hello, my loves!
welcome back to lavendaire
today i'm doing a sunday reset routine
showing you how i reset and plan for a new week
by the way, if you're new here
make sure to subscribe
and click that bell for more videos
on personal growth and lifestyle design
it's really important for me to start every day
by making my bed
i feel like it's such a simple, quick task
that makes you feel a little more put together
and really sets the tone for the rest of your day
next, gotta hydrate
i've been using this gallon bottle
every day for a few months now
and although it gets kind of heavy
i love not having to refill my water
throughout the day
i aim to drink about one gallon per day
toki is so cute in the mornings
i wish i could get it on camera
but he usually wakes me up
by laying next to me in my arms in bed
it's so precious he really is my little teddy bear
next. i'm hopping in the shower
and washing my hair
i only wash my hair about three times a week
this is a major event
physically cleansing is a way to reset
my body and refresh my energy
for the start of the week
did you know your shower produces
negative ions which are known
to boost your mood and energy
you typically find negative ions
in nature by a waterfall
the ocean
mountains, etc
just know that the act of falling water
is good for you in more ways than you think
after showering, i'm styling my bangs
using some leave-in conditioner
and blow drying my hair
this is an example of the extra time
that i would put into self-care
on my reset days
all this just to make sure that my hair looks good
it's ready when i wake up the next day
next, i'm meditating for about 15 minutes
this helps me clear my mind
reset my mental slate and focus
on my intentions for myself
if i don't take the time to meditate
on my intentions
i get caught up in the busyness of my days
today, i'm focusing on the affirmations
i love myself
i trust myself
i am safe
i have plenty of guided meditations
and an affirmations audio
that i will link down below
if you want more help getting started
i'm having this cup of lemon tea
that i got from the japanese market
it is so good and refreshing
and at this point wilson and i just sit down
to have our lunch together
and now it's time to review my calendar
and plan the week ahead
i'm excited to use my new weekly reset planner
which we just launched on our shop
i'll link it in the card and down below
but it's a new planner
i created with both
monthly and weekly layouts
here, i'm just reviewing my calendar
and making note of the events
i have planned this week
this planner is completely undated
you can start using it anytime
and you don't have to feel guilty
about skipping a week or two
and wasting pages in your planner
it also comes with this adorable sticker set
i love our new stickers
they really spruce up the visuals
and make things more fun
and when you're done
you can conveniently keep them
in the pockets in the back of the planner
next, i'm reviewing and organizing
my to-do's on notion
before i show you how i organize it
i want to thank amd for sponsoring today's video
this is the amd ryzen powered hp envy x360
that i've had for the past year
although you guys might typically
see me using a mac
i actually use both mac and pc at home
i know not everyone is interested in macs
i want to share about the other options
that are out there
if you're looking for a new laptop
this pc powered by amd
is an amazing choice
with this ultra fast processor
this laptop can handle my multitasking
and heavy workload
i'm always working
with multiple programs open at once
the graphics are also amazing on this laptop
you can edit photos and videos
and stream your favorite shows in up to 4k
and hdr visuals are so important
to me as a creator
and the amd radeon graphics
do not disappoint
one of my favorite things about this laptop
is its convertible design
you can flip the screen and use it in tablet mode
which is really convenient for me
it's lightweight and portable
while still being a really powerful machine
another huge win is the amazing battery life
with 16 hours of battery life this laptop
can power you through a full day
without needing to be charged
whether i'm creating a mood board
planning a shot list or script writing
i'm able to focus on my work
without worrying about any issues with my tech
if you want to learn more about pcs
powered by amd
you can click the link in the description below
alright, this focus page is my to-do's page on notion
i organize it with two columns at the top for today
and tomorrow's three most important tasks
below is the kanban style board
where i organize my to-do's in different categories
the next column is for
the next things i have to do
and then i have a column for work
and personal to-do's space is
a place where i can brain dump ideas notes
