Take a Day Off For Yourself

Does this term sound familiar? Burnout is when your mind, body and soul have hit a point where you can no longer force yourself to carry on with an activity—sheer exhaustion. As one journey through the adventure of life, Maison Rose wants to chat up on what it means to hold space for yourself.

Let's start this blog post on the right foot. This is not translated into skipping out on a project, cancelling meetups, and basically making excuses! Our writing aims to highlight a clear message - Take Time To Smell The Roses. Reaching a point of burnout is a real thing, and many people experience it. We are at a point where go-go is the norm, and if you aren't being productive, it can be perceived as a negative trait. No toxic vibes here!

Here is an interesting thought. Think of two humans. Person A gets at least 7 hours of rest before the next day at work. Person B thinks it is best to reduce the amount of sleep to let's say 3 hours or, skip sleeping altogether and pull an all-nighter. On the physical, emotional and mental level - who do you think is going to be more efficient? Person A. Why? This individual has refuelled themselves. Metaphorically speaking, a non-stop washing machine is asking for problems. 

Pause. Revitalize. Go!

Sometimes there are a lot of responsibilities that one has to take on, and having even one day off may not be possible. You have to do what you have to do. However, carving out even a little space in your day to relax and rejuvenate on all levels goes a long way. There comes a time when you must put your foot down, set boundaries and tend to your body's needs. Climbing from where you have driven yourself to exhaustion isn't easy. It takes time to rebalance yourself. Save yourself from that burden and instead focus on taking smaller steps to give your soul the time it needs to get back up and hustle.

At Maison Rose, we are all about Wellness + Nature. We aren't just here to sell products but to make a positive impact for each of our customers to help promote well-being on a mind, body and soul level. While each of our creations contains its benefits, we want to highlight a few items that may help bring some balance into your life paired with the concept of Planning + Organizing.

When you have everything down in a notebook or written in your phone notes, you have given your brain a chance to declutter. Make it a habit to keep everything noted down and delegated into the week so that when it's gone time, you know what needs to get done, thus, allowing you also to create a space to unwind.

Our Aquamarine + Fluorite Soy Candle holds the mesmerizing scents of Pear, Melon, Freesia, Rose, Lily & Patchouli and is infused with Gemstones. Crystal energy + beautiful aromas make your planning process seamless!

A feel-good vibe is our Sunshine Soy Candle - made to brighten your day, infused with Real Dried Flowers and the aromas of Sage + Citrus. 

The Sangria Soy Candle will bring a joyful vibe with Summer coming up. You might even be tempted to make yourself a sangria and sip it while writing out your agenda. Think about those scents of Red Currant + Thyme. 

If you're a coffee lover, this next one is perfect. The Coffee Cake & Spice Soy Candle has a spicy, rich and warm aroma as if you're sitting in a café in your home or office. 

Do what it takes to give yourself the reset you need because you are in the flow state when you honour that true feeling emerging from within your soul. We'll save what the flow state means for another post. Good-bye for now xo
