Get Your Energy Back
Because the world can wait for just a minute.
There’s a point, sometime late Friday or early Saturday, when the noise of the week finally starts to fade. You check your phone and realize you don’t have to check your phone. The world — with all its outrage, breaking news, and algorithm-fed anxiety — will keep spinning whether you refresh the feed or not.
And honestly? That’s a beautiful thing.
Humans have been really hard on each other lately. The headlines are exhausting. The comment sections are worse. You start the week trying to be informed, and by Friday, you're emotionally dehydrated — all the compassion wrung out of you.
Lets say... This weekend, don’t absorb more of it. Don’t doomscroll. Don’t argue. Don’t weigh in.
Instead, recharge.
Go for a walk without your headphones. Watch your dog nap in that weird upside-down way. Call your mom, even if you don’t have anything to say. Notice the little things your kids do when they forget you're watching. Pet the cat with both hands. Make pancakes for no reason at all. Eat them slowly.
You don’t have to fix the world this weekend. You just have to notice the part of it you can touch — and care for it gently.
The internet will still be there Monday. So will the mess. But if you can refill your heart just a little between now and then, maybe you’ll meet it with more peace, more perspective, and maybe even a little grace.
Take the weekend to get your energy back.
You’ve earned it.
Go live like it.