or to-do's before organizing them
and below that is a calendar of the same board
which is honestly pretty empty
since i don't use it as much
next, i'm filling out this upcoming week
in my weekly planner
writing some goals for the week
self-care and what i want to get done tomorrow
starting with the three most important tasks
and then other to do's and reminders
i love the new habit tracker in our weekly planner
i feel like it'll be easier to track habits
on a weekly basis
especially since it's right there
on the same layout that will be open
on my desk all week
just to show you what else is in this planner
on the next page,
after the weekly to-do's is
a weekly reflection layout
this is a space to reset and reflect with prompts
how did i feel this week
a gratitude list and a weekly wins
the space on the bottom
will have a new journal prompt each week
and over here, you can rate how you're doing
in different areas of your life
reflect on your lessons learned
and then there's some extra space
for planning and ideas
after planning, i'm setting a timer
to clean for 10 minutes
wilson and i have been kind of messy lately
and it can feel like such a chore to clean
this 10 minute hack helps motivate you to clean
because 10 minutes isn't too long
it's a doable time frame
you just set the timer and you can stop
when your 10 minutes is up
usually once you get started though
you become more motivated
you may even keep cleaning
after the 10 minutes is up
seriously try it and let me know
how it works for you
later in the evening, i'm setting up to do
some stretching and healing exercises
i made a couple videos on healing your energy
where i share my journey
learning this new practice
and even a video on
how to do some simple exercises
this is a belly button healing wand
i'm using this to do some belly button healing
which stimulates your digestive organs
and promotes blood flow and movement in that area
i know this looks weird
if you've never seen this before
but don't knock it until you try it
there's a whole book
and youtube channel about this
next, i'm moving up to my solar plexus
and pressing on the area
that feels most sensitive
deep breathing throughout your solar plexus
is the area about two inches below your ribs
just think about between your ribs
and your belly button
there's like a sensitive spot there
and that is where you hold a lot of emotions
the more sensitive and painful this area feels
the more tension you're holding there
breathing through and even making sounds
during this exercise can really
help you release the energy
that's within similar to using the wand
you can also use your fist to tap these areas
i'm tapping my solar plexus
and just exploring the spots
that feel the most sensitive
this is something that everyone can do at home
i recommend you try tapping
while deep breathing
you can tap below your belly button
and then tap your solar plexus
and then try tapping your chest
which is your heart chakra
and in general you can move towards
wherever you feel like you need it
ask yourself what areas hold
the most tension in your body
try tapping on those areas
to relieve the tension there
i'm continuing with some chest tapping
and then with my fingers tapping
on my neck and jaw muscles
since i notice i hold a lot of tension
in my jaw due to stress and anxiety
then i'm tapping the back of my neck
and working my way up to the top of my head
after that i'm stretching my spine
doing some seated cats and cows
since i spend most of my day sitting
i really need to stretch and decompress my spine
there are certain motions that i gravitate towards
because i feel like my body
needs it and craves it
everyone is different though
try listening to your body when you're stretching
and follow what it feels like doing
who cares if it isn't a standard or official stretch
your body is meant to move in creative ways
why limit yourself?
next, i'm doing some rolling back exercises
massaging the entirety of my spine
i've grown to love this exercise
since it's fun and feels good for your back
i also love doing the plow pose
because that feels so good
on my upper back and shoulders
i typically stretch in a way that with each breath
i sink deeper and deeper into the stretch
you're actively relaxing deeper and deeper
finally, i'm doing some side body stretches
and also sinking deeper and deeper
with each breath so you inhale
and when you exhale that's when
you sink deeper
and then i'm just doing some
arm stretches to finish it off
togi has been playing with his toys the whole time
and now it's time to relax
and just hang out with him
although my reset routine changes
every now and then
it always incorporates these major themes
cleansing, resetting my mind,
planning my week ahead, cleaning or tidying,
and then self-care and nurturing my well-being
i'm curious
