As rewarding and flexible as freelancing is, it can certainly come with its fair share of stresses. 

While on your freelancing journey, make sure to take care of your mental health so you can avoid burnout and continue having the capacity to serve your clients with excellence. Here are some of our top tips on how to maintain your mental health while working as a freelancer: 

 Create a schedule and stick to it. Having a routine can help you balance work and personal life. Of course things will happen that shift your schedule, but having a loose idea of when you’re done for your day is a great start. 

 Designate a specific area for work to maintain boundaries. Who wants to be in their kitchen worrying about the next piece of work they have to do? Not you! Separate your space so you don’t associate your kitchen or living room with work. 

 Sharing experiences with like-minded peers can offer support and understanding. The forum and LinkedIn are great places to do that. 

 Regular exercise and healthy eating play a big role in overall well-being. Getting outside to wiggle or eating a quick brain food when you’re feeling stuck can make all the difference
