Restful Sunday

When I need a restful Sunday to decompress and recharge, I do this:
- Wake up naturally, without alarm. Usually it’s 6am. Feels great to not wake in stress.
- Get all my daily tasks done before the family wakes. Write my daily post, push my daily code and marketing commit.
- Hang out with wife and kid. Prep them for going to in-laws’.
- Lunch on my own. Usually iSteaks with their 300g grass-fed ribeye with steakhouse char. I feel I come alive whenever I taste that pure beef.
- Head home with coffee, nap, shower.
- AC on in my work room, blinds shuttered, switch on Mei time on Youtube.
- Chill by watching meditative and calm travel vlogs of Japan for the next few hours.
- Family comes home, lights off to sleep.
A calm, mindful, restful Sunday.
I’m really getting deep joy from this now. When I know the coming Sunday is this one, I look forward to it all week. The anticipation is just as enjoyable as the doing.
I must do this more.
