Do you ever feel disconnected and isolated while building your online business? Like you’re wandering alone in a digital desert, separated from the tangible world? If so, you’re not alone. Many online entrepreneurs experience this feeling of isolation. Spending countless hours in front of a screen can create a distorted perception of reality.
After days of working in your home office, stepping into a public space can feel surreal. You might wonder what everyone else is doing, engaging in face-to-face conversations, serving customers in physical stores, and maintaining brick-and-mortar establishments. Are they crazy? Or am I?
The truth is, prolonged immersion in the online world can disconnect us from the physical world. I know it can happen to me.
Here’s a simple solution: cultivate a traditional offline activity and dedicate time to it at least once a week. The activity can be anything: fencing, playing guitar, dancing, songwriting, cooking, gardening, playing drums, embroidery, or swimming. The key is that it’s OFFLINE.
Choose something that resonates with you. Re-discover the REAL world. This allows you to reconnect with reality and gain a fresh perspective on your online endeavors.
Engage with people outside of the digital realm. Talk to your neighbors, friends, and family. Join clubs, visit local pubs, or simply go for a run in the park and breathe in the fresh air.
I recently rediscovered my passion for songwriting. While I can’t dedicate unlimited time to it, I set aside a specific hour each week to write songs, play guitar, and take singing lessons. It’s my meditation, my therapy, my cure.
It feels amazing, and it significantly boosts my online marketing business. It enhances my creativity and enables me to better support my family, business partners, and friends.
