Giving myself a fresh start this Monday

This morning I woke up carrying last week with me — a few things left unfinished, a couple of conversations I wish had gone better, and that tired feeling that follows me into a new week. In the past I would have tried to fix everything at once, and I usually ended up feeling worse by lunchtime. Today I am trying something simpler. I am giving myself permission to start small: one thing done well, one kind word to myself, and the rest can wait. A fresh start does not have to mean a perfect week. It can just mean not carrying yesterday's weight quite so heavily. How do you give yourself a fresh start when a new week begins? I would love to hear what works for you.
