When starting a new work at home business it is very easy to become consumed by it. We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation.

Internet marketing is a wonderful business, but if youare like me, there are days when you get really downand just can't seem to get going. This is compoundedfor some people with the Winter Blues. Sometimessitting in your lonely corner of the bedroom or living room, it seems like you are the only person on earth.You sometimes feel like you are in a cage and there is no way out! This can also be compounded by a slump in your business sales or successes.When you feel like this, it is hard to get any work doneand can be very counterproductive for you. You muststep back, take a break and clear your head.I have found a few things that can help alleviate theseproblems and would like to share them with you.1. Get up and get away from the computer for awhile.Even if it is only for 10-15 minutes. Walk around thehouse, stretch your muscles, do a few neck and back stretches. These can do wonders!2. Take a walk. Get dressed, go outside, breathe in the fresh, cool air of winter and take a 30 minute walk.This is one of the most invigorating things you can doto clear your head and get the cobwebs out. Walking is the one activity I would recommend most.3. Call a friend or family member and talk for awhile.This can also be a great way to lift your spirits and confirm your suspicions that there are other people on this planet! ;-) Chat for awhile and laugh a little.Laughter is a great medicine!4. Have some fun! Put on some of your favorite musicand dance around the house for awhile. Let loose and have some fun. Act goofy, crazy or waltz yourself to China. This helps get out some of the frustrations andpent up emotions that can cause the blues.5. Just relax! Turn everything off, make yourself a cup of coffee, cocoa, or just plain water. Just sit in complete silence and watch the birds outside or puta cool cloth over your eyes. Let your mind go blankfor awhile. Forget everything and just relax!6. Exercise your mind! Show your mind that there ismore than just the computer. Do a crossword puzzle,play a few games of solitaire, or read a book. These are all great ways of getting your mind of business andclearing out all the old to make way for the new.7. Do some housework! This might not be the most fun thing to do, but it helps take your mind of business forawhile and believe me, after about an hour of housework,you will be more than ready to get back to business!8. Take a TV break! Watch a program that allows youto escape to another world. After you are finished youjust might be glad to get back to your world!If you would like to find out more about beating theblues, you can visit these sites:http://www.uhs.berkeley.edu/FacStaff/Ergonomics/stretch.htmlhttp://www.divorcekit.com/blues.htmhttp://www.smile-publishing.com ips.htmlhttp://www.lifetimetv.com/shows/strongmedicine/chatroom/1210/1210.htmlI hope some of these pointers will help you relax and get back to business. I know that they have been a great help to me more than once. Sometimes when you are feeling unproductive or just plain tired, the idea is not to work harder, but to stop working andgive your mind and/or body a well-deserved break!
