    20 Ways to Unwind When You’re Over Quarantine

    July 18, 2020lifestyle
    25 Ways to Unwind - The Kachet Life

    With shelter-in-place making most days feel like Groundhog’s Day, self care can go on the back burner and you may find that you’re getting more anxious than usual.  Over time, this can have seriously impact on our overall well being and happiness. Finding moments of calm and ways to unwind in the crazy will keep us grounded for the long haul. 

    20 Ways to Unwind

    It all sounds so simple, but it’s not if we still aren’t finding ways to unwind and actually make it happen. These suggestions are super easy, some are quick, and most of them require no money. I hope they inspire you to take some time for yourself to unwind. You deserve it!

    1. Breathe. As cliche as it sounds, even one minute of deep breathing with your eyes closed can provide insta calming effects. 
    2.  Take a shower or bath by candlelight or with dimmed lighting. It totally changes the experience.
    3. Journal. Take a few moments to write what’s on your mind or let your mind take you on a journey and write something fictional. 
    4. Stretch out your arms and legs. Don’t forget to breathe!
    5. Go for a quick walk.
    6. Turn on some music that you enjoy. It doesn’t have to be classical.
    7. Enjoy CBD drops or capsules. Equilibria makes it easy for women to get started.
    8. Take a screen-free hour. No laptops, no phones, heck, no TVs either.
    9. Put on your PJs earlier. 
    10. Inhale essential oils. I love ylang-ylang during the day and rose in the evening.
    11. Write a checklist of things on your mind. Sometimes you just need to dump it all out.
    12. Have a cup of tea. I’m a sucker for tropical teas during the summer.
    13. Create a mini mood board with the magazine closest to you. Grab a piece of printer paper and have fun.
    14. Listen to soundscapes on the Calm app.
    15. Put on a face mask. It forces you to relax for 10 minutes. 
    16. Read a book and I challenge you to make it fiction.
    17. Have a Zoom date with a friend if having company calms you!
    18. Play a game. Words with Friends counts! 😉 
    19. Give your scalp a scrub. No, it’s seriously so relaxing. I like this one by Drunk Elephant.
    20. Sleep. Nothing beats a solid night (or day, if we have to) sleep.

    Happy weekend, friends! Wanna know what sandals I’ll be wearing all spring? These right here 👆🏾. They are so comfortable and I got a couple of compliments at the crosswalk! Every person was pleasantly surprised when I told them they were @crocs in collaboration with @verabradley because of the style, but if you didn’t know, there’s a wide variety of sandals from Crocs and these just scream spring. The floral botanical print is quintessential Vera and I’m obsessed. I know I’m rocking the denim today, but I’ll be steppin around town in them and at the pool, with stripes and solids — and with dresses and swimsuits, too. The spring style possibilities are endless. Tell me what you would wear yours with! #VeraBradleyXCrocs
    Y’all, I couldn’t be more excited to share wit Y’all, I couldn’t be more excited to share with you what’s been going on around here lately!

After three rounds in 2020, the doors to Level Up With Kachet have finally re-opened! If you're ready to achieve your big goals, truly build a thriving business, and to finally feel confident about your brand direction, I’m here to guide the way over the course of four months to make sure you do.

Participants will have access to weekly implementation sessions, bi-weekly coaching, guest coaching sessions and more. Unlike before, this program is for four months instead of six weeks. 

It’s truly a mastermind, designed to ensure your long-term success.

Maybe you know what you want for your brand, but you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know what to do next to get you there.

Maybe you hate to admit that you need better business habits, but you know that you do and you're ready to build custom processes.

Or maybe you feel deep down that 2021 is your year — and you are ready to do what it takes to make it happen.

Whatever your particular scenario is, I invite you to join us—your time is now! Applications close in 2 weeks and we’ll begin immediately after.

THIS IS OUR YEAR, and I can’t wait to get started! #LevelUpWithKachet #LevelUpShowUp #ThisIsYourYear
    Happy first full week of April, y’all. 😁 Maki Happy first full week of April, y’all. 😁 Making a point to celebrate + take a pause from the scroll is part of my biz processes this year and I didn’t even realize a week passed. I never used to stop, which means that I was going forth with blinders on + getting caught up in comparison, for better and for worse. I have to be honest, even with the absence on Instagram, the business activity didn’t stop!  In fact, here’s what went down in the past five days: 

▪️The Level Up + Show Up Challenge went down via email + Facebook. See ya, IG!
▪️I booked two Strategy Sessions for April.
▪️I put the finishing touches on the new Level Up With Kachet...DOORS OPENING THIS WEEK. Y’all ready?!
▪️My team + I turned a gifted offer from a brand into a paid one with ONE email. My #CoachKach advice: Stop saying yes (or no) off the bat. Open up the conversation to see what can happen.
▪️I beat my Q1 income goal by 25%, which made me adjust my quarterly goals for the rest of the year.

Sometimes you just need a win to get fired up and re-focused.

Sometimes you need to put that scary number out there to see if you can make it happen. 

Knowing that I did when half of the time I was weary, lost + fighting to show up in all areas, it affirms that I am made to do this. It shows me that there is a bigger plan for me, so long as I show up. 

Perfection is not required. Effort is.

That’s the energy I’m taking into April and the rest of the year. I’m going to reach higher. I’m probably going to squirm, sweat and scream while doing so, but I’m here for all the smoke that comes with it.

What are you going to reach higher for? And how can I help? Let’s 👏🏾Get 👏🏾It!

    You work hard, lady — schedule a breather this w You work hard, lady — schedule a breather this week and treat yo’self! It doesn’t have to be for the whole day. Heck, five minutes will do the trick. 

I hadn’t taken myself out for a coffee date in a while so I made it happen. But for you, it could be:

▪️A coffee without your phone in hand
▪️A walk around the block
▪️A bubble bath
▪️A call with a loved one. 

This isn’t the first time I’ve said this, and it won’t be the last. Count on that! 😁

Curious about my look? Well, my love for polka dots is coming back! I’m rockin more classics from @appleseeds, including the Dennisport Twill Chinos with this shirt. I plan to wear it with shorts + skirts this spring, too. That’s why I love classic pieces so much. You can remix them in whatever way you feel like depending on the mood.

A classic — and taking a moment to celebrate you — will never go out of style. Click the link in my profile to check out all of my Appleseed’s picks this season, + comment below 👇🏾and tell me what you’re going to do for yourself this week!
