Sunday holds two energies. The restfulness of the weekend lingers. The activity of the week approaches. Both deserve attention. Neither should dominate completely.
In the morning, rest. Let the weekend extend a bit longer. Slow coffee. Unhurried reading. Whatever rituals bring you peace. This is not laziness. It is honoring your need for restoration.
In the afternoon or evening, prepare. Gentle preparation, not anxious planning. Review the week ahead. Gather what you need. Set yourself up for a smooth Monday. This is not work. It is self-care.
The balance between rest and preparation is personal. Find yours. Some need more rest, some more preparation. Neither is wrong. What matters is honoring both needs.
How will you balance rest and preparation today?
