When it comes to self care, entrepreneurs are notorious for putting it on the back burner. This is a big mistake. HUGE! And it has a lot to do with your potential for income. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self care increases productivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost, a person caring for themselves is going to have a stronger immune system, allowing you to work better for more days out of the year. Sleeping close to 7 hours a night will increase your immune system and focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a no-brainer, right? Yet, so many entrepreneurs I know stay up late and wake up early burning the midnight oil and are constantly run down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take it one step further with some exercise. This could be as simple as a 20-minute walk each day and some body weight squats to get the blood flowing and the brain going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many times have you read or looked at the same screen for way too long without internalizing any of it? This is the perfect time to get up and move. I promise, even 10 minutes away from work will increase your productivity. It\u2019s much better than spending the same amount of time rereading the same line over and over again, am I right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self care will help you get paid more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This may seem far-fetched, but hear me out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re taking care of yourself, your self-worth increases. You are telling yourself that you are important. You will naturally set boundaries to allow time for self care, which increases your quality of work and how others value you and your work. This will ultimately result in increased confidence to raise your prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self care looks different for everyone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not all bubble baths and face masks\u2026 although, they\u2019re pretty great too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You define what your self care routine is. And it may change throughout your life. I have to admit, mine is incredibly involved at this point in my life. It ranges from little things like not answering texts or calls past 9:00 pm to waking up at 5:15 am to make celery juice and a green smoothie every morning. I even arrange bi-monthly acupuncture appointments, weekly bubble baths, at-home facials, and an hour of trash tv before bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
