Living for the Weekend

Monday through Thursday is slow and boring, or filled with stressful events and projects to get done. You think, just hold out to the weekend. We’ve got 4 days…3 days…2 days until Friday. There’s a movie releasing this week, or a fun project that’s sitting in your mind, but during the week there’s no time for it. It’ll have to wait for the weekend.

Then finally, when Friday hits, we’re so close to being released from the entrapment of work—TGIF, Thank God it’s Friday, as some people say. Time to let yourself relax and finally do the things you were looking forward to all week.

Saturday whirls by—maybe you see that new movie, get started on a project, or relax a bit, but the day blurs by all too fast. Sunday rises and the dread sits in, Tomorrow is Monday and this whole cycle will start again. Maybe you make a little bit more headway on your project, but you carry the dread Monday with you all day. Sunday ends, Monday begins, and the cycle restarts.

Building Skills in Winter

We got quite the cold spell this past weekend here in little Central New York. It’s tough weather outside, and for many people, it’s the kind of weather where you just want to curl up in blankets and never leave home—it’s cold, sometimes windy, and just a little unforgiving.

What are we to do when it’s this cold outside? This week, we hope to give you a little inspiration to answer that question for yourself.

Love Being Yourself

Confidence

When we look around at the people around us or online, it seems like everyone can be so confident in themselves and feel secure in their own skin. Yet, sometimes it can be difficult for us to have that same confidence in ourselves.

Improve by 1%

Motivation is hard. Finishing tasks is challenging. Completing goals is difficult. The many responsibilities from day-to-day take up a lot of energy that sometimes it feels like there is no energy left to accomplish anything.

This week, let’s stop looking at the bigger picture and end goal—it feels so far away anyway. Instead, let’s look at our feet and where we are standing now. Then, take one step. And tomorrow, take another step.
