Sounds like you need a reset

@tala honestly I think i might, but how do you reset?

@styleboy honest answer? It's a personal thing so what works for me might not work for you. Discovering that could also be a part of that reset so you're not finding yourself asking but implementing next time.

@styleboy to answer the question though- it all depends. Though I have a baseline. A bath is always necessary. Dim lighting or candles - no audio. A nap lol Cooking a meal I enjoy. Cleaning (science backed) journaling, setting a new routine / personal schedule (I actually have a bedtime) etc. Things that honor and cater to your needs and what you may need most in the moment. But the bath is always a solid first step. I normally clean first then bathe so I can take in all that clean energy and reboot

Pillow mist is meant to be really helpful

A bedtime routine really helps me. I like to believe that the taste/smell tricks the brain into getting itself ready for sleep lol. I try to have a herbal tea (something with chamomile and/or lavender) like 40 mins before bed every day to wind down. I get mine from the supermarket, any tea labeled as sleep tea should do πŸ’›

I’ve been severely limiting my internet presence and made a point to try to avoid advertising as much as possible
