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!

• Go See a Local Theater Performance: If you’ve never tried it, there’s something magical about live theater. (no, really!) The energy of the actors, the intimacy of a small venue, the way each performance is completely one-of-a-kind. Find a small local production, buy a ticket, and show up. You’re not just supporting the arts, you’re reconnecting with something human and raw and completely present.

• Find a Trail You’ve Never Hiked Before: Even if it’s just a short path tucked behind a park or school, go walk it like you’re discovering new territory. Leave your usual route behind and follow curiosity instead. It’s easy to forget how much we’re built to explore. This is your reminder to go wander a bit, you might find more than just a new view.

• Make Something with Your Hands: We spend so much time tapping screens and typing keys that we forget how good it feels to actually make something. Carve, hammer, wrench, paint, whatever pulls at you. It doesn’t need to be useful, and it really doesn’t need to be pretty. Just use your hands. There’s a kind of grounding that happens when you slow down enough to shape something real. Don’t worry about the outcome, just enjoy the process.

• Book Recommendation: Deep Work by Cal Newport - Your no-fluff guide to getting your focus back in a world that’s constantly pulling at your attention. The ability to well and truly deeply focus is an incredibly valuable skill, learn strategies to help you cut through the noise, get meaningful work done, and actually feel progress instead of just busy-ness.
