Preparing for a Good Week Ahead
Happy Sunday! There are a few tricks to setting yourself up to have a really good week ahead. How you spend your Sunday has a big impact on you feel the rest of the week. Having a Sunday ritual helps to create the positive environment and mindset you want to have in order to be prepared for a really great week ahead. Here are some tips:
meal prep: taking some time out of your day to meal prep will allow you to get all of your meals ready for you to just grab and eat during the week. Not only will it save you time and stress, but it also makes it so much easier to eat healthy since you don’t have to think about it.
clean up your space: the way your space looks makes a huge impact on the way you feel. If your home is messy, you feel like your life is a mess, too. Kick off the week right by spending a little time on Sunday tidying up.
enjoy some self care: taking time for yourself on Sunday will boost your mood, relieve stress, and will make you feel overall happier so that you can dive into the new week with a good mindset.
set your intentions: setting an intention for the week ahead is so powerful. It’s not so much about goal setting or what you want to check off your to do list; it’s more about deciding how you want to feel in advance.
plan out your week: this one is especially important if you know you have a busy week up ahead. Instead of just letting your to-do list roam around in your mind, get it all down on paper and map out when you’ll get what done. This will instantly relieve some stress which allows you to focus on just the tasks that need to get done for the day — instead of feeling overwhelmed by everything that needs to get done that week.

Common Reasons for seeking out Therapy
Many people don’t seek out therapy until things have become so unmanageable that they can longer function properly. Life can be crazy and during this time, we have somehow stopped listening to our bodies, minds, and spirits and have come to a place where our lifestyle is no longer sustainable. This is a vicious cycle that we must become aware of and break. If you relate to any of these common reasons, maybe it’s time to find a good therapist and give yourself some TLC. Here are some very common reasons we need to become aware of:
depression and anxiety
adjusting to changes in life
relationship difficulties
addiction
mood changes
changes in eating and/or sleeping habits
grief
personal growth and deeper awareness
If any of these issues resonate with you, you are not alone and it’s totally normal to be experiencing any number of those listed curveballs at any given time! I encourage you to pause and check in with yourself and your needs. Therapy can be the link to help you reconnect with your needs and develop the tools to help you cope with the curveballs in life.
