Do you feel like you’ve been running on fumes ever since you launched your business? As an entrepreneur, it’s not always easy to enjoy your downtime. But booking a treatment with Bowen Technique Bristol is a great way to designate an hour for self-care! Plus, here are some additional tips on incorporating self-care into your schedule, from tidying up your home to using PDFs for more efficient communication.
Keep Your Home Organized
Whether you work from home or an office, keeping your house tidy will help you feel relaxed and comfortable when you’re on or off the clock. Block off some time each weekend to declutter, place some houseplants in the rooms where you spend the most time, and keep your blinds open to let more natural light in.
Meditation and Breathwork
You can start a meditation ritual in the morning or evening to let go of your stress. Just set an alarm on your phone for a few minutes, close your eyes, and place one hand on your belly to observe your inhales and exhales. This simple practice can drastically reduce your stress levels.
Regular Exercise
When you’re working at a desk for much of your day, you need to make time to move your body. If you don’t have a gym membership, you can set up a mini home gym or yoga studio in your home. With a designated home workout space, you’ll be able to exercise whenever it’s most convenient for you!
Try Meal Prepping
If you’ve been working late into the night, you might lack the time and motivation to cook healthy meals. Meal prepping on the weekends is the answer! Everyday Health recommends investing in some food storage containers with compartments - that way, you can prep entrees, sides, salads, dressings, and more, and portion them into containers so that your meals are perfectly prepared in advance. You can also keep healthy snacks in your pantry and fridge, like granola, fresh fruit, and chopped veggies.
Treat Yourself
You’re working very hard, and you’ve certainly earned the right to treat yourself once in a while. Why not book a massage at a local spa? This will give you something to look forward to during your long work weeks! Plus, getting massages can benefit your physical and mental health. For example, massage can help you find relief from issues like insomnia, tension headaches, muscle soreness and strain, joint stiffness, and chronic stress.
You do not have to dedicate every hour of your day to growing your business. You deserve to take a step back from work and relax! With these tips, you’ll be ready to speed up your communications workflows, maintain an organized home environment, and invest in self-care with treatments like Bowen Therapy.
