Stay in bed. Poetry for those lazy Sunday afternoons

Happy Sunday to my poets out there!

This is a poem that makes me envision those lazy Sunday afternoons after a nice cat nap. Sometimes it’s just nice to stay in bed and not having the constant pressure of obligations and ever pressing time weighing on you.

Sundays are notorious for being the perfect days for those ‘hard resets’. Some things that help with resetting are:

  • Cleaning – Take a few hours to cleanse your space. Wipe down all the surfaces, catch up on laundry and dishes, sweep and mop, deep clean the tub, vacuum, light some candles, switch out the air fresheners, then change a few photos around the house.
  • Doing something I LOVE – Whether it be eating donuts for brunch, writing poetry, indulging in a lavish bath, or going for a stroll to that part of town that you adore, make time for one activity that you normally don’t have time to do during the week.
  • Meal Prepping – Essential for people who feel like they don’t have enough time during the week! Throw on some TV or your favorite playlist on Spotify and get crackin’!
  • Dancing- Usually Sundays are a rest day, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun while getting up and moving around! I like to pull up Youtube and dance along to my favorite music videos like I’m 15 years old again.
  • Stretching – If you find yourself tight and tense during the week, a quick stretch sesh can help you get you up and moving on Monday.
  • Organizing – This can be your email inbox, a space in your house, your photos on your phone, your car, give something that’s a little chaotic a spruce up.
  • Reaching Out – Call that friend you’ve been meaning to contact all week. Shoot a message to your family. Bonus points if you can whip out a letter or two that you can send in the snail mail. Stay connected. Keep your relationships strong.
  • Sleeping – My personal favorite! A nice nap or simply sleeping in an extra hour or two can help you catch up on the rest you may have been lacking all week.
