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!

• Sunrise Walk: Waking up early on a weekend isn’t as bad as it sounds, and with winter in full swing, the sunrise isn’t that early anyway! There’s something magical about stepping outside when the world is still quiet and the light is soft. It’s like nature’s way of whispering, “Hey, you’ve got this.” Bonus: you get to feel smug all day because you’ve already done something productive while everyone else is still drooling on their pillows.

• Game Night Revival: Dig out Monopoly or that trivia game you forgot existed, or you can even head out and try something completely new at a board game cafe! Nothing bonds, or hilariously divides, friends and family like a little friendly competition. Just remember: no flipping the board when you lose.

• Bake Something New: Channel your inner Great British Bake Off contestant and try your hand at something fancy this weekend. Whether it’s a flaky croissant or an over-the-top chocolate lava cake, baking is the perfect mix of chaos and joy. Pro tip: even if it ends up looking like it might go viral, it’ll probably still taste amazing.

• Audiobook Recommendation: If you need a bit of a reset, give Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty a shot. It’s like a masterclass in calming your inner chaos, but without the pressure of homework or deadlines. Jay’s got this way of making ancient wisdom feel super relatable and easy to apply.
