Sundays are the most important days of the week. While other days are made for working, stressing over responsibilities, and other forms of productivity, Sundays are made for you and you only. Self-care Sundays.
This is the day you reset and prepare for the next week. This is the day when you prioritize your mental and overall physical health. Here are a few things that your self-care Sunday should consist of.
Rest On Self-Care Sundays
The number one thing to engage in on Sundays is rest. Whatever resting looks like for you is exactly what you should do on Sundays. While Friday nights and Saturdays were likely your hangout days, Sunday should be the weekend day you devote to taking care of yourself.
The next day will be full of classes, assignments, work, and surprises; therefore, you want to make sure you are well-rested for whatever may come on the next day.
Sleeping isn’t the only form of resting, though it is an excellent and effective form of rest. However, there are other ways of resting, and rest looks different for everyone.
Rest may look like laying down, eating snacks, watching a movie or watching all your favorite shows. Or maybe your rest looks like yoga or meditation. Regardless of circumstances, you should always take a break from focusing on responsibilities to rest your mind and body.
Skincare & Health Care Routines
Our physical health is just as important as our mental health. We all have routines specific to our bodies and health, from shower routines to before and after shower routines.
For instance, exfoliating is a very important part of our healthcare. Maybe you have a detailed skin routine, facial cleansing, and mask that you do only once a week. Maybe this is the day you wash your hair, oil your hair, and style your hair for the upcoming week.
