Reading of the Week

This week's reading reminds you to plant your feet so that you can start taking steps in the right direction. Don't get so blinded by the goal that you end up doing nothing because your head is in the clouds dreaming about what could happen. You don't have to know everything, but assess your current reality and choose a direction to walk in.

The 2♦ reminds you to find ways to align with the career path you want whether it's revisiting your resume, working on the skills necessary for your field, or applying for higher positions. Trust your gut and you might find yourself stepping into a leadership role.

Don't shy away from tasks that may seem daunting, especially where money is related. Budget your finances, and I mean actually write out all of your reoccurring expenses and your income and pull out the calculator. Set reminders for bills a few days ahead so your expenses don't come as a surprise in the coming months.

Recommendation:

Money can pull all sorts of reactions out of us, whether we're gaining, losing, investing, etc. It's a good time to separate your self-care and hobbies from the side hustles so you can have a clear time for rest and a clear time for work. I feel like I've said this before but someone didn't hear me: There are resources out there that are available to you if you are willing to search for them.
