The life of an entrepreneur does not have to be work-based all the time, life does not have to be so restricted to just work, work and work. I am not an entrepreneur just yet but I really admire those who are and sometimes the level of work and sacrifice they put into whole entrepreneurial thing is usually so serious. While you work your pretty head up thinking of different ways to make things better for your business and team members, you should take some time off in a day to spend with yourself and just feel better.

The definition of relaxation is different for everyone but do not tell me that work means relaxation for you that was the response I got from a young entrepreneur some time ago. Work is definitely not relaxation, so you should continue reading you might just find one of these activities as something you will like to try.

You could take advantage of the early morning or late evening cool breeze to spend sometimes with nature, just breathing and admiring nature could give you every atom of relaxation that you need.

Night rest are sometimes not enough, getting a nap in the day time does not hurt as long as you have planned yourself properly to make proper use of the period when you are awake, then you should get a nap. I know of an entrepreneur who sees getting a nap as a waste of time, she believes that night rest is enough rest on its own and no matter how stressed she gets, she will postpone the sleep until night. This has caused disagreement between us on some occasion because I do not find that habit healthy.

Working on improvement and stability is the duty of an entrepreneur and sometimes some of them get so engrossed in those duties that they fail to re-fresh their brains also, watching and reading things of inspiration indeed helps an entrepreneur in getting more relaxed and confident.


Take yourself on a special treat, as much as you work you also need to make yourself feel special. Order for that special meal you have longed for and grab a cold wine with it making yourself feel happy and proud and if it makes you feel any better you can invite two of your friends as you discuss things outside business.

You might just take a long warm bath, warm baths are found to help relieve stress just staying alone in a shower playing a calm music will relieve your soul.

If you are an entrepreneur or just a workaholic, try out some of these relaxation mechanism and tell me how you feel about them, you can also share other relaxation methods with me through the comment section.
