“Burnout is nature’s way of telling you to take a break.” Jon Gonzales
Building and growing a hairdressing career or owning a salon/spa business can be daunting.
Balancing your personal, professional and financial development is a challenging journey that can cause a series of peaks and balances that will from time to time cause burnout.
Our current Corona Virus is certainly a concern for all of us. Instead of worrying and eventual burnout, use this idle time to start developing a passion for self improvement and prepare for the reopening of our salons.
The corona virus may be a brief obstacle, but keep your mind focused on towards positive thoughts.
In trying to seek a better life for ourselves and our families, we will run into road blocks that can cause worry and burn out.
The Corona Virus is a challenge we will defeat. Stop worrying over things you can’t control and be happy and thankful for your blessings.
Some people handle challenges better than others.
It is my wish that the following guidelines will help you renew your passion and overcome the temporary challenges of burnout.
- Read a Motivational Book — or just a good book for a change of pace. Reading motivational and educational books have always been a great way to help me overcome the challenges of burnout, worry, and anxieties. This will also help you take your mind off the daily challenges of life and renew your enthusiasm. By continuing to seek self improvement, opportunities will come your way when you least expect it.
- Exercise — go for a bike ride or take a nice long walk. Exercise will give you the fuel and energy we all need in helping us overcome the many anxieties of our daily life. Exercise is a great stress fighter that will also help you stay healthy.
- Seek out Education — knowledge is powerful; the more you learn, the more you’ll regain your enthusiasm for work and self improvement. This will help you ease your anxieties. The door to education is never closed. Education helps combat lack of confidence and will help you regain your competitive spirit.
- Eat healthy food — good health begins with a healthy diet. When you’re under stress, many people take refuge in eating either too much or eating harmful foods. When you look good and feel good about yourself you’ll regain your passion for self improvement towards your health.
- Watch a good movie at home — do something a little different and out of the ordinary. This will help you combat boredom and the many stresses of life.
- Rest and Relaxation — while many of you are probably bored during this virus, use this time to your body and mind a break.
Following these guidelines will help you overcome worry, anxieties and stress. Develop your own self-management system which will help you overcome and meet the heavy challenges of your job, your personal life, and your financial future. This will end, start planning for your reopening.
Stay safe and healthy.
