Sundays are supposed to be the day of rest. When I was working in retail, there really was no difference between a Sunday or a Thursday. Now that I’m working for a school district and I actually have weekends off, I am so grateful that I get to stay in my pajamas all day and watch the previous nights SNL episode. I’ve created some Sunday rituals to help me get through this lockdown and feel productive.
- French Press Coffee
French Press Coffee tastes the best in my opinion, but it takes such a long time to clean up. Sunday is the only day that I make no plans, so I have ample time to clean afterwards.
2. Watch SNL
I watch reruns and different segments of Saturday night live on YouTube every single night. It is the only show I can watch on repeat without getting bored. So every time there’s a new episode, I immediately watch it the next morning on the Peacock app.
3. Cleaning
I spend Sunday usually cleaning up after a long week of ignoring responsibilities. This is the day were a change sheets, make my bed for the first time, and vacuum my floors. Some people find this to be a chore but I find it to be so relaxing at the endpoint.
4. Laundry
At this point in my week, I have run out of clean sweatpants and giant sweatshirts. Typically, Sunday is the day.
5. Exercise//Stretching
Let’s be honest, I work out every single day. But on Sundays I like to just finish out my week strong. I either go for a run or I put on a YouTube guided yoga video to help me stay focused and continue forward. There is just too much time in the week where I wished I had stretched more.
6. Lighting a candle // Aromatherapy
I always air out my room and light a candle, usually from EmeraldHearthCreations.com. I personally love Siren of the Sea.
7. Writing
I almost always write a blog post or short story on Sundays. Something about the slower vibe makes me more creative and vibing.
8. Online Shopping/Browsing
2021 will be the year of no spending, but I have two weeks left in 2020 to spend on my growing graphic tee collection. But really, I usually just browse and fill my cart with things
I don’t need/can’t afford and then close all tabs.
9. Rewatch Jenna Marbles Videos
Let’s face it, she is a queen of bizzare DIY projects and light hearted comedy. I’ve been watching her since I was in high school and I have been in love with her ever since. I don’t understand how people can go years without knowing that she makes video content, especially with her 10+ years on youtube.
10. Paint/Draw/Take Photos
After moving back into my parents house, I have now accumulated some furniture from craigslist and it has been so important to me to repaint all of it. If I’m not repainting furniture, then I am doodling, or I am pretending that I know how to read. Sometimes I even get dolled up and take photos of myself.
That’s my list of Sunday rituals. Comment below if you have different rituals that get you in the Sunday vibe!
