Remember to take care of yourself
By nature, women are nurturers and care-takers. If someone within a
50 mile radius has a problem, a woman will try to help them! WAHMs are
no exception. They spend their days caught up in a whirlwind of taking care
of their families, housework and working their businesses. However, a WAHM
can easily forget to take care of herself!
Yes, you work from home, and you may be able to conduct your
business wearing sweat pants and bunny slippers, but that doesn’t mean
you should. Remember that every time you go out in public you are
surrounded by potential business clients. You should look professional
and well-groomed – you never know who you are going to run into!
Even if you stay locked-up in the house all day, it is important that you feel
pretty. When you look in the mirror and see a well-groomed, professional
woman looking back at you, you will feel more confident and more
competent in all areas of your life, including your business!
To keep the spirits up and the blood flowing to your brain you need to be sure
to get daily exercise. It is too easy to put this off because there is always
something else to do with the business or to take care of the kids, but, you
have to take care of you first or you won't be able to take care of anybody
else and of course business will suffer for it.
When you wake up in the morning, don’t just throw on your old sweats. You
don’t have to wear a business suit either, but try to aim for something in
the middle of the two choices. A simple shirt under a cardigan sweater and
some nice jeans or slacks will do the trick.
If you simply do not have the time to wash and blow-dry your hair, put your
hair in some Velcro rollers while you get breakfast ready. They will add body
and style to your hair. Take five minutes to at lut on some mascara and lip
gloss; and don’t forget to add a spritz of perfume.
If the last time you bought yourself a new outfit has been so long the clothes
you are wearing are coming back in style for the second time around, that is a
clue you need to update your wardrobe!
When you accomplish a goal, celebrate by getting a manicure or pedicure.
These types of little treats you give yourself can keep your motivation up
if it doesn't work. Keep your hairstyle fresh by getting a trim every few months.
You may be a fulltime WAHM but you are still a woman! You deserve to feel
special!
