They call it Sunday Scaries.
That odd, unsettling feeling of dread for the following week – the Monday emails, never-ending to-do list, and the sense that the weekend wasn’t long enough.
I get it. Happens to all of us.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t fight back, so here are 3 simple ways to kick the Sunday Scaries to the curb:
Time for a quick brain dump!
Grab a pen and paper. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Then Jot down every thought swirling around your brain to “release” them.
Order them in terms of importance.
From there, organize your tasks into three distinct collections:
1) tasks you can finish tonight in under 45 minutes to get a head start on next week
2) tasks you’d like to take care of first thing in the morning, and
3) tasks you don’t have to handle until after the following week’s braindump.
How do you like to wind down?
After completing your small tasks and making your to-do lists… it’s time to go full spa mode.
Turn off the lights, let the sweet aroma of your favorite candle fill the air, and take a longggg shower.
Put on those comfy PJs, brew a cup of herbal tea, and crack open that book you’ve been putting off.
Whatever you have time for and whatever helps you feel pampered and taken care of.

Nighttime skincare is a MUST
Your evening skincare routine is more than just a way to show your skin some love. It’s a signal to your body that it’s time to rest and restore.
So please, take your time, savor those small moments dedicated to your emotional and physical wellbeing, and enjoy the calm with any product of your choice.
They say a few affirmations while looking in the mirror. Our favorites are:
I am deserving of love, care, and respect from myself and others.
I nourish my mind, body, and spirit with kindness and compassion.
- I see and celebrate my uniqueness and the beauty of my authentic self.
It’s time to shift your mindset, harness its power…
And take back your Sundays!
