Why You Need to Take Care of Yourself Mentally

1. Working remotely can be very isolating 01:04
   • Whether you work remotely for yourself or with a team, it is easy to feel isolated.
   • This is especially true if you are working long hours and not taking the time to reach out to colleagues, friends, and family for social interaction.
   • You need to take care of yourself mentally, before you get burnt out from your work.
2. Take a break and change up your routine 03:02
   • Go take a walk at points throughout the day. If you have a pet, take your pet out for a walk.
   • Make it a point to step away from your desk.
   • Another thing that can help is to use a stand up desk. Check out Episode 226 for more info about stand up desks.
3. Be a part of online communities 04:43
   • Find people in your community that you can reach out to.
   • It really helps to have these relationships where you can share your wins and struggles.
