5 Steps to Plan Your Own Work & Wellness Reset (Even If You’re Short on Time!)
Running a business while balancing motherhood? It’s exhausting. Between client calls, deadlines, and the endless demands of home life, it can feel impossible to get focused, uninterrupted work time. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to work harder—you need a reset.
A Work & Wellness Reset is a strategic getaway designed to give you the clarity, productivity, and energy you need to thrive as a mompreneur. The best part? You don’t need to wait for the perfect time—you can plan your own reset and make it happen.
Here’s exactly how to DIY your own Work & Wellness Reset in just a few simple steps. ⬇️
Step 1: Choose the Right Location
Your reset should take you out of your daily routine so you can fully focus. The best locations for a Work & Wellness Reset are:
✔ A local hotel or boutique stay with a quiet, work-friendly environment.
✔ A cozy Airbnb with a designated workspace and minimal distractions.
✔ A wellness retreat or spa hotel that blends productivity with relaxation.
📌 Pro Tip: Look for a place with fast Wi-Fi, a comfortable work setup, and amenities like room service or a spa.
Step 2: Set Your Intentions & Goals
Your reset isn’t just about getting away—it’s about working smarter and recharging. Before you go, ask yourself:
What do I want to accomplish? (ex: Content batching, business planning, or financial strategy)
How do I want to feel when I return? (ex: Clear-headed, motivated, refreshed)
Write down 3-5 key goals for your reset so you stay focused and intentional.
📌 Pro Tip: Avoid vague goals like "catching up on work." Instead, aim for focused, high-impact tasks like "outline my next launch strategy" or "write 4 weeks of content."
Step 3: Structure Your Time for Maximum Impact
To make the most of your reset, create a simple schedule that balances deep work sessions and self-care. Here’s an example:
🕘 Morning: Intentional planning & strategy work
🕑 Afternoon: Focused work session (ex: content batching, emails, goal mapping)
🛁 Evening: Relaxation (spa treatment, journaling, reading, or just enjoying quiet time!)
📌 Pro Tip: Set clear time blocks and remove distractions (turn off notifications & set an out-of-office reply). This is your time to focus.
Step 4: Pack Smart for Productivity & Self-Care
Bringing the right essentials will set you up for success. Pack:
✔ Business must-haves: Laptop, planner, noise-canceling headphones, and chargers.
✔ Wellness must-haves: Comfy clothes, favorite tea or coffee, essential oils, and a journal.
✔ Bonus: A book that inspires you (business, mindset, or just a good novel!).
✔ Snacks: Keep your energy up with easy-to-pack snacks like protein bars, nuts, dark chocolate, or your favorite treats—so you can stay focused without needing to leave your room.
📌 Pro Tip: Treat yourself like the CEO you are—bring what makes you feel comfortable, productive, and recharged.
Step 5: Book It & Commit to Going!
The hardest part? Actually making it happen. It’s easy to say, "I’ll do it later"—but later never comes unless you schedule it now.
✅ Pick a date in the next 30 days or plan it as your own quarterly check-in. If you were running a big company, you’d have quarterly strategy meetings—why not do the same for yourself?
✅ Book your stay & any spa treatments. I treat this as a 'work hard, get rewarded' experience. After putting in focused effort on my business, I book myself a well-deserved spa treatment at the end of the weekend as a way to recharge before heading home.
✅ Let your family/team know you’ll be unavailable.
📌 Pro Tip: If mom guilt creeps in, remind yourself: A better-rested, more focused YOU is better for everyone—including your family & your business. Since you took time away to work ON your business, when you get home, you can be fully present with your family—no more feeling pulled in two directions.
