How to Have an Intentional Weekend
Don’t Waste Your Days Off
By the time Friday comes, for many of us who work a traditional workweek, we are so ready for some time off. But without that structure of the workday and a hugely long to-do list, we can end up “wasting” our precious free time.
In this guided meditation, I help you explore what it feels like to be facing a weekend or a day off and consider how you would like to spend your time when you are truly taking care of yourself and others you love.
This meditation will help you get ready for the weekend (or whatever days you don’t work). Hopefully, you do get some downtime, and if you do, if you’re like many people — including me sometimes — you don’t spend that time as well as you want to, and at the end of it, you’re sort of left with “What did I do, and was that what I meant to do?” Instead, you can use this meditation to tune in to yourself and set some intentions for how you want to spend that time and focus on how you hope to feel when that time is over and you’re headed back to work again.
