Sunday Reflections: What I’ve Been Thinking About This Week

As the new weeks starts, I’ve been reflecting on themes that have come up in my personal life, my work, and the moments of stillness in between. Here are three thoughts to carry into the new week:

1. Simplicity Is Freedom

When we let go of what clutters our minds, hearts, and lives, we create space for clarity and joy. This isn’t just about decluttering our homes; it’s about freeing ourselves from unnecessary emotional baggage and distractions. What can you release today to make room for peace?

2. The Power of Beginnings

Every moment is an opportunity to start anew. Whether it’s a new year, a new week, or just a fresh morning, beginnings are reminders that we can choose differently. What small step can you take today to realign with your purpose?

3. Rest Is an Act of Strength

In a world that glorifies productivity, resting can feel counterintuitive. But rest is where we recharge, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves. How can you honor your need for rest this weekend and allow it to fuel you for what’s ahead?

Reflective Insight

rest is not a weakness
it is a whisper
telling you to pause
to breathe
to gather strength
so you can show up
for what matters most
