Rest is vital for improving mental health, increased concentration and memory, a healthier immune system, reduced stress, improved mood and even a better metabolism. If we complete a tough workout, we're happy to take the next day off from exercise in order to recover.

​A reset day can help you feel more grounded and centered, and better able to cope with everyday stresses. It can also help you focus on your long-term health goals. 

Here are some reasons why you might want to take a reset day:

• Feeling overwhelmed: A reset day can help you focus on things you've been putting off or haven't had time to do.
• Recovering from burnout: A reset day can help you stay more grounded and centered.
• Winding down: A reset day can allow your body a chance to wind down after a busy day.
• Focusing on health goals: A reset day can help you focus on your long-term food, nutrition, and overall health goals.

Some tips for a mental reset include: 

• Laughing out loud
• Practicing gratitude
• Hugging a pet
• Making time to meditate
• Going on a nature adventure
• Taking a break

SELF-CARE SUNDAY

Self-care Sunday is the idea of dedicating one day a week to taking care of yourself. The goal is to de-stress and nourish your health and well-being. 

Here are some ideas for self-care Sunday:

• Go to a sensory deprivation tank or float tank
• Take a long, hot bath or shower
• Go for a walk or hike
• Practice yoga or meditation
• Try a new hobby or activity
• Get a massage
• Cook or bake a special meal
• Read a book or watch a movie
• Play video games

Self-care Sunday can be as brief as a 10-minute meditation or morning coffee watching the sunrise, or as involved as taking a whole day to get away and go hiking.

Self-care can look different for everyone, so it's important to explore what works for you. It can be social, mental, physical, or even spiritual activities.
