The holiday season will soon be over, and the pace of life is starting to settle—but for many of us, the whirlwind of celebrations, travel and gatherings can leave us feeling a little drained. At Maryville Retreat Center, we believe that every Monday is an opportunity to pause, reset and reconnect with what truly matters.
Slow Down and Breathe
Take a moment to let go of last month’s rush. A few deep breaths, a short walk outside or even a mindful sip of morning coffee can help you reset your mind and body. Mondays aren’t just the start of the week—they’re a chance to refresh your spirit.
Reconnect with Your Inner Self
Consider using a Monday to reflect on the new year ahead. Journaling, prayer or quiet contemplation in a peaceful space can help you set intentions, release stress and reconnect with your deepest priorities. At Maryville, our serene surroundings make it easy to find a moment of calm, even amid daily responsibilities.
Small Steps, Big Impact
You don’t need a major life overhaul to feel renewed. Simple acts—like organizing your workspace, planning your week thoughtfully or taking a 10-minute mindfulness break—can set a positive tone for the days ahead.
Join Us for Mondays at Maryville
Whether it’s a guided meditation, a creative prayer session or a retreat day, Maryville offers ways to refresh your spirit, nourish your mind and strengthen your connection with God and community. Start your week with intention and grace, and let Mondays become a day you look forward to.
