When the day is busy, the evening is often the only time that's actually yours. A wind-down routine doesn't have to be elaborate. It just needs to be consistent enough that your brain starts to recognize it as the signal that the day is over.
A simple five-step evening wind-down
- Set a cutoff. Pick a time when work email and news feeds are done for the night.
- Dim the lights. Lamps instead of overhead lights. A candle if you like one.
- Run a warm bath. Dissolve 1 to 2 cups of Comfort Salt magnesium flakes while the tub fills. They dissolve fast and leave the water feeling smooth.
- Soak for 20 minutes. Bring a book, put on music, or just sit. No phone.
- Wrap up the same way every time. Comfy clothes, a glass of water, lights low. Repetition is what makes it a ritual.
No tub? Try a foot soak
Half a cup of flakes in a basin of warm water works almost anywhere: on the couch, at the end of a workday, after a long run.
