Last weekend I had a lot of fun and hung out with some really good friends and some new friends. It was great spending social time outside with people from throughout our friend group, however, it was a break from my typical good habits.
This weekend I had a lot of fun but didn’t veer too far away from my habits. I feel refreshed for Monday and don’t feel like I sacrificed my mind or health to have fun. Although it might seem like an obvious skill, being responsible on the weekend creates personal progress.
My past two weekends have been opposites in being responsible (last weekend not so responsible, this weekend fun but more responsible) and each taught me a lesson. I learned I don’t want to repeat my irresponsible weekends very often. I also learned I can have fun without being irresponsible. Personal progress isn’t always a giant leap forward but a small (incremental) step in the right direction.
