As I was preparing for the week ahead, I realized that there is really something to be said for a good ritual. I am definitely a creature of habit, but I think if you are trying to change any habits, then routine is necessary!! For example, I LOVE giving my apartment a good scrub down before the week starts. It helps me start fresh, and there is nothing better than going to sleep in a fresh bed! On Saturday I went to town scrubbing floors, bathrooms, washing the sheets and towels, and even my makeup brushes. It made my Sunday so much easier (and much more enjoyable), since I could just relax before starting a new week.

A few other rituals that can start your week on the right foot….

• a little meal prepping
• a long bath/shower
• decompressing with a good book
• meditation
• a sweaty workout
• a fresh mani/pedi
• deep cleaning your home!
• tidying your work space
• hanging up your clothes (SO guilty of letting this get out of hand during the week…)
• meal planning

If I had all the time in the world I’d do them all, but hey….just choosing one or two will help you start the week on a productive note!!

Enjoy your week!
