The Sunday Reset: Your Ultimate Guide to Prepping for an Amazing Week Ahead
Hey babe! 🌙✨
Let’s talk about Sunday, that magical day that gives us all the feels. You know the ones I’m talking about—the "I still have time to relax" vibes mixed with a teeny sprinkle of uh-oh, Monday is coming anxiety. But wait, what if we flipped that script? What if Sundays became your secret weapon for owning the week ahead, rather than dreading it?
Enter Sunday Reset to the chat, aka your weekly ritual to clear your mind, reset your space, and get yourself ready to crush whatever comes your way. This isn’t about making Sunday a day of endless chores or boring to-do lists. Nope! It’s about embracing the calm before the storm, so you can walk into Monday with a big smile and a clear game plan.
Ready? Let’s dive into how you can turn your Sunday reset into a ritual you actually look forward to!
1. Cleanse Your Space, Cleanse Your Mind
Think of your living space as an extension of your mental space. If your home feels cluttered, chances are your brain is also feeling a little scattered. So, start your Sunday Reset by doing a quick tidy-up. And I mean quick—this isn’t the time for a full-on deep clean unless you’re really in the mood.
Pro Tip: Put on your favourite playlist, light a candle (we’re obsessed with anything vanilla-scented over here at Moon Co.), and spend 15-20 minutes tidying up. You’ll be amazed at how much more peaceful and zen your space feels afterward.
2. Reflect + Plan = Clarity
Okay, so this part is key. Reflection is your chance to pause, breathe, and give yourself a little credit for surviving (and hopefully thriving) during the past week. Grab your journal, a piece of paper, or just open the notes app on your phone, and ask yourself:
- What went well last week?
- What could I have done differently?
- What am I excited about this week?
Once you've reflected, it's time to get into planning mode. Nothing feels better than starting a new week with a sense of direction. Take 10 minutes to map out your top three priorities for the week. Bonus points if you plan out meals, workouts, or even just when you’re going to take time for yourself. 🌿
Pro Tip: Use colourful pens or stickers in your planner—this makes the whole planning thing feel less like a chore and more like a mini art project.
3. Self-Care Sunday, Baby!
You knew this was coming, right? Sundays are prime time for a little self-care. Whether it’s a long, luxurious bath, a face mask, or some light yoga, choose one or two self-care activities that will help you unwind and recharge. This is all about refuelling your energy tank before the week kicks off.
Pro Tip: Not feeling a full-on spa day? No problem! Self-care can be as simple as taking a walk, enjoying a cup of tea, or reading a few chapters of that book you’ve been meaning to finish.
4. Set Your Intentions
Setting an intention for the week is like planting a little seed of good vibes. Instead of thinking about everything you have to do (stress alert!), focus on how you want to feel. Energised? Calm? Confident? Pick one word or phrase that captures how you want to approach the week.
Write it down, put it on a sticky note, or even say it out loud—whatever works for you. This simple step can completely change how you tackle each day.
5. Get Comfy Early
You know that super cozy, almost too comfortable feeling you get right before bed? Let’s aim to recreate that earlier on Sunday evening. Prep your sleep zone by laying out fresh sheets, fluffing your pillows, and maybe even spritzing a little of your favourite scented spray (yes, we really love scents).
Getting into your comfy clothes or pj's earlier in the evening can help signal to your body that it’s time to wind down. Plus, there’s just something about spending extra time in your comfies that makes everything better. 😌
6. Set a Sunday Night Playlist or Netflix and Relax
Mood matters! End your Sunday with some good vibes by setting a chill playlist as you wind down. This could be lo-fi beats, acoustic jams, or anything that makes you feel calm and centered. Let the music set the tone for the restful, rejuvenating night you deserve, or watch a few eps of your favourite show. The point is to unwind and lwt your mind relax before a big productive week ahead.
