We all know the feeling of collapsing on the couch after a long day at work. Our bodies are desperately craving rest, and our minds want nothing more than to unwind and unplug.
If you’re sitting on the sofa, ready to relax, but your mind just won’t switch off—then I highly recommend trying a little journaling session.
Another way to unplug from the day is to experiment with an end-of-the-day ritual. You can go for a walk, take a shower, or even incorporate some ideas (like lighting a candle).
A bonus tip if you really want to disconnect is to say goodnight to your technology every evening. Put your laptop in a case or your phone on charge, and you can even give it a little “tuck, tuck” for the night.
We can look for opportunities to create a rich sensory environment in our homes. - burn candles or diffuse essential oils - use mood lighting - play a favourite playlist or album
These are just a few simple ways I try to create a special atmosphere after work. Of course, with two young kids, it’s not always as serene as I’d like—but there’s still something a bit magical about making an effort.
