When it comes to holistic health, sleep is always going to be one of the most important things that you need to focus on. The more sleep you are getting in your daily life, the more likely it is that you will be able to feel healthy, have a lot of energy, and just generally care for yourself. However, a lot of us struggle to really get as much sleep as we ideally should. If you feel that you could probably do with a lot more sleep, there are some invaluable things you can try, so let’s take a look at some of those right now.

Keep A Regular Bedtime

This is one of the simplest things you can do to get more sleep, and yet it is very effective indeed. When you have a regular bedtime, it has a way of encouraging your mind and body to get to sleep a lot more easily and quickly. If you are keen to do this, make sure that you set a time that really works for you, otherwise you might struggle to make the most of it. Keeping a regular bedtime should also help you to fall asleep more quickly, as well as having better quality and deeper sleep, so bear that in mind too.

Look After Your Vital Functions

A lot of this is cyclical. If you are looking after your vital functions, then you are going to sleep better - and if you sleep better, you’ll find that your vital functions are taken care of a lot more easily. So make sure that you are doing this as best as you can. How can you do this? One way is to keep a good diet and exercise well. You can also use CBD supplements to help keep your vital functions going strong. All in all, this is going to make a huge difference to your ability to sleep well.

Be Careful With The Temperature In Your Bedroom

The temperature has to be just right if you are going to sleep well. If it is either too hot or too cold, you will struggle to get to sleep and to stay asleep, so this is something that you need to think about. You might find that you need to look into your heating and cooling systems or invest in a few different kinds of bedclothes, so you always have the appropriate ones for the time of year. This is a seemingly small thing that can make a huge difference, so it’s something to consider.

Exercise In The Afternoon

If you carry out some gentle exercise in the afternoon, you are going to find that it is a lot easier to get to sleep at night. Make sure you are not overdoing it - you don’t need to run a marathon every day - but do ensure that you feel a little tired afterwards. Being tired in the body will help you to get so much more sleep each night.

One thing that lots of my students struggle with and stress about is choosing a name for their new holistic or beauty business! 

So today, I am going to share some practical tips that will hopefully help make this process a little easier.  

1. Brainstorm - get a piece of paper and enrol the help of a family member or friend and just brainstorm ideas.  Ideally your business name needs to fit you, your business and brand and will also communicate what it is that you do.  

2. Shortlist your top 5 names and check to see whether there are any other similar holistic, beauty or hairdressing businesses with that name in the area where you will be located.

3. Think about your marketing - would your business name make a good website name? does the name tell people what is is that you actually do? is the name too long for a website? or too short? is it too long or too short for other marketing material such as your business logo, social media pages, business cards or leaflets?

4. Sleep on it or wait a while - if you are really stuck or torn as to which name to choose, then just hangfire. Whilst you are just leaving the decision alone, you may have a sudden light-bulb moment of inspiration.

5. Inspiration - some of my students use their own name e.g. Jane Bloggs Beauty, some have chosen a combination of their children's names like Stacey from Comason Beauty did and others use one word and tag the holistic or beauty on at the end, a bit like my business name Revive Holistic and Beauty.  You can also use a business name idea generator like Namelix.

One final thing you may wish to consider, is whether you intend to have a business tag line.  For example,  I use the tagline "relax and rejuvenate" in my business logo.  That basically sums up the essence of the services that I offer to my clients who come for treatments.  So if you intend to use a "tag line" for your business, make sure that your business name fits nicely with the tag line.

Well I hope that has given you some ideas for choosing your holistic or beauty business name!
