A seller’s emotions can shift with the wind. Stuff comes at you from all directions during the workweek; much of it can be filed in the "hard" column.
Sure, you thrive on the action and the wins, but a rock fight is still a rock fight.
For some, solace is found at a bar on Friday night, for others, it’s the gym. And some just want to curl up with their favorite pet and watch a vid.
While you might be tired of mindfulness experts telling you to engage in a breathing or meditation practice, weekends are meant for self-care. Whether you define self-care by breathing – or yoga, biking, or hiking – make yourself number one this weekend.
Do
You know that getting what you want is only a decision away. (Plus a little execution, of course.)
If you want a robust pipeline, schedule more prospecting time. To nail your quarterly goals, you must set milestones and hold yourself accountable for your performance.
It’s the same with mindfulness. If you want to run far away from your work and use the weekend to escape mentally, you must do the things that bring you joy and release.
Commit to mindfulness this weekend. Schedule the activities that bring you peace of mind and joy.

Mindfulness is not just a weekend gig, ya know! Mindfulness is needed seven days a week. But because Saturdays are the name of the day that appears after a busy work week, today is your first chance to breathe deeply and relax.

Perhaps this 2-minute video offers some techniques to manage thoughts when they go in wild directions (which they can, and do).
