The article emphasizes the importance of intentionally scheduling specific 'themed days' each month to combat stress and enhance self-care. Inspired by a viral video from creator @itsyngnotying, it suggests five days: a reset day for chores, a no-screen day to disconnect, an explorer day for new experiences, a reflection day for introspection, and a wellness day devoted to self-care. Elizabeth McCoy, a high-performance therapist, explains that such scheduling helps train the mind and body to prioritize rest and mindfulness, ultimately transforming overwhelmed routines into focused, fulfilling lifestyles.
Scheduling these five days into each month will give your nervous system room to exhale. Rest isn't just something you deserve, it's something you have to train your body and mind to expect.
One moment it's the 1st, then you blink and it's the 30th, and you feel stressed, overwhelmed, and disorganized.
You should schedule a reset day, no-screen day, explorer day, reflection day, and wellness day each month to practice mindfulness and self-care.
People loved the idea of these themed days, with one suggesting a guilt-free relaxation day too, to emphasize the importance of resting.
