Your Weekend Reset

Ready for a weekly reset? Try a few of these tips to unwind, connect, or get creative. We’ve got you covered to make the most of your downtime!

• Build a Snow Fort or Snowman: Let yourself feel like a kid again; no rules, no agenda, just you and the snow. Grab a friend and build a snow fort, it doesn’t matter how shabby it might be, or raise your own snowman styled off your favorite childhood cartoon character. Don’t stress about perfection; just have fun. And if there’s no snow where you are? Who cares. Drag out some pillows and blankets and build something indoors. (this would actually probably be way more fun, I know what I’m doing this weekend…) It’s about letting go for a while, not about the weather.

• Make homemade hot chocolate with fancy toppings: Skip the powdered stuff and make it real. Melt some chocolate, warm up some milk, and go all out with toppings: whipped cream, marshmallows, a sprinkle of cinnamon, maybe even a drizzle of caramel if you’re feeling extra fancy. Make it as over-the-top or as simple as you want. This is your moment, and honestly, doesn’t a homemade hot chocolate just taste like a hug in a mug?

• Movie marathon day with a specific theme: Clear your schedule, pick a theme, and commit. Whether it’s an epic adventure that makes you want to climb a mountain or a rom-com that reminds you why love is both hilarious and weird, make a whole day of it. Pile up snacks, settle into your favorite spot, and let yourself be completely, unapologetically lazy. Bonus points for matching pajamas to the vibe.

• Audiobook Recommendation: The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest
  You’ve got your fancy hot chocolate, you’ve got your blanket fort, how about a good book? This one hits deep. It’s not about conquering the external; it’s about mastering yourself. It covers why we self-sabotage, why change feels so impossible sometimes, and how to break through those patterns by understanding our own emotions and history. It’s raw, insightful, and full of practical wisdom for anyone ready to stop being their own roadblock and start climbing their own potential.
