good thoughts for the week ahead

This week I will…

- Be intentional with the way I spend my time. 

- Focus on who is choosing me, wanting me, and
befriending me instead of worrying about who isn’t. 

- Actively search for joy in small moments. 

- Be kind every time I get the chance. 

- Be gentle with myself and with others. We are all human. 

- Remember that some things, some words and some people don’t require an emotional reaction from me. I can simply let it float away and move on with my life. 

- Put down my phone more and scroll less. 

- Refuse to feel guilty for finding pleasure in mundane things—a book, a game of pickleball, a phone call with a friend, a pumpkin spice latte…Life isn’t constantly about achieving this or that. Sometimes it’s about pure enjoyment. 

- Check on people I care about that I haven’t heard from in a while. 

- Work to forgive that person (whether they apologize or not). 

- Be in control of myself—my words, my actions, how I treat those around me and let the rest of it, rest. 

- Have pure intentions, but I will not people please. It’s okay if they don’t like me. 

- Try to carve out a little time with at least one person who is good for my soul. 

- Touch some grass. 

Love, 

Me
