Are you following a right bedtime routine?
Bedtime routine is very important to switch off our mind from the daily grind. When we follow a ritual, our mind finds it easy to unwind and fall into a meditative flow of sleep. We feel energised from inside after waking up next morning.
Unwinding helps in relaxing our mind and activating our parasympathetic nervous system.
5 holistic bedtime tips to Unwind, Relax and Embrace the Night
1. Clean Up Smart – Just like waking up ritual, cleanse your face with a natural cleanser. Brushing your teeth and washing your face washes the stress away at the end of the day. Taking a warm bath is a ultimate relaxation technique and elevates your selfcare journey during bedtime and ensures a good sleep.
2.Say No to Screentime – Switch off your devices and stay away from screens 2 hours before bedtime. Screens stimulate not only your eyes but also your mind. It acts as a barrier to good sleep. Make sure you switch off the notifications and keep your phones out of your bedroom during bedtime. Find a low stimulus activity like reading a book to calm your mind
3.Gratitude Prayer – Gratitude journaling helps you cultivate positive and invites more reasons to be thankful for. Practice gratitude prayer by writing 5 blessings that you encountered that day. Journaling helps achieve clarity and articulating your unsettling thoughts. Saying thanks at the end of the day prepares your subconscious to look for positives. Light an essential oil-based incense, sit in your comfort corner in your comfortable position, inhale and exhale few minutes and write a gratitude prayer
4.Essential Oils to the Rescue – Boost your sleep routine by natural means. All the three oils aid in relaxing your mind, ease you into a state of calm, reduces the feelings of depression and anxiety, enhances your sleep routine and promotes a positive mental health.
