WEBVTT - What will your weekend highlight be?

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>tip is that before the weekend begins, consider what your

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>weekend highlight will be. When you imagine your Monday morning

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 1>self recounting your weekend experiences, what would you like to say.

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>With that insight in mind, you are ready to shape

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>a weekend you will be glad to look back on.

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>If you cross paths with other people on Monday mornings, colleagues,

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 1>parents of your kid's classmates, or even the barista at

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>your regular coffee shop, it is likely that you will

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>be asked what you did over the weekend. You're not

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>being interviewed or evaluated. It's just light small talk, but

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>it can still feel disappointing to find yourself replying that

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:13.320
<v Speaker 1>you did nothing much this weekend, or that you spent

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the weekend on errands and life maintenance or driving, or

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>worse still, that you have no idea how you spent

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>the weekend. So today, before the weekend starts, think about

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>what weekend experiences you will feel proud and eager to

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>report next Monday. Aim for something fun and interesting beyond

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:40.320
<v Speaker 1>driving kids to activities and meal prepping for the week.

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to scope out heirloom tomatoes at the

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>farmer's market, Run in a park with red buds blooming,

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Try a new restaurant, have your neighbors over for burgers,

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>make a photo album from the school year. Read a

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>new book by your favorite writer. Try a new recipe

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>for strawberry pavlova. What you do is totally up to you.

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have to fit someone else's idea of what

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>constitutes a meaningful weekend. It just has to be a

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>satisfying weekend to you. So consider if there is someone

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>you would like to get together with. Consider if there

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>is something happening that you'd like to participate in. Consider

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 1>if there is a destination you would like to visit,

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>or perhaps there's something creative you would like to do,

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 1>or a project you would like to make progress on.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to leave your house or spend a

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>dime to have a meaningful weekend, but you probably need

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>to have an intention and do something to consciously use

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>time in an interesting way. If you do that, though,

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 1>you will have an answer on Monday morning to those

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>in inevitable questions. And having some little adventure or moment

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>of happiness to reflect back on can lift your mood too,

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>So think now about what your weekend highlight will likely be.

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you have that experience, and then you will

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:30.359
<v Speaker 1>enjoy Mondays far more. In the meantime, this is Laura.
