Sick Days?

Working from home has serious advantages, don’t get me wrong, but I find myself wondering…where are my sick days?

I’m still a beginner at this, I haven’t been doing it forever, but I do have a natural gift for running my own company. Where my question lies is how I became such a mean boss!? If I had an employee and they got sick I would have no problem with them taking the day off to rest and heal, but when I was sick last week I got myself out of bed and just did what needed to be done.

Let me rephrase that, I did what I thought needed to be done. The world wouldn’t have ended nor would anything horrible have happened if I didn’t work. I just couldn’t make myself relax. I want to succeed and I’m trying to find my own balance as to what feels like success to me and what does not. I know working myself into the ground is not balance, nor is it success. I don’t do it often, and I do take weekends off so I get the “me time” I need to stay focused…but I’m still trying to decide how to handle being sick.

My favorite advice came from my friend Teri, who said, “Well then, you just have to take vitamins and be healthy enough that you don’t get sick. That would solve the problem, wouldn’t you agree?”

Yes Teri, I would agree.
