2. Take time out to socialize each week
Alice Seba of Mom Masterminds advises taking time out is invaluable to the Mom Entrepreneur. Alice makes a point to have a few opportunities to socialize each week with girlfriends, her partner, or to just have some time alone. It revives her and makes her more focused when she comes back to being a mom or a businessperson. Alice says, ‘All work and no play not only makes you a dull mama, but it makes you a stressed out and ineffective one, too!’
3. Take a few ‘Mommy Minutes’ as often as possible
Ponn Sabra, author of Empowering Women to Power Network, puts herself on ‘time out’ and takes ‘Mommy Minutes’ as often as possible. Ponn sits in a self-made sauna in the bathroom with the hot shower running or enjoys a favorite goodie (she sometimes hides special ice cream sandwiches in back corner of her freezer where no one, even her husband, can find them.)
