How To: Simplify Your Life as an Aesthetic Nurse — Blog Post
If you work in aesthetic services, whether that’s in hormone therapy, tattoo removal, or hair transplants, then you’ve probably got an incredibly hectic schedule… Which usually means one thing: a lack in work/life balance. Think about it:
It’s difficult to deal with an imbalance between work and personal lives — let alone
recognize the signs! Once you find yourself consumed by work, it’s almost like falling into a ditch with no resources or tools to get out. You’ll start thinking, “My work is EVERYTHING, I can’t just push it aside.” “What else am I going to do? This stuff NEEDS to get done.”
Now hear me out: Balancing time between professional and personal lives will allow you to be more present, productive, and
happy
in both facets of your life. So without further ado, here are some tips to restore work/life balance and reclaim the happiness you deserve.
1. Use a Planner — Consistently!
The life of an aesthetic nurse can be especially busy, so it’s best to put things down on paper (or screen) in order to stay organized and feel a sense of control when it comes to keeping track of your daily, weekly, and even monthly to-do’s. With the help of a planner and a few multi-colored pens, you’ll have a foolproof way of keeping personal and professional affairs in check.
*If you’re not a fan of physical planners, there are online planner options like Notion which are easy-to-use and available for download on your phone or computer.
2. Set Aside Time for Physical Activities
From the inevitable stress and exhaustion that comes with going to and from work, it’s difficult to set aside time to take in some much-needed Vitamin D. Whether you walk your dog everyday, go for a jog, or do a bit of cleaning… make sure to do it and enjoy it. We live in a world where our occupations often merge with our personal lives, to the point where it can all become a blur of sameness. So make sure to breathe in the fresh air, declutter your private space, and truly relish any outdoor or physical activity you do.
3. Don’t Double-Book Appointments
The process of double-booking can either work seamlessly or with a myriad of bumps along the way. It’s really an unpredictable strategy; you double-book with the intention of taking on more clients in a more efficient manner, but the reality is that no one can be in two places at once. For the sake of your mental and emotional well-being, it is so important to allow time for yourself outside of your hectic schedule. In the end, not double-booking may not give you more clients, but it will save you a ton of stress!
4. ALWAYS Take a Lunch
We get it… There’s days where you get so wrapped up in your work that you realize, “Oh, shoot! It’s past lunch time.” While it’s great if your work keeps you engaged for hours at a time, it’s still important to keep your basic needs in mind. Food, rest, sleep… Never prioritize work tasks over giving your body what it needs to function! ALWAYS take a lunch break, whether that’s by eating a hearty meal, taking some time to relax by scrolling through Instagram or TikTok, or going for a brisk walk around your building.
