Are you ready for the week? I can say honestly that I haven’t been doing my Sunday night reset. When I was being intentional about getting ready for the week, it seemed to make me more organized. Not sure what happened but I just completely stopped getting prepared. Maybe I stopped because I was exhausted after being on the road and enjoying Sunday Funday’s. This morning it hit me hard that the routine that I enjoyed doing hadn’t been happening in months. Then I thought maybe I am a failure, but that isn’t true at all. I don’t want to beat myself up, instead I am going to create a list of what is important to me and try to get back into good habits that help my mental health and wellbeing. Just because I fell off the wagon doesn’t mean I can’t dust myself off and try again.
What did I do that made my life easier on Sunday evenings you may be wondering…here’s a few things that helped me tremendously.
Pulling out 6 work outfits (one is extra so I have choices). Paired with undergarments and jewelry. That way I can make the decision quickly. I do try not to wear same outfits every week.
Using my medication organizer. That way I am not having to use extra time to open all my bottles twice a day. If I have the pills ready to go, I will take them everyday as prescribed. Otherwise I may not take my medication every day.
Meal planning for my work lunches. If any prep work is needed will get that done as well. With it being summertime I am leaning towards sandwiches, pinwheels, pasta salads and adult lunchables. Meal prepping seems to make sense to me as it saves time and money. Waiting till the morning to figure out what I’m going to eat for lunch can be stressful. Who needs stress at 6 am?
On weekends Mr. C. Makes sure my gas tank is full. He also will check fluids and make sure my air in tires is where they need to be. Am so thankful that he keeps his eyes on our vehicles. Plus I don’t have to be out in either extreme heat or cold depending on Oklahoma weather.
I also like to go thru the house and straighten up places that need a little assistance. I need to make myself a cleaning chart, maybe focusing on one room a day or however I choose to clean.
Do you have a routine that you are currently doing? I am open to any suggestions on what might work better for me.
