How to Get Your Motivation Back After the Summer

Get your creative juices flowing with these top tips

The summer months are arguably some of the hardest for cosmetic creators. Humidity is constant, childcare is a priority and customers spend their disposable income elsewhere…

Because of this, it’s easy to fall into a bit of a slump. However, now we’re in autumn, it’s time to snap out of it! We’re well aware this is easier said than done, so we asked our Soakies to tell us what they do to give themselves a kick up the backside. 

So, have a read through their advice and take what you need to fall back in love with your creative process again.

• Go back to basics then work your way back up from there. 

• Look on the Soak Rochford Facebook Group and see what everyone else is making.

• Look at Soak Rochford’s website to get inspired by their latest assessments, kits and moulds etc.

• Reach out to family friends and those you trust who understand the stress of being self-employed.

• Put on some music! Always gets you moving

• Go through your customers’ positive feedback.

• Look at Soak’s social media to see the gorgeous designs that others are creating.

• Take a break, don’t put pressure on yourself and get inspired doing something you love.

• Make something new and exciting.

• Remind yourself why you started your cosmetic journey in the first place and look at how far you’ve come.

• Clear the decks, ignore the to-do list for 1 day, get out any moulds you’re yet to use and have a creative, fun making session. 

• Start a conversation in the Soak Rochford support group and get chatting with other Soakies who understand what you’re feeling.
