My father always says that as long as you are happy doing what you do then there's nothing wrong with what you are doing. Of course this was directed to a person's career. I have to agree with him. I love working from home and there's many reasons why it's beneficial to me and I'm sure to many other people as well. In fact there are so many reasons that I'm sure I could write a book but for the sake of this article I'll keep it to ten.

1. My bed - I love my bed. Well, not just my bed but I love to sleep in. I've never been a morning person no matter how hard I tried to be. So now I wake up when my eyes pop open and never feel guilty or worse yet, late. A friend of mine once said that it's not natural for us to wake up when it's dark and I have to agree with her.

2. The environment - I'm doing my part. The last job I had would take me about a half an hour to get to. That meant an hour of driving every day which turned into at least five hours on the road in a week not including any recreational driving. My car pollution has been cut into an eighth if not less since I've started working at home.

3. I choose my hours - and my breaks. When I was working one of the things that drove me nuts was a strict half an hour lunch. Sometimes it took me twenty minutes just to get my food so a lot of time it became a choice between relaxing and eating. Now my favorite TV show is my lunch break and the elliptical is my two other breaks. Sometimes three. Okay fine sometimes four or five.

4. I am responsible for my income - Whether I make a little or a lot of it. For me this is a big bonus. I love the fact that what I earn shows what my effort has produced. It makes me feel responsible for my own destiny instead of someone else being responsible for whether I make money or not. I have to say I worked a lot of casual positions when it came to jobs and having to beg for a few extra hours is not ideal to me.

5. My routine is never the same - I'm excited to see what will happen for each day. I am quite organized and I have certain things that I want to accomplish during each day but I never have the same routine to go about doing it.

6. My dogs - they like me being home too. First there's the exercise that they wouldn't get if I was at work for nine hours out of the day. There's also the affection and playtime that I break my day up with for me and for them. And most recently, not one that I want to happen a lot but one that happened just the same, was I could take care of one of my dogs when she got sick. She couldn't walk very well and being able to have an eye on her and help her throughout the day was majorly important to me.

7. My emotions are balanced - I can take care of myself emotionally. At my old jobs I had to talk to people I didn't want to talk to and do things I didn't want to do and the worst part was that I couldn't take any time to rebalance myself. Now if I get upset or have a bad moment I can actually sit down and meditate or take a nap.

8. Days off - And I get paid without using up my vacation or sick time. I hated calling in sick because I felt like I was letting them down and sometimes I just wanted to take the day but that's kind of hard to do when you decide that's what you want at six in the morning. Your boss probably won't be that happy with you. When you work from home you don't have to look your boss in the eye the day after you take a day off. Plus you can depend on making money that day from your previous day's efforts. People don't stop using the internet because you took the day off.

9. I'm saving money on lunches - and snacks. No more eating something I felt like that morning but no longer wanted for lunch. No running to the fast food joint down the block and buying what I really want. No chocolate bar to help me cope with work or bag of chips because the machine is right there anywase. Nope, I just go to the fridge and eat whatever I feel like and snacks are normal snacks that don't come from a vending machine.

10. I can work in my pajamas - or my underwear. It all depends on what I feel like I want to wear for the day. To be honest that saves a lot of time planning my outfit, trying on something and taking it off and trying something else on, staring at myself from every direction, and wondering if I've put on a few pounds in the last couple days.

These are just ten of the reasons that I have for working at home and I guarantee that everyone has their own reasons for working at home. If it interests you and you want to learn how to start working from home today check out My Data Source here and start your own reasons.
