Everyone experiences those days of complete and utter exhaustion, whether anything was accomplished or not. As a skin care professional, it is important to be energized and fulfilled because your energy can be transferred to the client. If exhausting days start creeping up more often than not, it may be time to make some simple life changes. 1. Some of your relationships may not be very healthy. Have you ever spent time with someone who completely drained your energy? If you leave someone feeling fully fatigued, you might want to re-examine the relationship. Try to limit time spent with negative people, instead surrounding yourself with positive/happy people. 2. Work smart, not hard. Sometimes productivity boils down to prioritizing. If you have ever worked really hard and accomplished nothing, try setting three clear goals to accomplish by the end of the day. Without goals, it can be easy to get distracted and start six things without actually finishing any of them. 3. Your life is not fulfilled.The key to enjoying life is finding meaning. If you are not finding meaning in any of your relationships or in anything you do, then you might not feel fulfilled. Making an effort to fulfill your life does not have to be large and overwhelming. Start with little things: Give a basic facial or a small makeover at a women’s shelter. 4. You are not prioritizing things that make you happy.If you love something, do it. For example, if you enjoy spending time with animals, go to the animal shelter on weekends and see what you can do to help. Stop playing by the rules and ask yourself what you would do even if you did not get paid for it. When you prioritize things that make you smile, it gives you a boost of energy and satisfaction. 5. You are not prioritizing self-care.As a skin care professional, you spend all day treating and relaxing clients, but what have you done for yourself lately? When is the last time you took a spa day with your friends or just sat in the bathtub and relaxed? The most important person with whom you can spend quality time is you.Want to read more?
