Each year, I love to dive into my favorite things, both as a passionate entrepreneur and as a mid-thirties woman who has embraced self-care and balance in life. Let’s explore these essentials that have enhanced my journey this past year and how they can elevate your life too!
Invest in Quality: A Computer That Supports Your Ambitions
First and foremost, let’s talk tech. A reliable computer is vital, especially if you’re a budding entrepreneur or if you’re simply chasing your dreams. Transitioning from a PC to a MacBook Pro has been a game-changer for me. Its ample storage, high-quality display, and overall seamless experience enhance productivity—no more stress about storage or quality issues!
Enhance Your Visuals with the Perfect Lighting and Sound
For those diving into video content, don’t underestimate the power of a ring light to improve your visual presence. Pair it with a good-quality microphone for crystal clear sound. Ensure these tools align with your needs so you’re motivated to use them effectively.
Engage Your Mind: Books and Affirmation Practices
To feed your mind, I’ve curated a book list with my top reads. Grab it on the gift list! Plus, incorporating affirmation or oracle cards adds a new dimension to decision-making. They’re fun and enlightening, offering a unique way to engage with your online community if you share them via stories. I go into this on the podcast so listen in for exact details.
Plan and Track for Success
Whether you’re a digital planner or prefer tangible trackers, having a planner that fits your lifestyle is non-negotiable. It’s key for boosting productivity and staying organized, especially in the fast-paced world of business.
Stay Hydrated and Healthy
Despite seeming unrelated to your business, staying hydrated is crucial. A gallon water bottle can ensure you meet your daily hydration goals, which is foundational for maintaining energy and focus. I feel SO much better when I drink enough water! Grab some flavor electrolyte packets to add to it if you want some more flavor.
Maintain Physical Wellness with Simple Tools
Incorporating fitness into your routine is essential. My Peloton bike (and app that comes with it) offers invigorating workouts, while a walking pad helps incorporate movement into your workday. A standing desk can also enhance your workspace ergonomics, keeping you active even during the busiest days. I have a walking pad under my walking desk and love to get some more steps in that way.
Add a Personal Touch and Explore New Apps
Enhance your client interactions with thoughtful thank you cards and chic mailers. If you are someone who loves trying new software and making things easier, you need to check out AppSumo which offers cost-effective business solutions, from podcast hosting to CRM systems. I got a lifetime pass to my podcast hosting site in 2019 and what I paid is what current clients of theirs pay for ONE MONTH. Explore what’s available to support your growth!
Skincare and Experimentation Inspire Daily Joy
In skincare, Primally Pure deodorant has been my go-to choice for clean deodorant for years. Use code LINDS10 for 10% off your purchase! Also, Elemis Glowing Primer recently caught my attention, offering a radiant finish whether you’re wearing makeup or not.
Shake Up Your Routine with Fun Fall Essentials
For relaxation, bath bombs from Basin bring luxury into bath time, and On Cloud shoes provide unmatched comfort for busy days spent on the go. Prioritize comfort without sacrificing style; they’re like walking on a cloud! Both of those things bring me so much joy and allow me to feel great.
Also–Health checks aren’t just physical—this year more than ever, I have been focused on my bettering my health. Some things I’ve done: Embrace cryotherapy or red light therapy for mood-boosting benefits, or pursue regular massages for stress relief. Investing in wellness is an investment in business success and I can tell a difference!
