Day 19 of 2026- A Holiday-Work Day

 Hi Friends,

Even though today is a holiday, I still chose to work so I could catch up and get things done. It ended up being one of those rare days where I finished everything I needed to without any interruptions—because everyone else was off.

And honestly, it was so nice not to be IM’d by the rest of the team all day. The quiet felt peaceful in the best way, and it gave me the space to truly lock in, focus, and be super productive.

Hope you can find days like this in your schedule.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 18 of 2026- A For You Sunday

 Hi Friends,

Some of the best Sundays are the ones when you truly dedicate the day to yourself. Today, I challenge you to do just that, this Sunday and every Sunday going forward.

Say to yourself: This is the day I am going to dedicate to me. Then truly stick to it by doing things that fill you up and make you feel like yourself again.

Whether it’s rest, a long walk, journaling, reading, meal prep, unplugging from your phone, or simply doing nothing at all give yourself permission to do what you want. You deserve at least one day a week that’s just for you.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 17 of 2026- Rest Up

 Hi Friends,

Happy Saturday, everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a calm and refreshing start. After a long week of responsibilities, deadlines, and nonstop moving, today is a good reminder that rest isn’t something you earn only when everything is finished. Rest is part of the process.

Take a moment to slow down and check in with yourself. If you’ve been pushing hard lately, give yourself permission to pause. Sleep in if you can. Drink some water. Step outside for fresh air. Put your phone down for a bit. Even small breaks can do a lot to reset your mind and body.

It’s okay if you don’t get everything done this weekend. You don’t have to be productive every second to be worthy of progress. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is recharge so you can show up stronger next week.

Have a peaceful Saturday, a rested heart, and a weekend that fills you back up.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 16 of 2026- A Note

 Hi Friends,

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope your first two full weeks back at work have been going well. Maybe they’ve been busy or challenging, but either way, I know you’re pushing through.

To help you keep up that momentum, here’s a beautiful quote I came across today from Angela Davis:

“Walls turned sideways are bridges.”

Every situation has more than one way to look at it. Every challenge you’re facing can be seen from a different perspective. And no matter what you’re going through, there is always a path forward.

This might just become one of my mantras for the year and definitely something I want to keep on a Post-it note where I can see it daily.

Peace

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!

Peace

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!

Peace
