Sunday is my favorite day of the week. And it hasn’t always been that way. The ‘Sunday scaries’ used to get the best of me more times than I can count.

It wasn’t until I began taking Sundays as an intentional day to rest, reflect and learn that I started to thoroughly enjoy them.

I began viewing them as a day to plan and enjoy as opposed to a day to stress about all the things I hadn’t done the previous week. I hope this post inspires you to reclaim Sundays as your day rather than a day that you dread.

Without further ado, here’s a list of my non-negotiables every Sunday to prepare for a great start to the week.

So what are we to do? Well, mindfulness is a great place to start.

In this post, you’ll learn some of the basics of mindfulness and a few steps you can take right now to be a more present, happy version of yourself while you’re on the clock.

The word mindfulness gets tossed around a lot, and it can be confusing to figure out...

Feeling weighed down by your to-do list lately? 

You’re not alone.

If you’re any kind of entrepreneur or small business owner, you know the struggle of the “never-ending to-do list”. Seriously, my to-do list never ends. When I check off one thing, five more items pop up. It can be frustrating, overwhelming, and disheartening at times. 

And it can also be freeing — because if you know your to-do list is always going to be there, it gives you all the more reason to put your to-do list to the side more often and enjoy life.

So, first things first, how do we manage all of the tasks we have to get done in a day, week, month, or year to make time for more of the things we actually want to be doing?
