Resting and resetting are not always the same. Do you “rest” and still feel exhausted the next day even though all you did was clean, run errands, and watch movies?
Consider if you are INTENTIONALLY resting - doing things that allow your mind to unplug from technology and release the tension in your body. Once you rest, you can properly and fully reset.
Rest:
Read a fiction book
Walk outside while listening to music, a lighthearted podcast, fiction book, or nothing
Journal
Sleep without the TV on
Stretch - include a foam roller, yoga block, tennis ball, etc.
Hot shower, cold shower
Drink lots of water + include electrolytes
Make your meals at home or order from healthy places
Spend time unplugged from technology
Reset:
Get rid of clothes you don't LOVE and I mean love as in you would actively choose to spend money on it again right now.
Sell or give them away within 24 hrs.
Declutter your home
Get rid of the decor, mugs, books, etc. that you would not actively choose to spend money on it again right now.
Sell or give them away within 24 hrs.
Clean your spaces
Deep clean - like move furniture and get on your hands and knees to get into all the little crevasses that collect unseen dust.
Fully clean out your refrigerator, pantry and freezer. Get rid of anything that is empty, old or won't be used.
Clean your towels, sheets, etc. and/or get new ones.
Walk outside while listening to a non-fiction podcast or book
Go to a yoga class
Practice a guided meditation
Go do errands - fill your kitchen, get new flowers, bring the bags of clothes to Goodwill, etc.
