Hey folks, Robin here from Dear Headspace.
Now you've heard the old saying, give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, he eats for life.

Headspace studio. Hello, it's Eve here, and welcome to Radio Headspace and to Friday.
The last few weekends for me have been particularly busy.
I've been finishing up a training course and getting back into the swing of things after some travel.
The amount of times I've said as Monday rolled around.
I wish I had more time just for being with the weekend.
So today is all about what we can do to honor this.
As I don't want you to have that same feeling this coming Monday.
You might be listening to this at the start of Friday or perhaps you're already in the weekend.
So I ask you the following question.
What can you do this weekend that really supports being in the weekend?
Now this doesn't necessarily just mean sleeping or vegging out watching TV.
Although both of those things are completely okay.
But I really encourage you to notice when you find yourself caught up in the week ahead.
Notice where your mind tends to go.
And this is not about judging yourself or criticizing yourself.
But it's interesting watching the mind in this way.
How it has this tendency to want to jump ahead.
Equally, are you filling the weekend up with a long list of tasks?
Which, if you're anything like me, might make you feel good in the short term but then leaves you feeling a little resentful later on.
Now I know that all of us have responsibilities.
But what can you do this weekend to really nourish you?
That means you are being in the weekend instead of doing the weekend.
And this made me remember a poem.
Now the title is, If I Had to Live My Life Over Again.
It's by a lady called Nadine Stair who was 85 at the time of writing it.
And I'll read it to you now.
I would, perhaps, have more actual troubles but fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I'm one of those people who was sensible and sane.
Hour after hour, day after day.
Oh, I've had my moments.
If I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them.
In fact, I'd try to have nothing else, just moments.
One after another. Instead of living so many years ahead of each day.
I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute.
If I could do it again, I would travel lighter than I have.
If I had to live my life over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall.
I would go to more dances.
I would ride more merry -go -rounds.
I would pick more daisies.
Thank you, Nadine, for this wonderful reminder to be with all the moments in life.
So, as this episode comes to a close, I encourage you to set an intention for this weekend, an intention to stay in this weekend.
Thank you so much for listening.
Have a lovely weekend, and I'll see you back here on Monday.
Oh, and one final thing.
