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!

• Plan a Scenic Drive: This is always my go-to for when I need a reset, so why not hit the open road this weekend? Take a leisurely drive through the countryside, find some fun winding mountain roads, and find somewhere new. Roll down the windows, crank up your favorite playlist, and let the journey be just as fun as the destination!

• Home Movie Night: Transform your living room into the ultimate cozy home theater this weekend! Gather some blankets, make a big bowl of popcorn, and settle in with your favorite movies—whether you’re rewatching an old classic or discovering something new. Invite friends or family, or just enjoy a quiet night solo. It’s the easiest way to have a mini escape without leaving the house!

• Gratitude Practice: Take a few minutes this weekend to reflect on the good things in your life. Grab a notebook and write down three things you’re grateful for—it doesn’t have to be anything big! Whether it’s the smell of coffee in the morning, a kind text from a friend, or even just the peacefulness of a quiet moment, focusing on gratitude helps shift your mindset and can really lift your spirits. Plus, it’s a simple way to wrap up the week on a positive note!

• Book Recommendation: If you’re looking for a little extra joy this weekend, listen to The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. It’s a relatable and practical guide to finding more happiness in everyday life, without completely overhauling everything. Rubin’s journey to improve her own happiness will inspire you to make small, manageable changes that can have a huge impact on your mood, relationships, and sense of purpose. Pop in your headphones and let this audiobook be your companion for a walk, a drive, or while you relax at home.
