When you are prepping for a show, not only do you need to get your booth and your art ready, but you also need to get yourself ready. Doing shows can be a very strenuous activity. Here are just a few of the things that you have to contend with:
- Heat
- Cold
- Standing all day long
- Lifting heavy boxes and tents
- Talking all day
- Dehydration
- Unfamiliar foods
- Sunburn
I hate to sound like your doctor, but the best way to deal with this is to get plenty of exercise, plenty of sleep, and drink plenty of fluids.
I’m going to follow my own advice and go take a nap.
