Remember, each person’s routine is personal and customizable, don’t create a routine that wasn’t meant for you. Here are some examples of what you could incorporate into your daily evening regimen to bring more tranquility into your life.

Relaxation techniques are also a great way to help with stress management and health problems such as heart disease and pain. Some benefits of relaxing are lowering blood pressure, improving concentration and mood, and increasing blood flow to major muscles. Try and include the following techniques along with your evening ritual.

I love the suggestion to turn off the blue light! Many of us are on our phones or computers late into the evening. Read a book. Great idea! There was a reason our parents read to us before bedtime. It is relaxing, takes concentration and will help switch off all the days events that we tend to think about before bed. I do often visualize a beautiful place or a happy memory as I’m falling asleep, another good idea.
