Day 230 of 2025- A Different Start To The Week

 Hi Friends,

I’m going to start with something a little different this week, preparing myself for the possibility of a not-so-good day. Lately, I’ve been working with people whose temperaments can be all over the place, and I felt the impact of that last week. This time, knowing what I know, I want to get ahead of it and prepare myself mentally.

Here are a few things I’m focusing on:

• Reminding myself that other people’s moods don’t define mine.

• Choosing calm over reaction, even when tensions rise.

• Taking small breaks to reset if I feel my own energy slipping.

• Giving myself permission to step back instead of pushing through unnecessary conflict.

At the end of the day, I can’t control how others show up but I can control how I do. That shift in perspective is what helps me stay steady.

So as I move into the week, I’m choosing to protect my peace, focus on what I can influence, and let the rest go.

How about you, how do you prepare yourself for tough days?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 229 of 2025- Sunday Relaxation

 Hi Friends,

Sundays are meant for relaxation a reset and refocus day. I used to spend Sundays prepping for the week ahead: checking my meetings, reviewing my schedule, planning meals, and making sure everything was in order. But now, I want to use Sundays to truly reset and refocus. The planning can wait until Monday morning.

Not every day of the week needs to be productive, so let Sunday be your most “unproductive” day and just chill. What are some things you can do to relax? For me, it’s a walk in nature, it clears my head and helps me feel grounded.

Whatever it looks like for you, I hope you give yourself that space to breathe. Rest is not wasted time it’s what allows us to show up stronger for everything that follows.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 228 of 2025- Finish August Strong

 Hi Friends,

Here we are, already in mid-August. Crazy how fast the month is moving, right? This is such a good moment to pause, check in with yourself, and think about how you want the rest of the month to go.

A few questions to sit with:

• What does finishing August strong look like for you?

• Are there any little things you’d like to wrap up so they’re not hanging over you?

• If you gave yourself one day just for you between now and the end of the month, what would you do with it?

Sometimes just taking a breath and asking these kinds of questions can shift how the rest of the month feels. I hope August is treating you well so far and that you finish it feeling proud, centered, and maybe even a little lighter.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 227 of 2025- Mid Month Review

 Hi Friends,

Happy End of Week. You made it. It’s been a rough one for me, but nevertheless, we are here.

It’s mid-August and time for a quick mid-month review. Here are some reflective questions:

• What’s been hard this month?

• What are you learning so far?

• Name some things you are grateful for that happened.

• What’s one thing you can let go of that’s not serving you?

• What’s one small win you’re proud of?

Take a few minutes to sit with these questions. Write your answers down, or simply let them linger in your mind. The point isn’t to have perfect answers it’s to notice. Notice what’s challenging you, what’s shaping you, and what’s lifting you up.

Mid-month is a good checkpoint. It’s not too late to adjust course, and it’s always the right time to acknowledge the good that’s already here.

Here’s to finishing the month with intention.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 226 of 2025-What I learned Since Yesterday

 Hi Friends,

This week, I witnessed a manager whose skills made me wonder how some people end up in leadership roles. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, she was rude, and her way of speaking was anything but professional or encouraging.

I’ll be honest  I’m not particularly fond of managers in this department. There are far too many of them, and some don’t seem to fully understand the work they oversee. You can tell by the way they talk about it and the questions they ask. It makes me wonder: if they don’t truly get the work, how can they guide it?

So here’s my thought for today and I’d love to hear yours:
How are the managers you’ve worked with? Have you ever felt there were too many? And if so… what exactly were they doing?

Have a great Thursday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 225 of 2025- Pausing

 Hi Friends,

I was in a meeting when the person in charge was being very direct but in a rude way, not in a constructive feedback way. While I heard what she was saying, I felt every ounce of me wanting to say things right then to her, but I have learned in my life that I hold the power of my words and that not every moment deserves an immediate response. Later, I came across this quote: 

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” – Maya Angelou.

It reminded me that while we can’t choose how others speak or behave, we can choose how we respond. We can either let negativity chip away at our confidence, or we can stand firm in our values and keep moving forward with dignity. 

Sometimes, the real strength lies in not letting someone else’s poor delivery define our own state of mind. Choosing grace over reaction doesn’t mean ignoring the behavior it means protecting our peace, learning from the moment, and walking away with our self-respect intact.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 224 of 2025- Feeling More Energy

 Hi Friends,

Finally feeling a lot better today. It feels great to have more energy than I did over the last few days. It’s interesting how we often take that energy for granted when we’re not sick. 

When you’re unwell, every ounce of strength feels precious, and the simplest tasks can seem like mountains to climb. But once you start to recover, there’s a renewed sense of gratitude for even the smallest bursts of vitality. Today is a reminder to appreciate those “ordinary” days when we can move, think, and live freely because they’re not ordinary at all.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
