Let’s be honest—most “Sunday resets” online look like they belong in a Pinterest fever dream. Perfect planners, spotless kitchens, and three hours of journaling in linen pajamas? Yeah, no thanks.
Here’s the real-life version. No pressure, no perfection—just a few small things you can do on a Sunday to make the upcoming week feel less like a slow-motion car crash.
1. Clear the Chaos (Just a Little)
Forget the full-house deep clean. Pick two things that will make Monday easier—like unloading the dishwasher or tossing that pile of laundry into the dryer. You don’t need a spotless house to feel human, just a few clear spots where your brain can rest.
2. Take a Long, Hot Shower (The Ritual Kind)
This is where you hit reset. Toss a Bitch Relax or Exhale the Bullshit shower steamer on the floor, let the steam do its thing, and just breathe for 10 damn minutes. No phone, no thinking about emails. Just hot water and your own thoughts catching up.
3. Lotion Up Like You Mean It
It’s not “pampering,” it’s basic maintenance. Grab your favorite Explicit lotion—maybe Ray of Fucking Sunshine if you’re feeling meh—and turn 30 seconds of moisturizing into a mini ritual. It’s shocking how much better life feels when you don’t feel like a lizard.
4. Make One List (and Stop There)
Dump all the “shoulds” out of your head and onto paper. Then circle three things that actually matter this week. Just three. The rest can wait—or get deleted.
5. Create a Tiny Joy to Look Forward To
Maybe it’s a special coffee Monday morning, a midweek FaceTime with your ride-or-die, or just knowing you have clean sheets to crawl into tonight. It doesn’t have to be big. But it matters.
6. Call It Done
The point of a Sunday reset isn’t to fix everything—it’s to make space for you. Rest. Be still. Watch that trash TV show without guilt.
Because honestly? The world can wait.
