Downshift with Intention
Sleep starts long before the lights go out. A brief, consistent ritual helps the mind let go of unfinished tasks and signals the body to relax.
- Clear the mental desk: Write one sentence about what went well and one thing to revisit tomorrow.
- Soften the room: Lower lighting and reduce blue light at least 45 minutes before bed.
- Anchor the body: A warm shower or slow stretch helps ease residual tension.
Reflection Prompt
"What felt steady today, and what would feel supportive tomorrow?" Answer in two or three lines, then close the journal.
