Don't Quit...De-Stress!
I recently received an email from a friend who was considering quitting her online business. She is going through a stressful time, as we all do, and feels her business is just not worth it anymore. If this soundsfamiliar to you, then join the crowd! We are all human and there are times when the everyday stress of lifejust takes it's toll.What you need to do when this happens is not to quityour business, but to step back, give yourself some breathing room and take care of what is causing theexcess stress. If you are having family problems, takea break from your business and tend to your family.When that problem is resolved you will be anxious toget back to business.Think long and hard before quitting. There are times when I have felt the same way, but Iknow that I would never want to quit my business.Besides getting to work with so many wonderful people,this business is now a part of me and my life.
I am sure that a lot of you feel the same way.There are many things you can do to de-stress and beready to get back to business.** Exercise is one of the best stress relievers thereis. Walking, aerobics, dancing, or whatever form of exercise you choose has many more benefits also.** One thing I do when business gets the better of me,is to shut the computer down for the day and turn my attention to other things that need to be done. Just taking a small break from business can help. When things are really stressful, we may need to take a longer break.** Another thing I do, is to take a few moments andjust reflect upon how lucky I really am. I have a home,wonderful family, great job, my health and I also getto live on this beautiful planet.
I do not take any of these things for granted for even one minute because in a minute it could all be gone!!** As you are taking those few moments to think about what you do have instead of what you don't, you shouldalso be taking some nice, deep cleansing breaths.And also stretch out some of those tired muscles.I guarantee doing these things will revitalize and refresh your mind and body.** Take some time to think about why you started your business and if those reasons still apply.Are your goals still the same, do you still have the motivation? If the other areas in your life need more attention right now, that is fine, it happens to all of us. Just do what you need todo and then get back to business. Do not make the decision to quit when you are stressed out or trying to deal with other problems. Wait until youcan think clearly!** Here are some sites that might give you some more good ideas for de-stressing and life management.http://www.stresscure.com/http://www.stressrelease.com/strssbus.htmlhttp://imt.net/~randolfi/StressLinks.htmlStress is a serious matter and should not be ignored.But it can be controlled and reduced. Do not make any life changing decisions when you are over-stressed.Take a break, clear your mind, de-stress and thingswill look a lot different!.

Are your business and personal lives in balance?
For the sake of your sanity, the health of your relationships and, yes, even the success of your business, your business and personal lives need to be in balance. Many small business owners spend so much time on their businesses that they hardly have any time for their families or even themselves. Often this is more a symptom of chaos, disorganization and lack of clarity than anything else. Ask yourself these questions and see how balanced your life is. Do you work less than 50 hours a week? Do you have enough time to complete everything you need to get done? Do you have an assistant to handle details for you? Answering these questions can give you a clue as to how well you are delegating tasks, trusting your employees or building your team.
Do you exercise regularly? Do you spend quality time with the people you care about most? Are you saving for the future? Are you proud and satisfied with the way you conduct your business and private lives? Our businesses should be a means...

Increase Your Training Intensity - Forced Repetitions
You can only build muscle tissue if you can generate progressively stronger muscular contractions, so this calls for an emphasis on finding ways to increase exercise intensity. This should not be confused with exercise duration as maximum training intensity will actually shorten the time needed to achieve maximal muscular growth.In an earlier article I outlined the ways in which you can intensify your training. Here we'll focus on the role that forced repetitions have to play in intensifying the training effect.When you reach the point of muscular failure it is impossible to manage one more complete repetition of any exercise, at least not without losing form or correct technique. There is, however, one way in which you can increase the intensity even further and that is by completing one or more forced repetitions with the help of an experienced training partner.The best way to achieve this is by keeping the same weights on the bar and have your training partner do no more than is necessary...
