How I Start Fresh Every Month: My Personal Reset Routine
A reset routine is the perfect way to start a new month or begin each week. If you have My Dream Life Blueprint Workbook, you can follow the prompts to create your own reset routine, but I wanted to give you an inside look into what mine looks like.
First, I set my phone to airplane mode so I wouldn’t be distracted. Then, I grabbed my workbook to map out my routine. I decided how long I wanted to work on my routine and used a timer to keep me on track. I started by writing down my thoughts and the activities I wanted to do that I knew would fill my cup the most. From there, I mapped out the month ahead in my planner, as well as the week and day ahead. It was a great way to set up my goals, outline what I wanted to achieve, and get everything out of my brain and onto paper. It felt really good to be able to do that and focus on my goals!
After I got everything on paper, it was time to get changed into my workout clothes. I tidied up my closet a little bit because that was on my list, then I went downstairs to do some yoga. Sometimes I’ll turn on a space heater and a humidifier during my yoga sessions to create a detox effect. Another thing I’ve been doing is putting on some ankle weights to kick it up a notch. This, paired with the space heater and humidifier… oh my gosh, you really feel it! I usually just find a quick yoga class on YouTube that’s 20-30 minutes long, and it feels super good!
Once I finished my yoga session, I went back upstairs and decided to make a green juice. My go-to recipe is one celery stalk, two apples (cored), four oranges (peeled), two cucumbers, some pineapple spears, and a little bit of ginger root. That amount usually makes enough for two servings, so I made a glass for Andre as well.
I brought my juice upstairs with me to dye my hair. I thought this was perfect for a reset routine, especially at the beginning of the month! I love putting oil in my nebulizer and my towel warmer, then heating up the towels before getting into the tub. I also put on an eye mask and decided to tidy up the bathroom a little bit while I waited for my hair to process. When my hair was finished, I took a bath and did a hair mask. It was a whole vibe!
After my bath, I made my way back downstairs and put on a fresh set of press-on nails. The trick for longevity with press-ons is filing down your nails and using a nail dehydrator before putting them on. I also love using glue that has a brush tip; that way, you can control where the glue is going. I’ve found these glues last longer than the ones that come with the actual nails. I can get about two weeks out of a set!
Next, I did my skincare routine. I love doing a facial massage using a gua sha tool, then I go in with serum and cream. I decided to invest in good skincare because I was using a lot of different brands. Once I stayed consistent with one quality brand, I felt like it made a big difference! I also love using a lip mask. It’s probably my favorite product ever! Once my hair was dry, I put in some hair growth serum and did an easy makeup routine. I applied tinted moisturizer, liquid blush, a little eyeliner, and some mascara.
To make things cozy and set those spa reset vibes, I love playing Disney spa music from Disneyland Paris. It’s so good! I set up on the floor with my music and Carl, and read my book for a little while.
Part of my goals and reset routine is to spend more time outside. I grabbed my earbuds, put on a podcast, and went outside for a little walk. After my walk, I headed back upstairs to tidy up the bedroom, which was also on my list. If you’re having a really bad day, just make your bed. That’s something that can completely turn your day around!
I decided to turn on a few nebulizers around the house with my favorite eucalyptus spa scent. It just elevates the whole house! Not only do they humidify the space, but the eucalyptus smells amazing. Then, I grabbed a cute cuppie to make a drink, chilled in the living room, and checked off the remainder of tasks on my list in my workbook.
I loved going through my reset routine with you! Taking the time to focus on self-care and set intentions really helps me feel centered and ready to tackle whatever comes my way. Whether it's a new month, a fresh week, or just a challenging day, having a routine that grounds me makes all the difference. I hope this glimpse into my reset routine inspires you to create your own. Remember, it's all about finding what makes you feel good and supports your goals. So, grab your planner, put on some calming music, and carve out some time for yourself - you deserve it!
