Work From Home Tips: Don’t Ignore Your Self Care!

 

Work From Home Tips – Ways to improve your home office

I’ve now been a 10 year self-employed writer, then a 13+ year massage therapist, a life coach, and most recently have grown my practice to have 28 employees. Including 23 massage therapists who train under me and see clients at my practice. In that time I’ve had to learn self care for the entrepreneur (or working from home in general) the hard way! So I’ve compiled some of my best work from home tips for you. 

Update September 2020: Wow, this post is now super relevant…we’ve all been stuck at home here in NYC due to COVID-19. Originally this post was focused on self-employed, since those were the folks usually working from home. Now, EVERYONE is working from home to some degree. So we’ve made a few updates and edits, and included a great free ergonomics video at the end from our Bodyworks DW TV subscription series of self-care videos. Enjoy!

I’ve seen working from home from a lot of different angles. Both from my own experience and from working with and talking to hundreds of self-employed massage and coaching clients.

Along the way we’ve learned good practices for keeping your work life from feeling like it’s all-consuming. And ways to actually get and feel the freedom you were looking for going in… And the stability you thought you might never see again.

So, for the entrepreneurs, whether just starting out, or building out your third 100+ employee company, here’s some of our best self-care for the entrepreneur advice for de-stressing.

And for the rest of your now working from home and not sure when (or if) you’ll be returning to the office, here are some welcome work from home tips!
