Relax and your business will thrive
January 29, 2009 – 1:23 amNo matter how fast we run our lives, we all get the same 24 hours. We can fit no more in to those 24 hours by stressing about what needs to be done. In fact, stressing about it will often lead to less getting done.
Take the time to relax now! Not later, not next week, not when you retire! Now!
Now is when you are alive. Now is where you live. Now is the best time to do what your business, and your body, really needs you to do.
If you are waiting to relax, waiting until you have finished all your tasks, made all those phone calls, edited your websites/blogs, read all your RSS feeds and read and responded to your daily emails, then you will be waiting for a very long time.
Your inbox will never be empty. Start living with that fact. Get used to it being half-full or half-empty, whichever suits your point of view.
Relaxed people can still make an impact on life. They can still run successful businesses. They will probably be more successful than someone running full-speed through every day.
The difference is the one who spends a little time each day relaxing is the one who is living life now and not waiting for some fictitious “future” when he/she will relax and “really” live. That future will never come.
Choose today to live today. Take some time out from your busy schedule every day, from now until the end of your life.
In just a few short weeks you will be thankful that you started this habit. You will discover that there is a whole new dimension to life when you step off the treadmill and take a look around you. Apart from seeing all the other people madly running on their treadmills, you will discover life, real life.
Enjoy it.
You owe it to yourself and your business. In fact, I predict that your business will profit from it. You will be fresher each day and more likely to come up with ideas, profitable ideas, that might otherwise be buried in the busyness of the day.
When you have given it a go, come back here and leave a comment on how it has impacted your life and business.
