Sunday often flies by: laundry, groceries, emails to catch up on, and the week starts again before you've really caught your breath. What if you made it a true moment of pause? Here are eight simple rituals to pick from as you like.
In short
- Start the day without an alarm or a screen.
- Get some fresh air, even for twenty minutes.
- Cook a dish that simmers for a long time.
- Gently prepare the week in the evening.
8 rituals for a cosy Sunday
1. Waking up without an alarm
Let daylight wake you. And before looking at your phone, take a few minutes for yourself.
2. An unhurried breakfast
Croissants, toast, fruit, tea or coffee: breakfast in bed or a nicely laid table, and above all no schedule.
3. Comfortable clothes from morning to night
Loose trousers, a big jumper and cosy slippers: Sunday is lived in comfort. A lined slipper like our Merano is part of the ritual.
4. A walk in the fresh air
Even a short walk in the woods, in town or by the water does you good. When you get back, home feels even cosier.
5. A simmering dish
Soup, stew, vegetable curry: a slow-cooked dish fills the house with its scent and feeds the first meals of the week.
6. Time to read
A novel, a magazine, a cookbook: an hour of uninterrupted reading is a simple luxury. Our ideas to create a cosy reading nook.
7. A moment of self-care
A bath, a face mask, a warm foot soak: take care of yourself. Our tips: winter foot care routine.
8. Gently preparing the week
In the late afternoon, fifteen minutes are enough to look at your diary, make a list and lay out Monday's clothes. You start the week more calmly.
Cosy time with the family
With children, a cosy Sunday takes other forms: a cushion fort, pancakes, board games, a Sunday-night film. The main thing is to slow down together.
