What if you could transform those dreaded Sunday evenings into a time of calm and preparation? Julie Sanford, the host of 'Married to Addiction,' shares a heartwarming routine called 'The Sunday Reset' in this episode. Designed for wives of alcoholics, this faith-based podcast episode offers a simple yet powerful approach to ease into the week with less anxiety and more peace.
Julie breaks down the reset into three parts: mental, logistical, and emotional, each aimed at reducing the chaos that often comes with unpredictability in homes affected by addiction. The mental reset involves choosing a word for the week, like 'peace' or 'strength,' to anchor your mindset. Julie suggests placing reminders of this word in places you'll frequently see them, like on your phone or bathroom mirror.
For the logistical reset, she advises reviewing your calendar and planning meals to minimise surprises that add stress. The emotional reset focuses on identifying stress points and creating a plan to manage them, such as taking a moment to pray or going for a walk when feeling overwhelmed. Julie also encourages listeners to create a calming ritual around this practice—light a candle, play worship music, or sip on tea while planning your week.
This isn't about adding pressure; it's about giving yourself permission to pause and breathe. By establishing this small rhythm, you can step into the week feeling more equipped and less blindsided. It's a gentle reminder that while life with addiction can feel unpredictable, there are ways to create moments of peace and clarity. So why not give the Sunday Reset a try and see how it transforms your week?
