The Ultimate Sunday Reset Routine: Set Yourself Up for a Fresh & Organized Week
Celeste La ScalaShare
Sundays are the perfect opportunity to not only relax but to reset your environment, mind, and routines so that you're set up for a smooth, stress-free week. By taking some time to implement these practices, you’ll feel more organized, clear-headed, and ready to take on the week ahead with energy and intention.
Step 1: Tidy Up & Refresh Your Space
Your home is your sanctuary, so starting the week with a clean, calm environment will help you feel more centered. Here’s how to reset your space:
✔ Declutter & Organize – Start by decluttering high-traffic areas like the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. Put away anything that’s out of place, like shoes, personal items, or cups & dishes. Focus on areas that will have the biggest impact on your daily routine (think: your work area, sleep area or your kitchen).
✔ Reset Your Home’s Energy – To refresh the vibe of your space, open the windows to let in fresh air or light a calming candle. Consider using essential oils with a diffuser or a natural room spray to uplift your environment. Scents like lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus can help clear any stagnant energy and create a calming atmosphere.
✔ Set Up Your Routine Zones – Make sure your work, self-care, and relaxation areas are ready for the week ahead. Set up a designated work station, tidy up your bathroom for your morning and evening routines, and create a cozy spot for winding down at the end of the each day. The goal is to make each area inviting and functional so you can move smoothly through your day. It's also important that the space is designed to help achieve the intended feeling when you're in it. For example, you want to associate your bedroom with peace and restful sleep, not eating and socializing.
Step 2: Plan & Prep Your Meals
Meal prep isn’t just about food—it’s about freeing up time during the week and ensuring you’re nourishing your body. This step makes the week ahead feel easier and more organized:
✔ Acrylic Calendar for Menu & Grocery Lists – Map out your meals for the week using a clear, easy-to-read acrylic calendar or whiteboard. This helps you plan what’s for dinner each night and ensures you don’t forget any ingredients. Make your grocery list based on your planned meals to avoid midweek trips to the store and prevent unnecessary purchases. GET OUR FAVES HERE.
✔ Stackable Containers – To make meal prep and food storage effortless (and avoid keeping your food sitting in plastic for days on end), use stackable GLASS containers for storing your prepped meals, dinner leftovers and washed fruit and veg. This helps you maximize fridge space, keep your food fresh longer, and make it easy to grab a meal when you’re on the go. SHOP OUR FAVES HERE.
✔ Overnight Oats Containers – Start your mornings on the right foot by prepping your breakfasts in advance. Overnight oats, chia puddings & Protein Yogurts are a fantastic option for busy mornings where you need to just grab and go. These containers are perfect for portioning, preparing and preserving whatever you decide to make, and they come with the cutest little spoons attached so you don't even have to worry about cutlery!
Step 3: Reset Your Self-Care & Beauty Routine
Your Sunday reset is a great time to refocus on self-care, making sure your mind and body are ready to take on the week ahead:
✔ Mouth Tape – A simple yet effective way to improve sleep quality is using mouth tape to encourage nose breathing overnight. This practice can help promote better rest by reducing snoring, improving oxygen intake, and even preventing dry mouth. Consider using mouth tape for a more restful, restorative sleep.

✔ Tongue Scrape – Incorporating a tongue scraping practice into your morning routine is an easy way to support your digestive system and improve oral hygiene. Scraping your tongue removes bacteria, dead cells, and food debris, which helps promote better digestion, fresher breath, and a cleaner mouth. TRY OUR FAVE HERE.
✔ Gua Sha – Add a gua sha facial massage to your Sunday self-care routine. This ancient practice helps boost circulation, relieve facial tension, and reduce puffiness, giving your skin a natural glow. Take a few minutes to gently glide the gua sha tool along your jawline, cheekbones, and forehead for a soothing, spa-like experience. BUY OUR FAVE HERE.
✔ Apply SPF – Whether you’re indoors or outdoors, protecting your skin with SPF is non-negotiable. Apply your SPF (like our FAVE - Naked Sundays!) each morning to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. This will keep your skin healthy and glowing throughout the week and prevent premature aging.
Step 4: Digital Detox & Set Your Intentions
Disconnecting from your devices and setting meaningful intentions will help you approach the week with clarity and focus:
✔ Implement a Digital Detox – Start by setting a “no phone” policy for 30 minutes before bed and 30 minutes after waking up. This window of time allows you to wake up and wind down without the distraction of screens. Keeping your phone in a separate room while you sleep is another great way to minimize EMF exposure and ensure better rest.
✔ Set Intentions for the Week – Take a few minutes to reflect on your goals for the upcoming week. Write them down in a journal or planner, and think about how you want to approach each task with purpose. Set a clear intention for the week (whether it's work-related, personal, or both) and check in with your goals throughout the week to keep you on track.
✔ Prep Your Household – This is also a great opportunity to ensure you're entire family or household are on the same page with the week ahead. Magnetic Calendars for your Fridge or any communal areas are a GREAT home edition to effectively communicate and keep everyone on the same page - one-day-at-a-time! They're KEY for keeping track of events, appointments, household to-do's, shopping and grocery lists, dinner menus and more. And, they help reduce screen-time because you're not constantly on a digital planner or communicating on 100 social platforms for simple notes and tasks. SHOP OUR FAVES HERE.
✔ Create Meaningful Routines & Rituals – Establish routines that align with your values and bring a sense of purpose to your day. Whether it’s morning meditation, an evening skincare ritual, or a daily walk, having these rituals in place ensures that you’re investing time in things that matter most to you. Habit stacking is key here—combine smaller tasks with existing routines (like adding a gratitude practice to your morning coffee) to create a seamless flow throughout your day.
