Τhe ultimate Sunday reset! How to physically and mentally prepare for the new week ahead

Sundays have a certain magic to them—a perfect blend of reflection and preparation, rest and gentle motivation. Instead of letting the day slip away with looming Monday anxiety, you can turn it into your most powerful tool for starting the week strong. Here’s how to craft the ultimate Sunday reset to get your body and mind fully aligned for what’s ahead.

Start slow
Don’t rush into your Sunday. Let it begin with ease. Wake up naturally if possible, stretch in bed, and enjoy a slow morning routine. Whether that means sipping coffee in silence, taking your time to do your skincare, journaling, or going for a walk, use this time to reconnect with yourself before diving into tasks.

Move your body
While rest is key, light movement can energize you and release tension. Consider yoga, a nature walk, or a short home workout. This isn’t about burning calories—it’s about boosting your mood and getting your body into a rhythm.

Clean & reset your space

A cluttered space can equal a cluttered mind. Use Sunday to do a light refresh of your environment:

• Tidy up your living area

• Change your bedsheets

• Do a quick fridge clean-out

• Take out the trash

• Light a candle or diffuse essential oils

Creating a clean, calm space sends a signal to your brain that you’re ready to reset.

Plan your week ahead
Write down a to-do list with all or some of your chores, appointments and meetings. This small act of organizing your time makes Monday feel much more manageable.

Do something joyful
Schedule something you genuinely enjoy—a hobby, a fun outing, a creative project, or even a phone call with a friend. Your reset should nourish your soul as much as it prepares your schedule.
