What did you do over the weekend?

I spent part of mine watching the 2006 movie Marie Antoinette. It wasn’t the best of the bunch, but it did move me. It got me thinking about a time when women had little power and control over their own lives. When things were decided for you and the world, in general, was chaotic and out of control.

Watching the movie made me grateful for the time that we’re living in now. Yes, it is still chaotic and unpredictable. But for us fortunate ones, we have a lot more control over our emotions, perceptions and our well-being today than we did in the past.

If you’re having some difficulty with getting control over these three, don’t worry because this week’s top posts are all about gaining control of your life. You’ll learn how to re-interpret the way you perceive others, find meaning in your life and how to take back control of your relationships, your life and your well-being this week. Oh and there’s a light post in there that’ll hopefully make you laugh too.

Hope you enjoy it and your week!
