Hiya Lovelies. I hope this lovely article finds you well. I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but my wellness posts are based on real-life situations I’m currently experiencing, so they can sometimes be a bit personal. With my branding for Franchy Luv, I share sweet, imperfect pieces with you, hoping to inspire. I genuinely hope to help you and inspire you. With that said, I wanted to talk about a topic near and dear to my sweet heart. I feel overwhelmed and learning how to balance my life with my perfectly imperfect business. “Being overwhelmed negatively impacts overall well-being by causing both mental and physical health issues. “

Ya Lovelies, I do a lot as I have multiple streams of income and work seven days a week. But I’m not complaining, this is what I wanted and decided to do. I said I wanted to work on my own perfectly imperfect dreams, not someone else’s. For the most part, I enjoy working for myself and having the flexibility to choose my own schedule. It can just be overwhelming at times, impacting my well-being and state of mind. This Friday was one such day I had to do trailer checks and lobby checks at AMC theaters. I got home at night and left in the morning. Additionally, I’m expected to attend to some work on my other business activities when I return home. That is the thing about owning a business. You can never truly clock out. You are always on the clock, working, it seems. I have accepted that I can never take the entire day off; I can only take part of the day off. As mentioned before, one thing I have been doing to improve my well-being is taking some ‘me time’ through meditation. Sometimes, doing nothing and watching a movie can also be equally helpful. The primary way to prevent burnout is by maintaining a schedule that supports your overall well-being. Many people don’t truly grasp the importance of mental health and life-sustaining wellbeing. We are always concerned about our physical health. What we fail to realize is that it begins and ends in the mind. So be good to yourself, Lovelies. Grab some of your favorite ice cream and sit down in front of the TV, take a well-deserved wellness break. You are worth it. Have a blessed day or night wherever you are in the world. Bye, take care with love.

Hello Lovelies, typing another thoughtful post that hopefully will inspire you all. Today, I wanted to talk about how powerful your mindset can be for your wellbeing. “You become what you think about.” When I first came upon these magical words, it was like my life was flashing right before my eyes. Suddenly all my trials and tribulations begin making a lot of sense. All my heart aches and what-ifs swirling around my mind. I sometimes would ask why me? I keep thinking that life is not fair. What I didn’t ask myself is what have I been thinking about lately? Your thoughts become your actions and your action shapes your happily ever after. Yes, it is absolutely mandatory to have a good mindset so your well-being can remain intact.

For most of my life, I have been thinking negatively. All I saw was darkness and no light. I could never do anything right. I was never enough. Needless to say, I suffer from stress and anxiety. My mental health at the surrender of my sweet thoughts. You see, Lovelies, these positive posts I have been posting are never easy to pen down. I’m always fighting off negative thoughts. Like I mentioned before, it was my anxiety that inspired me to create this beautiful website. Full of personal stories. I share my stories in the hope of supporting you and helping you feel less alone. Often, when we are going through a difficult situation, we keep it bottled up. Rationalizing that no one would understand. No one will care. Which keeps our mental health with little healing and peace. I’m not saying at all that it is easy to change your mindset. If it were that easy then we all would be always smiling and dancing through our perfectly imperfect days. Changing your thinking is a long process. You may need help, such as seeing a therapist. Lovelies, always remember it is okay not to be OK. There is nothing to be ashamed of. You are perfectly imperfect, and I love you. Sending a nice virtual hug for those going through tough times. Stay blessed and know that nothing lasts forever. Have a good one Lovelies. Bye and take care.

Lovelies, how are you doing? I hope you are well and very happy at the moment. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but just in case you’re new, I’ll reiterate it for your reference. I’m self-employed and work primarily from home. I own two businesses, Francesca Etheart INC and Frans Online Business INC. Ever since I realized that you can make money online, I knew I wanted to work from home. As for being a business owner, I knew that since my teen years, I had just never taken any action. For those of you who are remote workers like me, you know how difficult it can be to stick to a routine. The problem with not having a routine is that you can create unnecessary stress for yourself. The truth of the matter is that routines help improve your overall well-being.

