Context: I picture this day to be a Sunday. Off of work. Off of the gym. This will be treated like there is a full day dedicated to mind, body, and spirit recovery. From sunrise to Sunset.
Today will be very light on food overall. breakfast and dinner are the only 2 meals of the day. overall, a great break for the gut/mind as we can focus efforts/energy on activities other than digestion.
8AM-ISH: Wake up: Foam roll for 10 minutes followed by 10 minutes of massage gun work.
20 minute mediation with eyes closed and wrapped up in blanket, followed by Gratitude Journal/reflection journaling.
Do some mobility work. (Youtube yoga + stretching)
5 minute cold shower.
Go for a 45 minute walk outside in the sun. no sunglasses. Clothing should allow as much skin showing as possible
About 11:30-12PM: Get some actual food down the chute, but making sure that meal comes after a 16 hour fast from dinner the night before.
Take a nap after this meal
After the nap, plan to go for a hike. 1.5-2 length. spend time on this hike to pause and take breaks of stillness and observing nature around you. doing some drawling. bring a coloring book. bring a journal.
overall paying almost zero attention to the phone the entire day is the goal.
About 4PM by this time
Come back home and sit by the water. Saying a prayer. One of gratitude along with one of asking for God’s help in our lives. Speaking openly about our challenges. Things I struggle with. Pain points. Our next goal will to be to write letters of gratitude to people that are close in our lives. Writing them on paper and planning to mail them physically to them on a different day. Plan this experience so that when I finish, I am experiencing watching the sunset for the full length as we sit by the water. Sit after sunset for a bit and talk openly about thoughts and anything lingering on the mental.
Should be about 6:30PM by this time. dinner time
After dinner activities are going to be a bit more loose and not necessarily having in depth purpose behind them. I can pick a comedy movie that will allow us to engage in laughter.
After this movie, it’s about 9PM. To activate serious relaxation, I will take a 20 minute bath/shower. Sit down in the shower. Let hot water pour down. Focus on deep breathing. Afterward, I will use the massage gun for 10ish minutes and do some long holding stretches afterward
Should be close to 10PM by this time.
Another prayer session. open and out loud. focused on gratitude and thankfulness of having the opportunity to spend a day to self love/reflect and do some great things for ourselves.
10:30PM ISH: Bedtime
