Show Notes:
I used to have this weird mindset where I didn’t want to think about the week ahead too much because I was afraid of jinxing it or manifesting something bad happening. But I had no idea what manifesting was, so it wasn’t thought about like that. But it was just so odd to fear looking at the week ahead. I think it was because I was enduring so much pain & trauma on the regular that I didn’t want to know what was coming.

And maybe you haven’t endured any pain or trauma that relates to fearing what is coming next or have to deal with anxiety, but if you find it difficult at all to prepare your mindset for the week ahead, I am here to share with you why it’s important & integral to your week & how you can do it in the most beneficial way.

Taking a little bit of time to preview the week ahead will help you make any decisions on what needs to change based on last week, what you want to do differently to have a different type of week and to make sure you feel prepared, mentally & physically, for what you need to accomplish and work on. We can only do what we have control over, which is ourselves, but we can still make a difference on our week with ourselves. Also, you need to prepare your mind for ways to pump yourself up when the days get tough and feel unbearable.

In the last episode, we chatted about the best way to review and reflect on the past week to gain more clarity and direction in what needs to improve and what HAS been improving but we didn’t notice in the moment. Check out that episode if you haven’t already listened to it. It will help you learn to review, which will couple well with today’s episode on how to preview and then you’ll be able to put those together for a great practice of self-awareness & mindset flexibility.

Today, we are going to chat about how to preview the week ahead to be as prepared as you can for what you know is going to happen. But it’s still all about being flexible in our mindset and knowing we can do our best to prepare for everything (which shouldn’t be the goal, really) but still have to deal with unexpected difficulties.  But as always, we can only control what we can control.
