I like to come home from work and eat dinner at like 5:30 go on a little walk Then I like to turn off all the harsh lighting and try not to listen to any sort of music higher than a certain BPM. And then I take a nice long shower and put my pjs on and either journal or read or play guitar. Usually end up falling asleep with the book in my hand so I have one of those little book nightlights that you clip onto the book itself so I don’t have to get up too much to turn off the lights. I don’t really go on my phone or check my messages as soon as I get out of the shower unless it’s to change the music I’m listening to (Ichiko Aoba or some soft jazz has been my favs recently). But whatever works for you! I find that winding down hours before sleep has always helped me so i don’t feel rushed in any way.

I work late so usually im going to bed as soon as i get home but I def don't want to go to bed with the vibe if the work evening still with me.
Ive made a habit of getting a quick shower in to wash off the stress and in a clean pair of pajamas. I set up my evening YouTube video or a movie ive seen before-low stakes in terms of attention, its for background noise. Make some tea or make sure i at least have a glass of water and a small snack if i haven't eaten yet. Then I mosy my way to bed putting my dog to bed in his bed and take my cat upstairs to bed with me and get comfortable and kinda hope the sleep takes over in a timely manner.

Take a shower first. Before you eat dinner or do homework or whatever you do at the end of the day. Now do whatever it is you need while your hair dryers in fresh comfy clothes. Brush your teeth and lay in bed on ur phone for a bit or watching a show or reading a book. If you’re feeling crazy, fall asleep before midnight.

On weekdays I finish work at 6:00 pm because I set my schedule to start at 10:00 am. Then I walk my dog Benny and try to squeeze in yoga for 20-40 minutes if I can manage to not be lazy. I usually eat dinner between 8:00 and 9:00 pm and then I play scent games with Benny if he’s being crazy and still has too much energy and I watch YouTube videos. I make sure the windows and doors are locked and turn off any lights, then I water floss, brush my teeth, take a hot bath, languish, wash and moisturize my face, turn on my heated blanket and get into bed by like… midnight or 1:00 pm usually. The weekends are pretty much the same without the working part

The internet is making my brain rot!!!
Lately, I've been very mindful of my purchases and how I can minimize my consumptions as an individual.
I like my wired headphones. I like the running shoes I've had for years. And I love my 2004 Honda CRV. Learning to be happy with the things I have.
