Why Pause and Reflect on Things Mid-Week

Wednesday is the time to take a mid-week pause and reflect.

Wednesday is ruled by the planet of communication and expression, Mercury. This makes Wednesday the perfect time to get clear about what you want and where you are heading.

Wednesday is also the perfect time to schedule meetings, networking events and any important calls.

Mercury rules the higher mind, so brainstorming and ideas usually flourish on Wednesday. Save this day to workshop ideas and come up with creative projects. It is also the perfect time to get clear about any difficult life decisions.

Being the midpoint of the week, the energy of the Wednesday also provides us with a clue as to whether or not we are paying attention to our needs and what energy we are expressing out into the Universe.

In order to best use the energy of Wednesday, take the opportunity to express yourself and contemplate on whether the energy you are sending out into the Universe is aligned with what you want for yourself.

On this Wednesday, let's take the time and reflect what we have already done this week and what to focus on to end the week moving forward.

Some great individuals looking for a new opportunity are:

Marissa Mostoller Helsley

As a teacher at Somerset Area School District, I have achieved an extremely high rate of customer success with over five years of experience in leadership, project management, and data analysis. I have planned and implemented engaging lessons based on individual learners' goals, and monitored their progress and growth using various assessment tools and strategies. I have also collaborated with other teachers, administrators, and parents to provide feedback and support, and to ensure alignment with the district's standards and objectives.I recently completed my master's degree in elementary reading and literacy from Walden University, where I gained valuable knowledge and skills in curriculum development, instructional design, and literacy intervention. I am passionate about helping students develop their reading and writing skills, and fostering a love of learning and reading in them. I am also eager to broaden my horizons by exploring new opportunities and applying my expertise and experience in different settings and contexts.
