As creative online entrepreneurs, even if we start out getting dressed “for work” we are gravitate over time to being in our pajamas all day in front of a computer. While we love the freedom we have, we also know how important it is to have time away from the computer dedicated to taking care of ourselves. Sacrificing the time you need to take care of yourself to instead use that time to put into your business isn’t sustainable. You are going to burn out, and that will hurt your business.

Remember that YOU are your business’s greatest asset. You want to bring your best self to your business to ensure your business thrives. You need to have a routine that puts you in the best frame of mind so that you’re at the top of your game. Running your own online business can feel overwhelming at times, but if you’re in a healthy mental state, you will be able to handle it.

When you should practice self care.

In an ideal world, you should do some kind of self care activity every day. It doesn’t have to be for long hours. It can be just a few minutes at a time. We understand, though, that life is busy and that doing something every day might feel impossible.

We highly encourage you to dedicate intentional time for self care three to four days a week. This will help you make it a habit without getting discouraged that you’re not doing it all the time. When you start to practice it, you’ll see the benefits and will hopefully be able to increase it so that it becomes a daily habit.

Self Care Tips: Suggestions for self care practices.

Below we list several options for you to try to practice self care. From this list, you can choose what would benefit you the most.

1- Journal

Journaling is something you could ideally do every day. It’s wonderful to wake up in the morning and use journalling to reflect on your day to center yourself. This helps you process your thoughts and emotions and puts you in a healthy mindset for the rest of the day. If you want you can also journal on an affirmation card.

2- Meditate

You don’t have to practice meditation for very long every day. Even a few minutes can be beneficial. Meditation helps you become more mindful. When you are living more in the present moment, you are better equipped to handle challenges.

3- Exercise

A leisurely walk, or yoga are meditative as well as ways to move your body. It doesn’t have to be for a long time or hard core sports either. Doing 15-30 minutes of moderate exercise daily can help you feel more relaxed and rejuvenated.

4- Stick to Your Deadline for Getting Work Done

When you work from home, it’s easy to either work all the time and let it encroach on your personal life, or to be doing other tasks when you’re supposed to be working. It’s helpful to give yourself deadlines and structure so that you can manage your time.

5- Stay Connected to Your Family and Friends

The online entrepreneur life can get lonely because you work by yourself. Part of your self care can be scheduling time for family and friends so that you can relax, catch up, and talk about things not related to work. It’s also important to find a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who know what you’re going through and can give you validation.

6- Set Boundaries

The people in your life will demand your time. Be clear with them about the times you can and can’t give to them. Let them know the hours you will be working so they don’t disturb you.

Self Care Tips for The Thriving Creative Entrepreneur: The Bottomline

Your online business is meant to help you live your dream life. If you are not taking intentional time for self care, your business will suffer and your dream life won’t manifest. This self care time is as important as the hours you put in for your business.
