Working from home often appears to be all fun and games to those that seek to be self-employed and/or those that feel they must work for someone else. In far too many cases, entrepreneurs have a higher stress level when it comes to being 'accountable' for producing profits in order to support themselves, family and often employees. The position of responsibility for making the whole thing 'go' as opposed to being a part of a 'going' operation is extremely challenging for those that are newly entering the self-employment arena either by choice or due to being downsized from gainful employment else where.
Yet, there is great satisfaction in being an 'executive' and 'boss' of one's own income generating mechanism: self respect for a job well done, even in the beginning stages, cannot be over exaggerated. For those that are in the first 3 years of working from home or being self employed in a small business, there is often a tight budget and rarely instant overnight riches. However, the need for executive level pampering in the form of healthy relaxation and regeneration 'treatments' are a critical part of the best 'business plans' for those seeking to stay in business!
As a Certified Health Consultant the awareness that Health Is Wealth is always foremost in my consultations with clients and customers. Although my journey into self-pampering began in my youth with the 'luxuriating' gifts of bubble bath, body powder and cologne sets from my mother, the practicality of home spa techniques has evolved into a viable recommendation for all, especially those with limited funds and great emotional as well as physical demands. Luckily, we are living in an age where some of the most healing tools for home spa use are very reasonably priced and easily accessible to all!
Water Filter. Chlorine displays neurotoxic properties, especially in its gaseous form. So, while taking a shower may feel good to the muscles and mind, often it is causing unseen/undetected damage to the lungs and internal organs as it is inhaled/absorbed into the body. There are numerous shower water filters on the market, some that filter out many more deleterious elements than chlorine and others that focus only on chlorine. It doesn't matter how 'up scale' the filter is as long as it removes chlorine from your shower water. Showering in filtered water actually re-hydrates the body as you bathe and that is an added plus!
Massage Shower Head. Here too, there are countless models available in a very wide price range: the good thing is it isn't important how much you pay for your shower head ESPECIALLY once you've installed the filter because the focus is to get a good 'massage' via focused streams of water against the muscles of your body! Starting your shower with the temperature as warm as you can stand, then turning the massage head to focused streams as you soap up [and hopefully turn, stretch and bend] assists the blood in flowing to the surface of the skin while the pressure of the water stimulates the muscles, tendons and tissues causing enhanced blood flow as well.
Foot Bath. Again, these can be found at most any drug store and even some major home improvement stores at reasonable investment costs. For a true executive treatment, get a foot bath that 'bubbles' and has massaging elements for your feet to rest upon. Sitting at a desk all day [working on a computer] causes the blood to often drain to the feet and become stagnant: almost everyone has experienced tired, swollen feet at the end of a 10 hour day where serious deadlines have had to be met. A good massaging foot bath helps to draw toxins out of the feet while stimulating precious blood flow. With the addition of a little essential oil [lavender, peppermint or tea tree] the foot bath becomes a healing, soothing treatment that literally imparts peace to the mind!
While scheduling your week's duties and tasks to be accomplished to keep your business in the 'black' make sure to calendar in some executive level pampering – it'll help your body retain it's youthful exuberance while reinforcing to yourself that you are, indeed, The CEO!
