But even attending one or two shows a year can bring great energy and inspiration to your business. "There is nothing like getting out of your four walls (your business) and letting your mind wander," says Day Spa Association President Allen Share, who attends more than 50 trade shows each year. "When we're inside our business, there are a lot of distractions. When you go to a show, you speak to new people, meet old friends, and view new products and trends.

Stay Inspired A few ideas to add new energy to your business Mindful Manicures Sundays, a wellness-inspired nail salon in New York City, provides headsets for clients to listen to guided meditations during manicures and pedicures— turning a routine service into some real self-care time. Shivani Vora, who visited the salon and wrote about it for the New York Times, says, "Between sips of organic peppermint tea, I followed cues from a hypnotic female voice: take deep breaths, release tension from my body, and simply let go." With the growing popularity of mediation (according to a report released last November by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the use of meditation more than tripled between 2012 and 2017), this seems like an easy and inexpensive way to create a next-level mani-pedi.
