Hi Again,
When I started my Home Based Business I realised that one of the disadvantages to a work at home business was the sedentary life style it could easily lead to.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has started an Internet business partly because, like many salespeople, I'm basically a lazy person and liked the idea of punching a few keys being the hardest work I would have to do.
- No commuting
- No pounding streets
- No physical effort
The problem of course is your brain needs a good supply of oxygen to function efficiently and rolling out of bed late in the day and going straight to your computer to do a few hours work before becoming a couch potato for the rest of the day doesn't exactly stimulate the old grey matter to perform at it's best.
Luckily for me I have a fairly short attention span and get bored quite easily so I take regular 5 or 10 minute breaks from work. These little 'mini breaks' used to be spent gazing into space and daydreaming.
Now while Daydreaming is not a total waste of time as it can provide fuel for our motivation, and let's face it for many of us the whole reason we started our home business in the first place was to fulfill our daydreams, it is not in itself productive.
I still daydream (a lot) but for the last few months rather than just sitting there gazing into space I stand up and exercise for a few minutes. I use a pair of dumbbells and the spindly arm's, rounded shoulders and pigeon chest have already been coated in a layer of muscle, I look and feel so much better, overall I feel healthier and more invigorated and most importantly my brain is getting regular boost's of oxygen and blood and as a result I work much more efficiently.
So keep taking your little breaks from the work but do a little exercise I guarantee after a few weeks you will feel better and work more productively.
As it's Sunday you deserve a little fun so watch this video to see what happens to you when your brain gets fat.