Establishing a routine can help you reduce stress and maintain a sense of structure in your life. Furthermore, having a set schedule will help you get better sleep and increase your overall productivity. For me, much of my stress is created by forgetting to do essential tasks during the day. Either I wake up too late, or I’ve wasted time doing something that doesn’t ultimately benefit me. That’s the thing about being your own boss: you have to be a self-starter. If you don’t work, no one will tell you anything. So when I say that having a routine will help your overall well-being, I’m also referring to myself. Like I say, I’m perfectly imperfect. I’m learning alongside you. I never claim to know it all. I’m just turning my mess into a message. I’m not a guru selling you a dream. I’m learning, living, and earning every breath that I take. I will do another blog post about routines. Sometimes, it’s the small steps we take that can lead to the most significant changes in our lives. I just want peace and to live my best life ever. Do you feel the same way, Lovelies? Please comment and share your thoughts. Have a great day or night wherever you are.

Do you meditate, Lovelies? Imagine you finally sneak up a space for yourself—a time to reflect and relax. Your good friend Tory was lovely enough to watch your two little ones and entertain your fury friend. Just 15 minutes you pleaded and headed off to your home office. Sometimes life can get so overwhelming that carving out just 15 minutes can feel like a bit much. Personally, I think it’s just a matter of setting aside some time, as I don’t have any children. I’m a single woman and grateful for that. If you are a busy single mom, it is still possible to make some me time. You may be wondering how meditating can be great for your well-being.

I’m a pretty independent woman who feels that I don’t need help. Often when I’m stressed out or just feeling overwhelmed, I think I can fix it myself. In reality, I do need to meditate. I sometimes feel a bit embarrassed to admit how much meditating has been helping me. No, meditating doesn’t make your problems magically go away. You learn to notice and try to calm down. There are a lot of meditation apps out there. You have to research and choose the one that resonates most with you. I use Calm and have been doing so since 2019. It is a great app that doesn’t empty your bank account. You get access to the whole site for a relatively low price. I will do a separate blog post on Calm. Rest assured, I will tell you all about it when I find something good. Calm, truly madly deeply has had a remarkable effect on me. Do you also meditate? What app are you using? Please, share how you cope with stress. We are all here to learn how to better care for our well-being. I love you all truly. Have a wonderful day or night. Bye, take care.

Sleep is love, Lovelies. Let me tell you, I have watched my share of motivational videos that tell you, sometimes you need to miss your sleep to be successful. After yesterday, I have to say I disagree. Sleep is very important for your well-being. Yesterday I was doing my weekly trailer checks, and I did not get any sleep. Needless to say, it was tough to concentrate and do my work. Not to mention, I felt totally awful. The whole day, I just felt overwhelmingly tired. That day, I came home at 11:50 PM or so. So why is sleep so important?

When you sleep, your body has time to repair itself and prepare for the next day. With little to no sleep, you are putting your health and well-being at risk. Not sleeping properly can make you more susceptible to different illnesses. Your brain works hard all day; it needs to rest. I remember how bad my headaches were yesterday. When I woke up the next day, I still had a headache. That was my brain thanking me for not sleeping. You should get around 7 to 9 hours of sleep each and every day. Sleep is the ultimate self-care. How many hours of sleep do you get regularly? If you have any suggestions for helping each other sleep better, comment below with love. Take care of yourself, Lovelies, see you all very soon.

Hello Lovelies, welcome to another daily dose of my wellness journal. I don’t know about you, but this year has been equally stressful. I have been worrying a lot. This morning was no different. I woke up with a racing, worrying mind. It’s like being in a constant state of fear with no end in sight. The reason I tell you this is because I know a lot of us do suffer from anxiety. With today’s unpredictable world, worrying too much is unfortunately becoming too familiar.

The Franchy Treatment

The truth of the matter is, yes indeed, life is hard. However, worrying about our problems will do us no good. Worrying will create more problems and disrupt your happiness. The best way to deal with a worrying mind is to journal. Pick a time of the day when you have some time for yourself and write down everything that is going on in your mind, with no filter. Then tomorrow, read your sweet thoughts and write a solution. You can do a video entry if you are not a big writing fan. It is never good to let your feelings be bottled up. You need an outlet. You need a peaceful mind. If anyone has a different suggestion to help with anxiety, please share it in the comment section. We are a community of love here to support each other. Have a blessed one. Take care, Lovelies.

