Your Friday Self-Leadership Reflection - Week 29, 2026 - What You Can Actually Move

Here in New York City, the summer has been swinging.

Some days, so hot your clothes are soaked before you get to the corner. Other days, cold enough that you're underdressed. And in between... drizzle, spitting rain, humidity, sun.

I keep hearing people complaining about the weather… Fixated on it, in fact… 

And…  fixation is just trying to control the uncontrollable.

Where is your attention going?

On elements you do control or elements you don’t?

And… what is it costing you to fixate on things out of your control?

Here are your Week 29, 2026

Friday Self-Leadership Reflections:

1. High Point of the Week
Where this week did you notice yourself pulled toward something you couldn't control... and then bring your attention back to what you actually could?

⸻

2. Wisdom from a Challenge
Where this week did you catch yourself complaining about something you couldn't do anything about? And what is underneath that complaint... what is it really about?

⸻

3. Opportunity for the Week Ahead
What's one situation in the week ahead where you've been focused on what you can't change? And what's one small thing that IS in your control that you could do about it instead?

_____________________________________________________________________________

Answer them somewhere.

Journal them. Speak them out loud to a peer. 

Just don't leave them in your head. 

Have fun with these… And … Go enjoy the weather outside!
