86. Seasonal Self Care

13m · Sola Stories · 18 Nov 05:07

This time of year, it is easy to get so wrapped up in the holiday spirit that we completely forget about ourselves. It’s important to remember that as a Solapreneur, you need to make sure to fill up your cup first before pouring into others’ cups (and making them feel oh so good!). 

As a beauty professional, you are catering to others’ happiness all day, and with the holidays on top of your normal routine, your very full plate can overflow. 

Best way to prevent burnout and overwhelm? Deep self-care. Take some time for yourself. Nourish yourself - body, mind and spirit - so that you can truly take on the world from a grounded and resourced place.

We want to offer ways to turn the holiday spirit inward and love yourself up before the season’s frenzy takes hold. These self-care practices will help you feel supercharged from Thanksgiving all the way through the New Year so that you can better serve clients, connect with friends and family, and maintain balance during the busiest time of the year. 

 


In This Episode

[1:50] - Find a way to take some time for rest and relaxation.

[2:52] - Schedule “Me Time.” This is a scheduled commitment to spend time for yourself.

[3:49] - You can schedule time for yourself and clients with the Sola Genius app.

[4:18] - Picking up a journaling practice is a great way to connect with yourself and stay mindful.

[5:17] - Here are some ideas of things you can write about when you feel stuck.

[6:01] - Stay hydrated. We forget this during the colder winter months.

[7:15] - Meal prep to keep things healthy when time gets away from you.

[8:47] - Be sure to have enough Vitamin D during the darker winter months.

[10:01] - Take yourself to the spa. Your books are filled with making others look and feel their best. You should take that time for yourself, too!

[11:25] - Remember that you are not alone. Self care does not have to be isolating.

[12:28] - Give yourself kudos for showing up and being ready for the holiday rush.
