Day 15 of 2026- January Mid Month Review

 Hi Friends,

Here are are mid-month January: take a breath and check in with yourself. No pressure, just awareness. The goal is to reset and finish the month strong.

How are you truly feeling right now — mentally and emotionally?

How are your January goals going so far: what’s working, and what’s not?

What matters most for the rest of the month — what do you need to focus on or prioritize?

What is one simple action you will commit to every day for the rest of January?

Remember: you don’t need a perfect month, you just need a stronger finish.

As Marcus Aurelius once said, “You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 14 of 2026- Exhausting Work

 Hi Friends,

Working during the day is already exhausting. Whether you’re at a job, at school, or just staying busy with responsibilities, your brain is constantly “on.” You’re focusing, answering questions, completing tasks, and trying to keep up with everything that needs to get done.

If you’re working from home, it’s a different kind of tiring. You might not be commuting, but you’re still stuck in work mode all day. Sometimes it’s even harder to separate work and rest, because your room becomes your office, and your “breaks” don’t always feel like real breaks.

Then, when the workday ends, you expect it to finally be time to relax. You want to sit down and do something for yourself. You want that feeling of being finished.

But home doesn’t work like that.

There are still chores waiting. The dishes don’t disappear. Laundry doesn’t magically fold itself. The trash still needs to go out. Even small things like wiping counters or cleaning your room can feel huge when you’re already drained from the day.

The hardest part is that chores make it feel like the day never really ends. It’s like you worked all day just to come home and start a second shift. Even if you’re not doing homework or job tasks anymore, you’re still doing something that takes energy.

So whether you work outside the house or work from home, it makes sense if you feel tired all the time. It’s not laziness. It’s just what happens when you’re constantly responsible for everything, all day long. Hope you get a good nights rest!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 13 of 2026- Waking Up In The Middle Of The Night

 Hi Friends,

So I have been waking up in the middle of the night. I am usually a very good sleeper and have no problem staying asleep, but too much work stress does that to you. So I am naturally more tired today.

It is honestly kind of funny though, because my brain chooses the most random time to wake me up. Not 6:00 AM when I actually need to be productive. No, it is always like 2:00 AM, as if my brain is like, “Hey, remember everything you need to do? Let’s think about it right now.”

Then I just lay there staring at the ceiling, suddenly convinced I need to reorganize my entire life, reply to emails that do not even exist, and come up with a brand new routine at 2 in the morning. The worst part is the next day when I am walking around acting normal, but I am really running on vibes and caffeine.

But it is okay. I am choosing to blame it on stress and not the fact that I overthink everything. Hopefully tonight I can go back to sleeping like a normal person because I really do not want a membership to the 2 AM Stress Club.

At this point, I just need my brain to stop being so motivated at night and save that energy for the morning.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 12 of 2026- Making It Through The Day

 Hi Friends,

Sunday did end up being a long day, and the moment I hit my bed I was out. Then suddenly it was 5:00 this morning and my body was awake before my mind was ready.

So now it’s Monday, and I’m already exhausted.

Not the normal “I need coffee” tired. I mean the kind of tired where even simple things feel heavy. The kind where you wake up and you can already feel the day asking for more than you have to give.

And honestly, it made me feel a little down.

There’s something about starting the week like this that messes with your head. It’s only Monday, and I already feel behind. I already feel drained. I keep thinking I should be more motivated, more productive, more ready. But instead, I’m running on low energy and trying to act like everything is normal.

Today I realized something important though. Some Mondays are not meant for huge wins. Some Mondays are just meant for getting through the day.

So I gave myself permission to take it slower. I didn’t try to fix my mood right away or force motivation to magically show up. I focused on doing one thing at a time. I focused on what was in front of me, not everything waiting for me.

Because showing up still counts, even when you are tired. Even when you feel a little off. Even when it is only Monday.

Tomorrow is another chance. But for now, I’m proud I made it through today.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 11 of 2026- Less Sleep Day

 Hi Friends,

Oh Sunday, and it’s a super busy one for me. Really busy.

I started the day with less sleep, so I already knew it was going to be difficult. You know that feeling when you’re tired before the day even begins? Yeah, that kind of Sunday.

So what do you do on a difficult Sunday when you already know next week is going to be super busy too? You take a minute and give yourself a pep talk.

Not the dramatic kind. Just a real one. The kind where you remind yourself that you don’t need to solve the whole week today. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need to get through what’s next.

That’s what I kept telling myself. Don’t look too far ahead. Don’t panic about everything waiting for you. Just focus on the next step. What’s the next thing on my list? What’s the next thing I can finish? What’s the next task I can handle right now?

Because when you’re overwhelmed, thinking about everything at once makes it feel impossible. But when you shrink it down to “what’s next,” it becomes manageable. One small win turns into another, and suddenly you’re not stuck anymore.

So today I’m not chasing perfect. I’m not trying to be ahead. I’m just trying to get through the day one moment at a time, one task at a time, focusing only on what’s next.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 10 of 2026- 100% Rain

 Hi Friends,

So the weather forecast for my area is 100% rain, and I honestly love that for a Saturday, even though I have tons of errands to run. Rainy days make us want to sleep in, get cozy, and not do much, if anything at all.

Still, I found it really refreshing to step out this morning when there was a slight drizzle. The air felt cleaner, the streets were quieter, and everything looked a little softer, like the world hit a gentle reset button overnight. Even the usual rush seemed to slow down, and I didn’t mind it one bit.

I know rain can feel inconvenient, especially when you have a packed to do list, but today it feels like an excuse to take things a little slower. I’m going to run my errands, but without the pressure to rush. Maybe I’ll treat myself to a warm drink after, or come home and light a candle and just enjoy the sound of the rain tapping on the windows.

Some days are for sunshine and energy. And some days are for softness. Today feels like the second one, and I’m totally okay with that.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 9 of 2026- Happy Friday

 Hi Friends,

It’s certainly been a very busy week for me, as I’m sure it has been for you as well, but I’m glad it’s finally Friday. This week came with its fair share of challenges, deadlines, and long days, but it was also productive and rewarding in many ways. 

Moments like these are a good reminder of how much can be accomplished with focus, perseverance, and teamwork. As the week comes to a close, I’m looking forward to taking a step back, recharging, and reflecting on everything that was accomplished. I hope the weekend offers you a chance to rest, reset, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime before the week ahead.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
