You see it popping up everywhere now: the 'Sunday reset.' Or 'Refresh my home with me.' Houses are tidied, cleaned, the 'everything shower' is done, extensive grocery shopping for the week, and some even do meal prep. We think this is incredibly impressive, and it's wonderful to start your week this way on Monday! Some weeks, this feels very achievable... and some weeks... it feels like too much and only overstimulates.
Do you have such a day, week, or month?
Then start small. Here are three tips:
Set a one-hour timer!
Give yourself one hour to do as much as possible. You'll often be surprised by how much you get done. So, don't force yourself to scrub, cook, or shop all day. Instead, work for one hour. That will make a difference.
Go to bed on time!
This is, of course, the ultimate self-care and the best tip to feel fresh and energetic again. Dive into bed! (Without your phone...) Read a good book or meditate. Try to get those 8 hours. This certainly contributes to your night's rest. Having trouble falling asleep? Then definitely try an eyepillow (See our current assortment here) The eyepillow helps you fall asleep with its scent and weight.
Let it go!
Sometimes the trick is just to let it go. To do what you feel like doing. This can be very refreshing. Don't be strict with yourself, give yourself a pat on the back. Tomorrow is another day. Put on a nice movie for yourself with a cup of tea, put your feet up, and relax! That laundry basket will still be there tomorrow.
Being kind to yourself is the most important thing. Listen to what your body needs!
An eyepillow fits well into a calm evening routine.
