Taking the time to Unwind in Q3
Change your environment
Sometimes all it takes for you to simply unwind and get back to you is simply changing your environment. Removing yourself from the situation that is causing you stress and allowing your mind to relax and get some fresh air will make all the difference in how you feel. Once you make the decision, you will be able to better approach the situation at hand, with a much clearer and leveled mindset. By simply taking the action to change your environment can make all the difference in so many things.
Practice a rhythmic activity
Rhythmic activities are great for the brain because it allows your attention and time to be focused elsewhere. Activities such as walking or running help to alleviate and relieve some of the stress and allows you to recharge in order to help you propel forward. Some other rhythmic activities we recommend helping you unwind is implementing wash day for your luxury extensions. Wash days allow your mind to simply be in the moment and focus on the task at hand, in knowing that you will have amazing extensions to showcase going into the new week.
Human interaction
Being stressed can sometimes cause you to feel alone and isolated. Instead, practice human interaction and being around people that make you happy and don’t cause you any stress. These are the kind of people you need to associate yourself with in order for your spirits to stay lifted and happy. In this day and age, human interaction and overall community is something many women are constantly looking for. Putting yourself out there and interacting with other women around you is something that is sure to help you feel balanced and unwind in Q3.
Breathe
You’d be surprised to see how beneficial it is to just stop and breathe in your moment of stress. Slow, focused deep breathing can instantly decrease that sensation of tension and stress triggers. Breathing when you’re feeling stressed will allow you to exhale all negative and toxic energy from your current situation, so your mind can be at ease.
Another thing that goes hand-in-hand with practicing breathing is simply learning to let go. Unwinding and letting go are truly two peas in a pod. When implementing the act of letting go, you're allowing yourself to remove all things from your life that do not serve you in any capacity. Simply practice the art of breathing and letting go.
