In our busy lives, it’s SO important to nurture our energy. Many of us struggle, by the end of the curent day, to feel refreshed for the day ahead. To recall your energy and improve your well-being, consider establishing a simple bedtime routine.
Recall Your Energy to Promote Restful Sleep
Set a Consistent Sleep Schedule
Aim to go to bed and wake up at (or near) the same time each day. This helps your body establish a natural rhythm. Aim for 6-9 hours of sleep, each night, to recharge effectively.
Create a Comfortable Sleep Environment
Make your bedroom a comfortable space. It is your sleep sanctuary. Keep it cool, dark and quiet. Use blackout curtains to block light and a fan or white noise machine to reduce noise. Soft pillows and a cozy blanket can enhance your comfort. Using calming fragrances, essential oils or incense can also help.
Unplug and Wind Down
Disconnect from devices at least an hour before bed. The blue light from screens can disrupt your sleep. Instead, engage in calming activities like reading, journaling or enjoying some herbal tea to help you relax.
Recall Your Energy with a Relaxing Routine
Signal to your body that it’s time to wind down. Activities like gentle yoga or mindful meditation can help you let go of the day’s stress. This relaxation makes it easier to recall your energy. Using the same technique every night will be a signal, to your body, that it’s time to slow down and prepare to recall your energy.
Mindful Evening Meals
Watch what you eat and drink in the evening. Avoid heavy meals, caffeine and nicotine, these can interfere with sleep. If you’re hungry, opt for light snacks like fruit or nuts. Make sure you’re hydrated. Sometimes we think we’re hungry but it’s our body requesting water.
Practice Gratitude
Before bed, take a moment to reflect on the positive moments of your day. Consider keeping a gratitude journal by your bedside to jot down what you’re thankful for. This practice helps clear your mind and invites you to recall your energy, peacefully.
Stay Hydrated, but Balanced
Drink enough water throughout the day, to avoid overhydrating right before bed. This will help to prevent disruptions during the night. Find a balance that keeps you hydrated while allowing for uninterrupted sleep.
A Mindful Mantra
As you settle into bed, recite this calming mantra to help you recall your energy and release any energy that doesn’t belong to you:
“I recall my energy back to my self, releasing energy that isn’t mine, returning it to the universe with grace. I rest in my true self, embracing peace and restful renewal.”
Repeat this mantra as you breathe deeply, allowing calmness to wash over you. This practice helps you recall your energy and creates a peaceful space for sleep.
Recall Your Energy to Reset and Recharge
By following these simple steps, you can enhance your bedtime routine and effectively recall your energy. Consistent sleep, a comfortable environment and calming activities will help you restore your well-being.
Start tonight and invite the restful sleep you deserve.
