So many of my articles and discussions about working from home focus on ways to achieve work life balance, find more time and enjoy quality time as a family. However, just as important as these issues is ensuring you take care of your health and wellbeing, which can often get overlooked. Juggling family and work commitments can leave you dashing from one thing to the next. One of the negative side effects of running your own business whilst raising a family is committing time to taking care of you and your health. Here are some great tips to ensure your health, weight and wellbeing do not suffer when you become a successful mumpreneur.

Walk It Out

Walking your children to school gives you a mini-commute, a breath of fresh air and time out of the house. It enables you to return in ‘work-mode’ and gives you essential head space to consider the day ahead.

Take A Break

Ensure you take a fifteen minute break every few hours away from your desk and, if possible, out in the fresh air. Never take lunch at your desk but allow yourself the time you need to prepare and enjoy a healthy meal. This will help with your digestion, energy levels and keep hunger pangs at bay.

Create A Divide

If possible, set up your home office away from your living space, using instead part of your dining room or a spare bedroom, for example. This will create a physical barrier between your home and work life.

Network Try to attend meetings and events away from your desk regularly. Networking with other business owners is a great way to do this. Not only will it open potential opportunities but it will enable you to socially interact with other people; a sanity-saver when working from home alone.
