Stress Less Tips to Start Your Week off Right

For a lot of people Sundays can stir up some stressful and anxious feelings about the upcoming week.  I know I used to dread them because it meant the start of a new week and the start of things I found very stressful- like commuting, traffic, work deadlines and big projects.  As Sunday drew out, I used to become more and more aggitated and soon my entire Sunday was wasted on my constant anxiety about the week ahead.
To nix this problem, and find some enjoyment out of my weekend, I started some Sunday night rituals that helped me keep the peace and relax.  So regardless of whatever Monday held, I actually was able to look forward to the close of another weekend because I created things to look forward to and keep me present.
If you find yourself stressin' away your Sunday because you dread the week, here's some things you can do to stay grounded, connected and in the moment on Sundays:

-sunday night yoga class
-warm bath infused with lavender essential oils
-10 minute mini meditation, envision how your week will go MANIFEST IT!
-journaling
-catch a movie with some friends
-brew some chamomile tea
-light incense
-if you enjoy making food, bake something delicious to have monday night or prep some healthy meals to grab and go for the week
-spend some time unwinding with a book in bed before you actually go to sleep
-5 minutes EFT
-take some time to set goals for the week- mini-goals to practice stress relieving techniques, meditation or how many yoga classes you'll hit up this week

Here's to the start of a brand new week!  How will you make it amazing?

    I'm a formerly anxious chick that found my zen on the mat. I used yoga, pranayama and yogic philosophies to alleviate my debilitating anxiety and get my life back on track. Now, I spend my time teaching yoga, coaching others and helping people find a more peaceful path in life.
