One of the most typical issues people who work from their home face is, working from home loneliness. Here are my suggestions to conquer depression caused by work, or perhaps, stay at home mom depression:
Be engaged on social media:
Yes, absolutely, these days with Twitter, FB, YouTube and all the others, choose one the suits you the most and really get involved.
Having online acquaintances with similar interests keeps you stay accountable and motivated, and will minimize if not totally rid, working from home loneliness.
Just that sensation that you are not alone is in some cases enough not to sink you into that, working from home loneliness.
They are an exceptional method of getting the word about your business and allow you to communicate with other company friends. Again just invest enough time on online forums to keep you inspired and motivated.
The Course in Miracles teaches to, "Seek and find."
I love listening to podcasts, too, and seeing what other professionals can teach me.
There are stacks of webinars and podcasts on the internet and is growing every day.
Take a brisk walk:
When you are working from the house it's quite easy to feel imprisoned and chained to your work station.
There are no water coolers to gossip at and take your mind away from work.
You just need to come up with something that can take your mind away from work related depression for some time.
Move to different place:
I sometimes get rather tired of my home office.
And of course working on the bed and viewing a movie on the cable television is always tempting and I have a fallen a victim to this trap lots of times.
I love the versatility that comes with working from my apartment, and if I prefer, I'll take my laptop to the library for a few hours.
There are nevertheless some drawbacks of working from home.
The most typical issue is working from home loneliness, and so do the stay at home mom depression symptoms arise for many raising children.
Again, just try to do some things, get involved where and when you can into online activities and relax.
The Course in Miracles further teaches us to, "Extend yourself which is how the miracle is performed."
If you allow yourself to be, you will only become your own prisoner.
Overcome work related depression and working from home loneliness by taking things lightly, while staying motivated and inspired.
To staying inspired!
