Feeling stressed, low on energy and tired? Or as the classic I Love Lucy commercial goes: "Do you poop out at parties?". Who doesn't love Lucy and that episode with the Vitametavegamin? My candle business team has had many laughs about exactly that when talking about balancing business and the hustle-bustle of daily life, courtesy of Darren Sanford, one of my team partners from It Makes Scents.
Our team has had some incredible giggles during our past Weekly Team Conference Calls about just that subject matter (and Darren does one heck of an impression of the whole comedy routine). But, let me ask WAHMs - How true is it sometimes?
Don't we all have days that present their challenges where we just feel tired, sluggish and un-motivated? Sometimes there is just a very fine line for a WAHM trying to be a business person while balancing the sometimes chaos of a house full of children and housework? How many times have you woke up and needed the reinforcement of a strong cup of coffee just to attempt to motivate after being up with a sick child all night?
Being a WAHM definitely has it's perks but I think anyone who works from home can relate to those "less than perfect" days. How can you get back on your game?
This WAHM can't live without her morning cup of coffee so I have no room to talk but caffeine really isn't the best solution, because the "up" is followed by a "down" and let's face it, we can't drink coffee all day. Spoken by Ms. Morning Blend here but it's true.
Alla Berger of Modern Mom recently published a great article about just this subject matter that I wanted to pass along as particular interest to WAHMs who sometimes feel just these things. You can check it out here:
She offers some great suggestions to pump up your energy level without a high test cup of coffee. Take a look and let me know what you other WAHMs think. I especially like her idea of turning on some good music. A good tune can work wonders and really energize.
More from me soon. Right now I'm going to turn on some good tunes myself. Make it a great week everyone!
