Sunday will always have her way with me…
Morning: Slow and Gentle
Wake Up Naturally: Allow yourself to wake up without an alarm. This gives your body the chance to rest fully and start the day with ease.
Hydrate and Stretch: Begin your day by drinking a glass of water and doing some light stretches. This helps wake up your body and mind gently.
Mindful Breakfast: Prepare a breakfast with your favorite foods. Whether it’s avocado toast, a smoothie bowl, or pancakes, take the time to enjoy your meal mindfully. Pray over your food.
Morning Meditation or Reading: Spend some quiet time meditating or reading. This helps set a calm and focused day.
Mid-Morning: Get Moving
Exercise: Engage in a form of exercise you enjoy. It could be pilates (my personal fave), yoga, a walk, a run, or a bike ride. Exercise will always boost your mood and energy levels.
Nature Time: If possible, spend some time outdoors. A walk or a hike can be incredibly clean and grounding.
Midday: Nourishment and Connection
Healthy Lunch: Prepare a healthy, clean lunch. Focus on whole foods that provide energy and nourishment.
Social Time: Connect with family or friends over lunch or a matcha. Social interactions can lift your spirits and strengthen your relationships.
Hobbies and Creativity: Dedicate some time to a hobby or creative activity. Whether it’s painting, writing, playing an instrument, or gardening, engaging in something you love can be deeply fulfilling.
Afternoon: Relax and Reflect
Quiet Time: Set aside some quiet time for yourself. Read a book, listen to music, or take a nap. This is your time to recharge.
Plan for the Week: Take a few moments to plan your week ahead. Write down your goals, to-do lists, and any important appointments. This can help you start the week feeling organized and prepared.
Evening: Wind Down
Light Dinner: Prepare a light, nutritious dinner. Focus on foods that are easy to digest and won't disrupt your sleep.
Unplug: Limit screen time in the evening. Instead, opt for activities that promote relaxation, such as reading, journaling, or spending time with loved ones.
Evening Walk: If the weather permits, take a short walk after dinner. It can aid digestion and help you unwind.
Self-Care: Indulge in some self-care activities. This could be a warm bath, a face mask, or some gentle stretches to relax your muscles.
Night: Prepare for Rest
Reflect and Express Gratitude: Spend a few moments reflecting on your day. Write down or mentally note a few things you’re grateful for. This practice can enhance your sense of well-being.
Bedtime Routine: Establish a calming bedtime routine. Dim the lights, listen to soothing music, read a few pages of a book.
Early to Bed: Aim to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Ensuring you get a good night’s sleep is crucial for starting the week with energy and clarity.
