Make Sundays Your Secret Weapon for a Stress-Free Week

Celeste La Scala

There’s something magical about Sundays. It’s the perfect time to rest and reset—emotionally, mentally, and physically. By establishing a Sunday Reset Routine, you'll ease into the week ahead with clarity, calm, and purpose. Here’s how you can use this quiet time to recharge your space, nourish your body, and set your intentions.

Step 1: Clear the Clutter & Reset Your Space

A clean, organized home can work wonders on your mindset. Here’s how to reset your space to set the tone for the week:

Declutter High-Traffic Areas – Start by tidying up the areas where you spend the most time, such as your kitchen, bedroom, or office space. Get rid of anything that doesn’t belong—this includes putting away dishes, shoes, and other personal items that create visual chaos.

Set the Mood with Scent & Energy – Refresh your home’s energy by opening windows for fresh air, lighting a calming candle, or diffusing essential oils. Scents like eucalyptus, lavender, and lemon help uplift the atmosphere and promote a sense of tranquility.

Create Purposeful Zones – Prepare your work area, self-care station, and relaxation corner. Organizing these spaces with intention will allow you to focus on what matters most, whether it’s productivity, self-care, or downtime.

Step 2: Plan & Prep Your Meals for the Week Ahead

Meal planning doesn’t have to be stressful. Use this time to organize and prep for the week so that meals feel effortless:

Acrylic Calendar for Menu & Grocery Lists – Write out your weekly meals on a clear acrylic calendar or dry-erase board. This helps you plan meals, avoid unnecessary grocery trips, and stay on track with your healthy eating goals. Shop our favorite acrylic calendars HERE.

Stackable Containers for Food Prep – Keep your fridge neat and your meals fresh with stackable glass containers. These are perfect for storing prepped meals, leftovers, and chopped veggies, ensuring you’ll always have a nutritious option ready to go. Grab our top pick for stackable containers HERE.

Overnight Oats Containers – Simplify your mornings by prepping breakfast the night before. Overnight oats containers are a game-changer for busy mornings—they allow you to create portioned meals for the week with minimal effort. Check out our recommended breakfast containers HERE.

Step 3: Reset Your Self-Care & Beauty Routine

Sunday is the perfect day to reset your beauty and wellness routine. These small acts of self-care will help you feel rejuvenated and prepared for the week:

Mouth Tape for Better Sleep – A great way to improve your sleep is by using mouth tape to encourage nose breathing. This can reduce snoring, improve oxygen intake, and prevent dry mouth, leading to a deeper, more restorative sleep. Try our favorite mouth tape HERE.

Tongue Scrape for Digestive Health – Start your morning with a tongue scrape to eliminate bacteria and food particles, promote better digestion, and freshen your breath. It’s a simple habit that makes a huge difference. Shop our go-to tongue scraper HERE.

Gua Sha for Glowing Skin – Add a Gua Sha facial massage to your Sunday self-care routine. This ancient practice stimulates circulation, reduces puffiness, and promotes a natural glow. Spend a few minutes each Sunday evening with this soothing treatment. Buy our recommended Gua Sha tool HERE.

Daily SPF Protection – Protect your skin each morning with a nourishing SPF. Even if you’re mostly indoors, applying SPF (like our fave—Naked Sundays!) will keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and shielded from harmful UV rays. Shop Naked Sundays SPF HERE.

Step 4: Digital Detox & Set Your Intentions

Disconnecting from technology and setting intentions for the week will bring clarity and focus to your upcoming days:

Implement a Digital Detox – Set a no-phone rule for 30 minutes before bed and 30 minutes after waking up. This helps you avoid digital distractions and allows you to enjoy a peaceful morning and evening. Keep your phone in a separate room while you sleep to minimize EMF exposure and improve your sleep quality.

Set Your Intentions for the Week – Take a few moments to reflect on what you want to accomplish during the week. Write down your goals and keep them visible throughout the week to stay on track. Whether it’s career-focused, personal development, or health-related, a clear intention will help you stay motivated and purposeful.

Prep Your Household – Make sure everyone in the household is on the same page for the week. Consider using a magnetic calendar or communal planner in your kitchen or common areas to organize events, appointments, and grocery lists. This keeps everyone in sync and reduces unnecessary screen time. Find our favorite magnetic calendars HERE.

Create Meaningful Routines – Implement routines and rituals that align with your values and support your goals. Whether it’s a morning meditation, evening skincare ritual, or a daily walk, these habits help you stay grounded and focused. By stacking small tasks with existing routines (like journaling while having your coffee), you’ll ensure these rituals become a seamless part of your day.

 

Wrap Up: Reset for a Week of Success

By dedicating time to reset your home, plan your meals, care for your body, and disconnect digitally, you’ll set yourself up for a week filled with productivity, balance, and clarity. It’s all about the small rituals and practices that help you feel your best. As you wind down your Sunday, remember: you’ve got everything you need to make the week ahead a success. A little planning goes a long way!
