My Night-Time Routine for Restful Sleep & Quiet Confidence

✨ 1. The Digital Goodbye

I try to say goodnight to my phone at least 30 minutes before bed. That means no mindless scrolling, no late-night emails. Instead, I pop it on airplane mode and let my mind start to settle.

It’s not always easy—I’m human, too! But even five minutes without screens makes such a difference.

What felt good today? What can I let go of? What do I want to carry forward into tomorrow? I

4. My Bedtime Sanctuary

I make sure my bedroom feels like a retreat—cozy blankets, soft lighting, and a little calming mist on my pillow. My favourite as it actually works in terms of relaxing my mind and body is Tisserand Aromatherapy sleep better pillow mist spray- the room doesn’t have to be perfect, but it has to feel like mine.

💫 5. A Little Kindness for Tomorrow

Before I close my eyes, I set a small intention for the next day. Something simple, like:

“I’ll give myself grace.”

“I’ll move through the day with curiosity.”

“I’ll remember that I am enough.”

This tiny act of self-kindness helps me drift off feeling grounded and hopeful.
