Sunday Spotlight Recap

It’s the final Sunday of 2025, and I’m using it to compile all of my “Sunday Spotlights” from the year. The intention behind these posts was to reframe Sundays; rather than getting caught in the Sunday Scaries, focus on how we take on the week with our values guiding us.

I tried to post a question each Sunday to guide some intention setting and reflection for the upcoming week. The questions were meant to serve as an opportunity to reground ourselves and be intentional in the coming days. I’ve brought them together in a list, so if any feel particularly anchoring, you can pocket them for the year ahead.

• What’s one thing you want to focus on this week that aligns with your values?

• What small act can you take to live in your values on Monday?

• Is there a challenge you’re facing this week? How can your values guide you through it?
