Make Monday Better Aug 27, 2023

Show notes

So much of what we experience is influenced by our perception of reality, not how things actually are. Like on Sundays, for example. How we feel about Sundays and Mondays impact how we feel about the rest of our week. This week — and going forward — remember, you are in control of your thoughts. Only you can control how you feel.

Ease Into Monday Aug 13, 2023

Show notes

Very often in life, we have the tendency to rush in. And when we rush, we tend to move on autopilot. How we do one thing is how we do all things. So instead of mindlessly rushing through the weekend, bouncing from activity to activity, find time to transition.

Show notes

Last week we talked about setting intentions with our tech, but this week we wanted to talk about intentions in general. One of the best things you can do each Sunday is to set an intention for your week. Today, take a few moments to set one, and write it down. Put it somewhere you can see it each day.

Screens Down, Rest Up Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

Sundays are for screens and scrolling … right? If you find that the weekends fly by and the weekdays crawl, the answer could be how much you’re using your phone. The start of the week is a good time to set an intention and build a new habit with your devices. Repeat after Dora: You own a screen, it does not own you.
