Welcome back to another episode of Jenni’s Uncensored Pennies. Today's topic is all about slowing down and being more present in our busy, chaotic lives. We've all experienced that overwhelming feeling of time whizzing by so fast it feels like New Year's Eve was just yesterday. Amidst this whirlwind, I've been trying to explore ways on how to slow down and savour the present. Through discussions with my therapist and a lot of self-reflection, one solution I’ve found is to take time for oneself, disconnecting from the hypnotizing world of digital devices. In a world where we are always surrounded by technology, deliberately disconnecting can actually feel liberating. Spending quality time with family, friends, loved ones and savouring those moments contribute significantly to slowing our lives down. Moreover, the practice of mindfulness and meditation further aids in grounding us in the present. An overlooked aspect which often accelerates our perception of time is our consumption of alcohol. While it's common to grab a beer after a gruelling week at work, it sometimes makes the weekend fly by. Reducing alcohol intake, especially during social gatherings, can help us remain more present and genuinely enjoy our time. So here’s to slowing down and truly living in the present moment. After all, time will keep on ticking, and it's up to us to make the most of it. I hope this episode lends some beneficial insights. Feel free to reach out on my Instagram @dj_adam_herrera. Wishing everyone a great week ahead. Stay tuned for more enlightening conversations on Jenni’s Uncensored Pennies.

Welcome to a fresh episode of Jenni's Uncensored Pennies. In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of 'Weekend Anxiety Syndrome' and how to navigate it. This is initiated by the apprehension of wanting to make the most of your weekend, worrying about striking a balance between self-care, relaxation, and productivity, amidst the fear of missing out. We discuss how social media plays a role in exacerbating this anxiety by providing a highlight reel of other people's lives, leading to self-comparison and unwarranted pressure.

The build-up of anxiety culminates into a sense of relief once the gig is underway, hence showing how performance-related pressure augments 'Weekend Anxiety Syndrome'. Continuous effort to disconnect from the social media frenzy, staying present, reducing the habit of overactive performance, and embracing the state of just 'being' instead of 'doing' are some of the proposed ways to mitigate this stress. Allowing time simply to be—on a beach, on your couch, or in the moment—can help reduce weekend stress. The episode concludes with the importance of enjoying ourselves throughout the week and not packing all the leisure activities into the weekend, thus reducing the strain. The weekend doesn't solely have to bear the burden of delivering good times if we manage to spread joy and relaxation evenly throughout the week. Finally, we invite you to engage with us on Instagram @ DJ Adam Herrera and Jennifer @ jennis_pennies.
