Weekend Recommendations to Relax & Unwind
The weekend is at the door, yay! 💃🏻🕺
How is your week so far?
Any plans for the weekend?
Here are some activities ideas for the weekend:
●Reading: Factfulness by Hans Rosling.
This book is fantastic! It talks about ten instincts that distort our perspective. Those instincts are:
◉ The gap instinct
◉ The negativity instinct
◉ The straight line instinct
◉ The fear instinct
◉ The size instinct
◉ The generalization instinct
◉ The destiny instinct
◉ The single perspective
◉ The blame instinct
◉ The urgency instinct
Have you read it? If yes, wanna share any takeaways from the book? If not, is any of those ten you are interested to know further?
●Journaling: Self-discovery
Prompt: What is the quality of a particular person that you want for yourself?
●Declutter your living space.
"The first step in crafting the life you want is to get rid of everything you don’t." - Joshua Becker.
●Log in as a member
I do it now and then, and I met many brilliant listeners. Tips: know your purpose, whether you only need to vent, brainstorm ideas, looking for opinions to see things from other perspectives, etc. Without a goal, you will waste your time and others.
●Binge-watching: Lupin
Have you watched it? How do you like it? I love this series. If you haven't, check out the official trailer Lupin: French Thriller Streaming Series. Any other recommendations to watch?
Have a wonderful weekend everyone 💜 Cheers!

Awesome post , Cherie ! Love the ideas ,thankyou for your recommendations and tips !❤
I haven't read the book but the " straight line " instinct intrigues me more than the other ones mentioned 😮 @ouiCherie
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou 💜
Straight line instinct is when we believe something is not going to change, ever. Our lives will forever be a straight line.
We often hear things like, "This is going to be like this forever. Nothing changed, nothing will." Sometimes we don't pay attention to small details, small changes when different interventions apply. Things are always change.
Thanks for the response Sun 💜
Ooh I get that , missing out on the small bits and not acknowledging the little steps and changes ~ thanks for explaining , Cherie ! @ouiCherie ❤
Thank you! I’ll look for the book so I can read it. I’m decluttering my room and i enjoy it. 😌😌 i feel like I’m more busy with the fixing so I get to ignore the negative stuff around me 😊
@BwahahaLove Yay!
Indeed decluttering our space is a good way to keep our mind occupied 💜 Great point. Thank you 🤗
@ouiCherie yes. You said it well. It keeps my mind preoccupied. 😊😊
@BwahahaLove 💜
Yes to “binge watching Lupin” Fantastic show!!

hi5 🙌🏻😁 *more like hi10 emoji* can't wait for next season!
My weekend has been about being aware, in these difficult period for me. The universe had a plan for me and my wife, and that plan still is. Be present and day by day.
How youi explained the "straight line" instinct gave me a new insight, thanks. You know a bit about my situation. I have been saying quite a few times during sessions with our counselor that I feel like pulling at a dead horse. Like fighting a whole army.
Now those feelings should be invited. For a cup of tea, or maybe two cups, with some home baked cookies. You should enjoy their company, thank them for dropping by, and tell them they are welcome any time. You should not invite them, and offer them to stay. As you will actually invite the thoughts behind your feelings, It will impact your household, your daily life. Asking, and finally demanding, for attention.
They will consume you. You will create a story that leads you astray.
I agree on the little things. We tend to forget about them, while they can make all the difference. Instead, when things go wrong, and we feel sad, hurt, angry, those things are magnified by our emotions. And we totally forget about the little things that matter. Maybe not forgetting, maybe ignoring them on purpose, for whatever (false) reason.
If that becomes a pattern, listening to your true self becomes more and more challenging.
Common phrase is "love and hate".
My common phrase is "love and fear". Hate arises from fear.
If you notice your "straight line instinct" is woken up, ask yourself what you want to follow, love or fear.

Wise point of view and wonderfully written Duke 💜 thank you!
