While most people are not able to travel to take traditional vacations, Kimi outlines a few specific things you can do to set yourself up for a \u201cstaycation\u201d to accomplish just that.\n\n1.Make time for it \u2013 Schedule a day or more for your staycation and stick to your commitment. If things come up, treat them as you would if you were truly out of town on vacation.\n\n2.Find a format that works for you \u2013 If you are going to camp in your backyard, make sure you have all of your materials ahead of time. Arrange childcare if necessary to give you some focused time to recharge. If you had to cancel a trip this summer, create a theme night or event for yourself featuring the cuisine or activities you would have had on that trip.\n\n3.Unplug \u2013 Know your boundaries. If you are not able to unplug 100%, do the best that you can to stay away from social media and the news during your staycation.\n\n4.Come up with games and activities \u2013 There are so many things you can do with others and still be socially distant. Check out the links below for some ideas.\n\n5.Stay the course \u2013 Stick to your plan and don\u2019t come \u201cback to reality\u201d early. You need dedicated time to reflect, refresh, and then restart.\n\nTopics Covered in this Episode:\n\u2022COVID-19\n\u2022Racial injustice\n\u2022Staycation\n\u2022Taking a break\n\nSome resources for social distancing games:\nhttp://realestate.boston.com/news/2020/04/14/neighborhood-games-social-distancing \nhttps://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/money/quarantine-staycation/ \nhttps://www.today.com/shop/15-yard-games-enjoy-outside-while-social-distancing-t178918 \n\nSome activities for kids that promote social distancing: \nhttps://www.asphaltgreen.org/blog/rep-it-out-games-for-social-distancing \nhttps://www.strong4life.com/en/news/keep-kids-active-while-practicing-social-distancing \n\nConnect with Kimi:\nhttp://www.kimiwalker.com/","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/a248c942-ad42-4b90-b9a8-044632dcc71b/17e4d973abf617c5d2565db810c9b729.jpg"}
