Adeline Er As a beauty professional, long hours and weekend work is inevitable! To avoid burnout, the SPA+CLINIC team will be sharing FIVE simple self care tips which can be easily implemented!
More often than not, self care is seen as a luxury, rather than a necessity and priority; and is something that many overlook! These tips are simple to be incorporated into your daily life.
5 Simple Self Care Tips
1. NOURISH YOUR BODY
Feed your body with nutritious, wholesome food and make sure you’re drinking enough water. Those 2min packet noodles, frozen meals and Chinese takeaway isn’t good for you if consumed regularly.
Instead, prepare and cook your meals in bulk and ahead of time so you will always have healthy food on the go! Or, simply whip up this quick & easy Mexican chicken salad easily!
I promise you, it isn’t too hard to eat healthy and by simply nourishing your body makes a whole lot of difference to your energy levels!
2. MOVE YOUR BODY AND STAY ACTIVE
Exercise is one of the most potent and underutilised anti-depressant.
That statement couldn’t be any more spot on!
A simple 30 minutes walk over lunch break or before work, a relaxing yoga session or a reformer pilates session is all you need to feel refreshed and great! Those extra endorphins kicks you get as a result of exercising is a sweet bonus too!
Next time when you are feeling stressed, angry or even lethargic – move your body and get active. Get those heart rate up and get sweaty!
Wepromise you – you will feel a whole lot better after a good sweat session!
3. IDENTIFY YOUR NON-NEGOTIABLES AND MAKE THEM YOUR PRIORITIES
If you could make your all your clients’ appointments your priorities for the week, why couldn’t you make 30 – 45 minutes a day a priority for your me time? Your health and wellbeing should always be on top of the priorities list because without health – how are you going to achieve all your goals and other priorities?
Make health as your non negotiable and you will stop cancelling your gym session to fit another meeting or deadline.
4. MAKE IT JOMO INSTEAD OF FOMO
Just in case these were too abbreviated for you – feel the Joy of Missing Out instead of Fear of Missing Out! Take time out for yourself to relax and rejuvenate, do things that you enjoy and spend time with people that you care about and worth your time. Yes, we give you the permission to be selfish and put yourself first.
Instead of another girls’ night out or dinner with the girls from the salon, why not treat yourself to a home pampering session instead?
5. RECOGNISE HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME AND TREAT YOURSELF
Recognise how far you have come and all your little victories along the way. And yes darling, treat yo’ self! Go for a stay-cation, plan for a weekend getaway, treat yourself to a full body massage and spa, get that hair blow dry and the nails down… You deserve it and yes, you need to give yourself a massage and spa time too!
Remember, you need to feel amazing to be able to share and spread your good vibes with your clients! Give these self care tips a go and let us know how you go! x
