Are you looking to incorporate a Sunday Reset Routine but don’t know where to start?
Having a Sunday Reset Routine is a great way to start the new week. Whether it’s tidying up your space or getting a mani-pedi because you deserve it. Your Sunday Reset routine is a time to engage in activities that allow you to feel relaxed, productive, and ready to start the new week on a positive note.
Disclaimer: Sundays are not the only day of the week where you can practice self-care. Also, self-care activities do not have to be enjoyed only on the weekends. It is important to choose multiple days out of the week that you feel comfortable engaging in self-care. Your self-care during the week is very important to how you feel throughout the week, so make sure you allocate those days. Self-care is whatever you make it and it could look like anything you desire that brings you peace.
What is a Sunday Reset Routine?
- A Sunday reset routine, in other words Sunday reset or Sunday routine, is a day that you set to prepare yourself for the upcoming week. Because Sunday is the start of the week and a part of the weekend, it works best for most people as the day of preparation. It is also a day of extra self-care. A time where one may spend extra time to love themselves and the things that make them feel loved and at peace. A few examples of extra self care could be an intimate shower routine, taking the time to clean our physical and mental spaces, treating ourselves to nail appointments, and making ourselves a delicious hot meal.
What do you do in a Sunday Reset Routine?
- Sunday routines consist of anything that you may need to do to prepare for the upcoming week and to show yourself some extra love. You can do things that you need to get done off your to-do list. Your Sunday routines should not only allow you to be productive but also a routine where you can prioritize your needs and wants.
Below you will find 9 essential activities you can include in your Sunday routine as a place to start.
Sundays are for:
Setting the vibes
- Light a candle, play your favorite playlist, add oil to that diffuser and get the day started. You can do this before, during, or after your Sunday routine.
Planning
- Whether it is the work week or school week, it can get really busy during the week. Take some time to sit and plan out your day and the upcoming week in a planner. Write down any upcoming appointments, events, and important deadlines. This way you are up to date and see everything that needs to be done. This will help to keep you organized and less overwhelmed.
Deep Cleans
- Your space is your sanctuary, fit for a Queen like you. You think clearly when your space is clean. This sets you up with a fresh start during the week so when you look around your home, you have peace of mind knowing that it smells good and is clutter-free.
Meal Prep
- Preparing your meals for the week saves you so much time, energy, and money. Meal prepping allows you to get up and go and gives you peace in knowing that you will still have a well-balanced meal during your busy day and that you’re not spending unnecessary money and time trying to find something to eat. Your body is a temple and we should eat to fuel ourselves because the food we eat help to keep us looking and feeling great.
Extended Self-Care
- Your designated self-care days are the days when you dedicate extra time for yourself. Whether you’re getting your nails done, getting a massage, meditating, taking yourself out on a date, or enjoying quality time alone time. Get creative on what self-care looks like for you and what you suits you best.
Skincare
- Take time with your skincare and allow yourself to be gentle on your skin. No rushing or cutting any corners. Use products that work best for you and that your skin loves. A gentle cleanser, toner, and moisturizer are the first steps toward healthier skin.
Bodycare
- Have fun with your body care products and smell goods. Invest in quality products and layer your fragrances. Body oils help to lock in moisture and help scents to last longer on your skin. When paired with a body butter or lotion, body oils will help you to achieve a beautiful dewy, and hydrated look. Another plus for lasting fragrance is to make sure all your products fall within the same scent notes. For example, for a fresh powder scent, make sure that your soap, lotion, body oil, and perfume smell along the lines of fresh powder. This will help to enhance your scent and will allow for your scent to last longer. Tip: putting vaseline in the specific area you want to smell good helps too!
Unwind
- Unwind and allow yourself to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. This is the moment to kick up your feet and ease your mind from any stressors. Allow yourself to wallow in the present moment and be thankful for life. This is a perfect time to meditate, talk to God, manifest your dreams, or do nothing. This is your time, spend it doing whatever you like.
Cook Your Favorite Meal
- Unwind while eating your favorite meal and watching your favorite show. Treat yourself to something warm, home-cooked, or takeout, and enjoy the vibes of a clean home and good food.
Your Sunday reset routine should be tailored to you and whatever you need and want to do to prep for the upcoming week. Every Sunday will not look the same and sometimes it will.
Remember that rest is productive too, so be sure to include it in your weekend routine as much as you’d like.
