Has anyone else felt like it's been the longest week ever? It's always hard to get back into the groove after a shortened holiday week. I was not prepared for it at all. It didn't even dawn on me until I kept trying to figure out why I was feeling this way. Honestly Memorial Day really does seem years away at this point. Lol... ;) On a serious note, I'm very grateful the weekend is here which means time to sleep in + relax.
I've been challenging myself throughout the week to maintain a more positive attitude by being appreciative of all the good things- little and small. I too often find myself guilty of getting wrapped up in the nuances of the day to day and forgetting this. That probably means I haven't mastered this lesson yet but hopefully one day, right? By actively focusing on being positive and in a good mood, I'm once again reminded that when you take this approach, your days are usually smoother sailing and things tend to swing your way. I definitely believe that we receive what we put out in the universe, ie you get what you give. You can also have a greater impact on others too which is more significant than we often realize. Definitely recommend you give it a try. Something that helps me get in this head space is by listening to inspiring podcasts and focusing on all of the good things about my day. Whether during the day or while you're lying in bed, go through the day and pick out all of the good things.
A few of mine from today are that I woke up early and didn't have to rush before work, I had a delicious salad for lunch + I scored a pint of Jeni's Ice Cream half-off at Target tonight! Has anyone tried the Salted Peanut Butter before? I'm pretty sure it was a miss-ship to my store but a nice find for me. I know we all hear how it's "always the little things" but I couldn't agree more. Even better when food is involved!
Another little bright spot of my week was finally biting the bullet and ordering an Oura ring. I've gone back and forth on buying one for months now. I've noticed that as I've gotten older, I'm much more indecisive (or perhaps methodical?) when it comes to spending money. I suppose in some ways that's valuable and better than being impulsive, however I also exert way too much energy going back and forth. It's honestly exhausting and a little psychotic? I finally just said f*ck it and ordered the damn thing. I can't wait to start using it and I will definitely share more with you once it arrives!! PS-- have you seen the Oura x Gucci collab? I opted for the Gen3 but it's very cool!
Wishing you lots of R&R this weekend!