Good afternoon, Lovelies. I just finished my wellness walk and have found a new way to engage and inspire you all. I have created a wellness journal to help us all stay healthy and happy. After all, when you think about it, if you are not healthy, nothing else really matters, for instance, that Asian man who won the lottery wonders if he will have time to enjoy his newfound wealth, as he has Cancer. We all want to be happy and to have good mental clarity. Writing your sweet thoughts down can help you manage your mental health. These Journal entries are designed to inspire and help you feel like you are not alone. Lovelies, no matter how hard things are, you are never alone.

Today, I woke up with worried thoughts, as usual. I went on my Calm app and meditated. I believe having a scheduled time for yourself is very crucial. Make time for a bit of self-care. You know you are worth it. I know making time for yourself is not easy; nonetheless, it is always beneficial. After I was done with my meditation, I did my wellness walk, which is a time to reflect and think. Do you guys also have a schedule? I would love to hear all about it. Also, please let me know what you think about my new endeavor. Have a great day. Take care.

Hello Lovelies, happy Mother’s Day. I’m here next to my bed, typing this perfectly imperfect article to you all. It is currently Sunday, May 11, 9:38 PM. I went out for my daily mental health walk and bought a Mother’s Day card for my mother. The weather was beautiful, and I had a frantastic walk. I felt like my old self. I haven’t felt like this in a long time. Things are still difficult, but I have been back to meditating consistently, and it has helped, thankfully. In a future post, I will tell you about the excellent mediation app that I use. I recommend it with all my sweet heart.

As I mentioned, Evidation is an app that rewards users for doing healthy activities. If you are like me and enjoy walking, why not reward yourself with gift cards from Evidation? For today’s post, we will delve deeper into how you can earn with Evidation. Obviously, the biggest reward you can achieve is a nice, long life, living the life you desire. By living a healthy life and earning some points along the way, you can make things sweeter, don’t you agree? The two main ways to earn points with Evidation are completing the cards and connecting your other apps.

Cards are surveys and questions that you answer. There are three daily questions that you can answer. They are as follows. 1. How are you feeling today? 2. How would you rate your sleep quality last night? 3. How would you rate your stress level today? Each daily card is worth 1 point. I know that sounds very little, but pennies add up, don’t they? Luckily, the survey cards are worth more. They can run for 100 points, 200 points, and 150 points. How many points you receive depends on how long the survey is. The longer the survey, the more points you receive. That makes sense, right? The company prides itself on making things simple and easy.

Now, let’s talk about the different apps you can use to connect with Evidation to earn points. There is a section on the app called Connected Apps. That is where you will see a complete list of apps that are compatible with love. Here are a few to give you an idea of what to expect. 1. Fitbit 2. MyFitnessPal 3. Samsung Health 4. Dexcom 5. Garmin 6. Google Fit 7. MapMyFitness. These are just a couple. Head over to the Evidation app to see the full available apps.

According to Evidation, you can earn a total of 280 points per week just from your connected apps, which is pretty awesome if I do say so myself. The way it works is like this. Whenever you complete an activity on an app. The app sends information to Evadation, and you earn points that way. In the app, the earning metric is broken down into different sections. 1. Walk/Wheelchair 2. Vitals 3. Sleep 4. Exercise 5. Nutrition. What’s excellent about Evadation is that you can clearly see all the points you are earning, so there is no confusion. If you have an issue, you can contact them and they will do their best to answer your questions.

Another way to earn money that is worth mentioning is through research. According to their website, 1 million sweet soul angels have been involved in their research studies. I’m one of these sweet soul angels. Being part of a research study is currently the best way to make some money. I was involved in a cold and flu research study. I had to get testing kits delivered to my house. I believe I got about $150 and a Fitbit watch for participating. Approximately $230, I would say. Let’s make it clear that the reason you get paid so well is that there are a lot of things that you have to do. Like going to the post office twice weekly. Plus, the research process was a bit uncomfortable. Don’t worry, before you join any study, you will clearly understand what is expected of you. If you agree, you can move forward with the study. If you would like more information, please click with love.

Overall, if you are looking for a more rewarding way to stay healthy, why not give Evadation a go? The variety of ways that you can earn makes it worth it. Additionally, there is a referral program if you want to share with your friends and loved ones. Here is mine if you want to be part of my network on there. Have a lovely, blessed night, and I will see you next time.
