Your Sunday Reset Ritual: 8 Journal Prompts to Reflect, Reset, and Realign

Let’s be real, life moves fast. Between work, appointments, errands, that one group chat that never stops buzzing... it’s a lot. And when life starts moving fast, it’s way too easy to lose the plot. 

That’s where weekly check-ins can be a game-changer. Not as another task to check off, but as a small, grounding ritual — a pause to reconnect with yourself and realign with what matters most.

This isn’t about being perfect, productive, or having all the answers. It’s about staying intentional — one week at a time.

Here are some journal prompts to guide your Sunday reset. Before you open up that journal, make it a vibe… light a candle, pour your favourite drink, put on a chill playlist, anything to make it a weekly ritual you enjoy. 

Journal Prompts for the past week

Look back on the past week with curiosity, not criticism. Let this be a space for honesty and grace.

• What felt most in alignment this week?  Think about the moments, habits, people, routines that brought you sense of ease, joy, or flow.

• What felt most out of alignment this week? Think about the moments, habits, people, routines that brought you sense of overwhelm, disconnection or dread.

• What are you ready to embrace more of? 

• What are you ready to leave behind or shift moving forward?

Journal Prompts for the Week Ahead

Look ahead at the week and set some intentions, not in a pressure-filled way, but in a what would feel good kind of way.

• How do you want to feel this week, and how can you invite more of that feeling into your week?

• What deserves your time, energy, and attention this week?

• What habits, rituals, or boundaries will help you stay focused and aligned?

• What’s one small thing you can do this week that’s just for you?

Your check-in doesn’t have to be perfect or profound. Even a few honest sentences can offer clarity and direction for the week ahead. What matters is showing up for yourself.

This is how we build an intentional life — one week, one honest check-in at a time.
