80. The #1 Self-Care Technique - Add ‘White Space’ to Your Schedule with Roberta Hughes
Scheduling “white space” into your daily and weekly work routines is an essential self-care technique for business owners. Roberta Hughes is a self-care coach who is passionate about helping her clients add peace and calmness into their lives. Being high-energy and intensely dedicated to work is the norm for many of us, but this kind of lifestyle can lead to burnout and make it difficult to relax during our downtime. Once we find activities and interests that work for us and give us that sense of calmness, we can use them to help shift our energy into a relaxed state when we are finished with our work for the day. Adding these small breaks and activities into our schedules helps us reset our energy, and permitting ourselves to rest can help refuel our creativity and make us more productive and efficient. Find your inner zen and make “white space” a part of your self-care journey!
