9/28/2024-Mindfulness/Self Care

Some Saturdays you wake up and the aftertaste of the crazy week is still there. Even though it’s the weekend, it’s sometimes hard to shake it loose.

Pick any term you want to describe the sales life…but you’ll agree it’s a vicious battle.

And that battle isn’t just on the street; it’s in your office and sometimes in your head.

Sure, on Monday morning, you’ll be eager to fight again, but figuring out how to cool the jets on the weekend isn’t always easy.

Mindfulness is not just for weekends, ya know; it’s needed seven days a week.

But slowing down Monday through Friday to be mindful isn’t something easy to achieve, and that puts pressure on how you nourish yourself on weekends.

The good news is you always know what your heart, mind, and body need. So today, in light of that aftertaste lingering around, double down on you.

Some scientists posit up to 70,000 thoughts can visit you each day.

Whoa.

How can you expect to relax with that kind of volume? (Grand Central only handles 700 trains a day!)

Perhaps this video essay can inspire you with techniques to manage your thoughts and help you on the days when you’re struggling to find that damn mindfulness password.
