Try A Lunch Break 

If you’re self-employed, you might have gotten used to working straight through your 
day. Sometimes desperate times call for some intense methods, but cutting yourself off 
from nourishment, even just for a few hours can have devastating effects on your 
health. Take a real break during lunch so that you can eat and digest your food 
properly. If you have a safe pot to close your eyes, you can even set an alarm so that 
you can lie back and take a power nap for a few minutes. 

Learn to Accept Help 

If you’re used to being in control of everything all of the time, it can be extremely tiring, 
and If you’re a person who is interested in becoming a better leader, than it’s essential 
that you learn to delegate a few things, This helps get a few pieces of the puzzle out 
from in front of you so that you can attend to other more important tasks. It’s necessary 
to allow people to help you with those things even when they aren’t exactly the help you 
were looking for. It’s better to focus on the more important things. 

Avoid Negative People 

This one is simple, avoid negative people. They can put bad thoughts in your mind that 
make you second guess yourself and cause problems with your confidence. Nothing is 
really worse than that. 

Take Time to Breathe 

Deep breathing is responsible for a large portion of your heart health. If you become a 
habitual shallow breather, then you can give yourself panic attacks. This is because 
quick breathing sends signals to the brain that the body is in danger. This perpetual fight 
or flight response takes a toll on the body over time, and can even shorten your 
lifespan, so it’s important to keep track of how often, and how deeply you breathe.
