How to push pause and reset this weekend
It seems that our lives are busier than ever with ‘hustle culture’ here to stay!
However, this busyness badge of honour and living in a state of constant urgency can leave many of us fatigued, burnt out and disconnected.
Enter the slow living movement. Slow living is about being fully present in whatever you are doing, rather than rushing through a task just to check it off a list.
This weekend, why not embrace some elements of slow living and take time to pause, connect and reset.
Do Not Disturb
Have a digital detox day by designating some tech free time away from devices. Let your connections know you will be off-line for the day/weekend, turn off notifications and place your device where you won’t be tempted to ‘check in’.
Brain Dump
Free up some space and start a journal. It can simply mean putting some words onto paper, starting with anything on your mind, and can include wins from the past week, intentions for the week ahead, or thoughts and goals for the future. Journalling is thought to be one way of releasing stress and improving mood for greater overall wellbeing.
Move More
Moving everyday has benefits for overall body wellness. It’s great for releasing stress, helping with mental wellness and providing glowing skin. Body movement increases blood flow, oxygenates our blood, improves lymph movement, releases toxins and aids with eliminating waste. Find a slow flow favourite like stretching, yoga or walking and enjoy.
Mindful Eating
Enjoy the simply pleasure of cooking a delicious meal and plan your weekend with a thought-out meal plan. Prioritise your health with plenty of lean protein, whole grains and vegetables. Choose healthier options if you feel the need to indulge and swap out alcohol for cold pressed juices.
Catch Some Zed's
Good sleep is vital to everything! Set yourself up for the week ahead by starting an intentional sleeping routine. Sleeping is the time when our cells are regenerating, so practicing good sleep habits is one key to healthy glowing skin. Prepare yourself for sleep by eating earlier, avoid snacking or caffeine close to bed time and turn off devices at least an hour before sleep to escape blue light stimulants.
Dry Body Brushing
Incorporating the daily routine of dry body brushing can be a great start to your day and helps provide long lasting radiant body results. Dry body brushing helps to move stagnant lymph, remove toxins and micro-exfoliate the skin for a smoother and softer skin surface.
Boost Your Skin
Treat your skin with a mask. Masks provide a beneficial boost to your skin, including a burst of hydration and targeting any skin concerns you may have. Before you apply your mask be sure to start with a great double cleanse, then as an option, exfoliate. Next apply your chosen Biologi Bio Cellulose Sheet Mask. Once applied, leave on for 15-10 minutes. Use this time to pause, relax and take time out.
