Everyone has an evening routine—whether you developed it consciously or not. But many evening routines don't prepare your mind and body for sleep.
Why?
Well, the evening routines created consciously feel more like a to-do list that adds stress and pressure to you right before bed. Whereas evening routines that weren't created consciously usually involve watching TV or scrolling social media—which can both make it more difficult to actually fall asleep.
The best evening routines help you feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally. And that means they're simple, fit into your already busy schedule, and give your body a chance to calm down and go to bed relaxed (instead of shifting positions constantly for an hour while you try and battle an anxious body and mind when you shut off the light and go to sleep).
In this episode, we'll cover:
- What an evening routine is & how to create an easy evening routine that helps you drift into sleep and wake up feeling refreshed
- Why spending even 10 seconds doing a relaxing task like saying goodnight to your animals can dramatically improve your sleep
- How evening routines that are complicated to-do lists in disguise sabotages your sleep
- The #1 goal of your evening routine
- My personal evening routine that I still follow (even though I have a newborn baby in the house)
