We talk a lot about morning routines, but what about our evenings? The hours before bed might be even more important for our overall well-being, yet they're often when we're most on autopilot.
Here's what I've learned about creating an evening routine that actually works: it doesn't need to be Instagram-perfect. You don't need a candlelit bath, a skincare regimen with twelve steps, or an hour of meditation. You just need a few small signals that tell your body and mind it's time to transition from doing to resting.
Start with something as simple as changing your clothes. Even if you work from home, putting on pajamas creates a mental boundary between day and night. It's a physical reminder that the workday is over, that you're allowed to stop being productive now.
