Congrats, it’s mid-summer and you have a tan! The stress is at bay this week because, of course, it’s the Independence Day lull.

But even though you’re chillin’ right now – either at the lake, or in your backyard – today is a perfect day to work on your weekend mindfulness practice.

There’s not a person on earth who enjoys stress. And don’t kid yourself…nobody’s perfect at managing stress. Not even you.

DO

Make today the first day of your ’25 second-half stress management commitment.

Stress doesn’t just slip away because you wish it to be gone…it has to be physically and mentally displaced.

Workouts are good, hikes are great, lunch with friends is wonderful….but so too is quiet time. Today, pick any or all of that, but do something mindful that starts a habit you can keep with for 51 more weeks.

Perhaps this intoxicating 25-seconds at the beach visit will launch you into a mindfulness activity of your choice.

Whatever you choose, remember to focus on HOW MUCH OF A KILLER SELLER YOU ARE, and forget the stress from the job. It’ll come back soon enough.

Today, it’s about you and doing what you need to do to build yourself back up for the second half!
