Creative Rituals For Resetting Your Week
Share
Refresh your mind, tap into creativity, and make Sunday your self-care sanctuary.
If your weeks feel like a blur, it might be time to rethink how you start them. A Sunday self care routine that incorporates creativity—like journaling, coloring, or quiet reflection—can shift your mindset and help you feel more grounded going into the week.
Instead of “getting your life together” in one exhausting day, imagine Sunday as your reset day. Below are 5 easy creative weekend ideas that blend self-care, play, and art therapy at home—so you feel recharged, not drained.
🎨 1. Ease Into Your Sunday with Art Therapy at Home
You don’t need to be an artist to feel the benefits of creativity. Just 10–15 minutes of artmaking can serve as art therapy at home, helping you regulate stress and process your thoughts.
Whether it’s scribbling, doodling, or coloring in a page—think of this time as a soft reset for your nervous system.
How to try this:
- Light a candle or turn on soft music
- Pick a page from a coloring book
- Let yourself color without overthinking
Tip: Look for coloring books designed for adults with calming, intentional themes to enhance this ritual.
🎨 2. Build a Sunday Self Care Routine with Color-Based Intention
Colors affect how we feel. They influence our energy, our creativity, and even our mood heading into a new week. That’s why a powerful way to upgrade your Sunday self care routine is through color-based intention.
Try this creative weekend idea:
- Choose 3 colors that reflect how you want to feel this week (calm, bold, joyful, etc.)
- Use those colors in a drawing, moodboard, or collage
- Keep the finished page somewhere visible as a visual anchor for the week ahead
This simple practice grounds your energy and activates your imagination.
✍️ 3. Mix Visual Journaling with Weekly Reflection
Blending visual art with words gives your self-care more depth. Think of it as journaling, but more expressive. You can write your thoughts, then overlay with sketches, stickers, or patterns that match the vibe.
Prompt to use this weekend:
“What do I want to release from last week, and what energy do I want to bring into the new one?”
This practice aligns beautifully with art therapy at home and helps process emotions with clarity and creativity.
🃏 4. Use Creative Prompts or Card Games for Inspiration
If you ever feel stuck on what to create, let your tools guide you. Interactive elements like creative prompts or even educational card games can help you start without overthinking.
Try this:
Flip a card from our Journey Across Cultures Matching Game and create something inspired by that culture—a color palette, quote, or sketch. It’s a simple, fun way to explore and reset while engaging your brain.
This small shift can turn your Sunday into a curious, expansive experience.
☕ 5. Create a Ritual You Look Forward To
At the end of the day, the best Sunday self care routine is the one that feels like you. Think beyond bubble baths and try rituals that feel playful, creative, and grounding.
Examples:
- Put on your “Sunday playlist” and color for 20 minutes
- Enjoy a warm drink while sketching or journaling
- Plan your week visually with doodles or washi tape
Let your creativity guide your reset—there’s no wrong way to start again.
