Hope everyone had a great week. We have a long weekend ahead of us! Any exciting plans? Mine include but are not limited to-- catching up on reading, Zumba with my best friend, dinner with another one of my very close friends and hanging out with family.
How about you? If you have any super exciting traveling plans let me know. I'll be living vicariously through you. ha!
Here is the recap of some of my fortunate moments for this past week:
1. Being able to run a 5K with my dad. If you missed that post, check it out here.
2. Spontaneous quality time with my sister on a random weekday- this was awesome. We shared a delicious treat while catching up on life. (post coming up later on today)
3. Two of my favorite magazines came in the mail (plus, my daily Wall Street Journal, always grateful for that).
4. Journaling- I had forgotten how cathartic writing can be and how healing it is to just write away about our fears, emotions, the good, the bad, and everything in between. I took some time this week to get back to some old school writing (journal and pen) and felt a gazillion times better after that "session". Thinking about incorporating more consistent journaling time in to my life going forward.
5. Change your thinking change your life- I've been a fan of Brian Tracy's books for the past 8-9 years, every since I graduated from undergrad. His motivational messages are a true gift. I recently came across one of his books which I haven't read yet and immediately picked it up. I just started reading it but so far I'm really enjoying it. In a nutshell, the book emphasizes the realization that no matter what happens, we always have the choice of training our minds to have a positive outlook on things (also, understanding the power of the mind in completely changing our lives).
...And that's all folks. It was a good week. Although things are not necessarily "perfect" I cannot complain. I have a lot of things to look forward to and looking forward to a fun filled weekend, even if its simply in the company of family, friends, the gym, and books.
Tell me, what is your favorite Brian Tracy book or motivational book in general? (would love to add it to my reading list.)

I love the idea of journaling on paper, but I feel like I have become so used to typing that it's hard for me to get my ideas out fast enough when I am using a pen!
ReplyDeleteIm a huge fan of putting pen to paper. Things definitely get done faster when Im on the computer (work related stuff). But, when is "me time", pen to paper is the way to go :)
