Don’t Stress About The Weekend

The end of the summer holds a combination of emotions depending on if you are emotional from dropping your children at college or anxious getting ready for the new school year. Wherever your life is right now and where your emotions are – what is most important is how you feed your body and mind. That is what is going to determine how you get through this weekend AND how you feel by the end of it.

Whether or not you have been 110% all summer – make this weekend count. Start September by making the right choices for what you want and how you want to feel. Don’t throw the weekend away because your summer was not perfect. Don’t look back, don’t think about what you did, just think about what you want moving forward. Stay positive, think positive and know that what you do this weekend is going to make a difference in next week. Do the right things for your body and mind and it will repay you with happiness in how you feel and look. It’s not always easy to do the right thing. It’s even harder to do the right thing after you have done a summer of not so great things. But the faster you get back on track, the quicker you will get back to feeling in control, lighter and over all just so much better than if you spend the whole weekend cheating.

Keep it positive. This is a journey and you will be constantly challenged. How you handle the challenges will define your success. We all have detours. They are necessary, and when you learn from your detours you will strengthen your mind to handle each one better than the detour before. Put the past behind you and move forward with what you want and what you have learned. Remembering that everyday and every situation does matter. At the end of the day – accept that you are the one who is most responsible for reaching your goals and making your dreams come true. Only you – not your spouse, not your children or your parents – not your neighbors or friends and not the sabatogers. You are responsible for making today a great day.
