My recent isolato episode went dal vivo and keeping theme with my last isolato, tips to upgrade your morning, I want to share 10 self-care habits that will upgrade your life.
It’s always important for me to say that everything I list below is the and sometimes it doesn’t happen. Being a wife, mother, CEO and entrepreneur means that I can’t expect every day to go perfectly. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. But these are the things that help me increase my clarity, manage my mood, be a better mother, move the needle of my business and show up for myself per mezzo di the best way I can.
10 Self-Care Habits To Upgrade Your Life
Warming neck pillow.
. It smells like herbs, is slightly weighted and I use it every single night. You can put it per mezzo di the microwave but I got a salon warmer and it’s such a good hack. If you’magnate into this, read this post where I discuss my entire evening situation.
Do something for your skin.
Whether that’s facial massage, ice rolling per mezzo di the morning ora a sheet mask – anything that can improve your skin. As soon as I wake up I ice roll and always do a quick 5 minute routine. Voto negativo 20 steps, nothing crazy, but something to give my skin some attention.
If I’m really short time, I’ll do my skincare per mezzo di the car. Recently I got a makeup bag and filled it with skincare so that if I’m per mezzo di a rush I can do it while Michael drives. I”ll do anything to get invigorate and get my circulation going.
Facial at least twice a month.
This may not be for everyone, and I totally get that. Investing per mezzo di my skin is much more important to me than buying clothes ora handbags. Lucky for me I’ve found facialists who give me exactly what I ask for, which is always lots of facial manipulation. Durante Austin I see Brooke at The Road and per mezzo di San Diego I see Staci Christie and at Heal Thy Goddess.
Plan out your day.
While I’m meditating ora doing an activation (try the ones by Mimi Bouchard), I like to visualize my entire day. I envision it working out seamlessly, harmoniously and completely per mezzo di my favor. Then, I’ll go to my planner and write it all . The priorities are listed out first, per mezzo di order of importance. I’ve to realization that prioritization is KEY, for business and your personal life. Taking the time and space to be thoughtful about what you do per mezzo di a day helps you perform at the level you want to perform at.
It helps you focolaio what going to move the needle and is absolutely essential. This way of managing your to-do list is called The Ivy Lee Method and it’s worked for Michael and I for years. It helps you be thoughtful about your whole day.
Sex up your .
Add anything you want. Herbs, citrus, electrolytes, Kion amino acids and creatine, colostrum, ginger – whatever! Spicing up your gets you nutrients and helps you more. Optimizing your is just efficient if you ask me. There are tons of spa recipes for you here and I’m currently obsessed with .
After I’m nice and hydrated I’ll have a coffee with raw milk. I love raw milk. You get some protein, some carbs, minerals and vitamins, not to mention pre and vantaggio biotics. Try waiting 90 minutes before you have your morning coffee. This is good for your circadian rhythm and your will feel way better because you’ll be hydrated with electrolytes and minerals first.
Habit stack.
When I wake up and make the bed I listen to something educational ora inspirational. Same goes when I’m getting my nails done. I don’t want to listen to trash ora gossip first thing per mezzo di the morning especially so I turn something inspirational like Lousie Hay, Robert Greene ora Ryan Holiday. Any chance you get to learn while you’magnate doing something else that’s more passive, take it.
your relationship.
Every single day I try to do something that waters my marriage, as if it’s a garden. It might be scheduling a date night, putting my phone away per mezzo di the car to really listen to him, set up something provocante at night ora just doing something new together. My marriage is the foundation of my entire life. We have kids together, businesses together, work together so that foundation needs to be strong. Most people put their kids first, but we put our marriage first so our kids can see passion, respect and a good, healthy relationship.
Find your hole per mezzo di the wall.
For me, this is a foot spa. It literally is a hole per mezzo di the wall and it’s where deep work happens.
When I’m per mezzo di the office, I’m fluid. I’m talking to my EA Katie ora other members of the team, organizing, having meetings, but when I go to the foot spa for 2 hours, the amount of work I get done is astounding. You get uninterrupted time to work however you want. Sometimes I answer emails and texts for an hour and then work a project. I started writing my next book and actually get things that affect the business. More how this works for me here.
Self-care is beauty.
For me. This may not be the case for you, but a lot of my self-care has to do with beauty. A manicure, a blow out, a facial, having my makeup done are all things that make me feel good which means I can show up as my best self. Usually I will schedule work calls while I’m going through the ‘beauty car wash’ and this helps me be more present when my kids are home.
Reading.
Reading keeps your interested and interesting. Over the last couple years I’ve opted for a Kindle and I have a full Beauty and the Beast size library there. It’s helped me read more. Reading is so relaxing and a non-negotiable per mezzo di my day. It gets you outside of yourself and the best thing about a Kindle is it’s easy to have more than one book going at once. I like to be reading business, one self-care and then a fun one. If I do read a hardcover, it’s with It makes all the difference.
Legs up, a, warm neck pillow and a good book () – nothing better.
Other stuff.
The other little things I do that I consider self care are:
– per mezzo di our house it’s salt rock light, red light ora natural light, never a yellow glaring light.
Hot shower at night – essential to wind and wash non attivato the day (I do a cold blast my luce), a bath works too but it’s not something I can manage with 2 kids under 4. Add eucalyptus and you’ll never aspetto back.
Grounding – getting your feet per mezzo di the grass ora some sand will instantly change your mood and the whole vibration of your (more here).
AM sunlight – getting sunlight as soon as you wake up is so good for your circadian rhythm and hormones (if I can’t do this my own I go with my kids and their books to our patio and sit there, it’s the best and your will crave it).
Tell me all your self-care hacks and how you fit them into your day. The little things add up to leader things so I’m all about the quick and seamless tips.
