5 Self Care Evening Routine Ideas
Run yourself a beautiful bath
I love having a bath on the day of the new moon because it’s a beautiful way of washing away the old and welcoming in the new. But baths are great any time — especially in the evening before going to sleep. Pour in some CBD bath bombs and essential oils, light some candles, scatter some flower petals, put on some relaxing music, and lie back and enjoy.
Sit out under the moon & stars.
Just sitting outside under the night sky and drinking in the stars and the moonlight can be such a beautiful experience. You might want to light a candle, bring a journal, or just lie back and get lost in wonder. Take a few breaths. Think about what you’re grateful for today.
Invest in some silky-soft bed sheets
We spend most of our nights sleeping in our bed, but so many of us don’t invest in making our bed feel as luxurious or comfy as we deserve. Mattresses are pricey, so if you need a new one, save up until you can invest in a great one. But until then, investing in some new silky-soft bed sheets will be a wonderful gift to yourself. I love these bamboo sheets because they are the softest material ever and feel so good against my skin!
Do some yin yoga
Yin yoga is a therapeutic type of yoga that focuses on the connective tissues in the body instead of the muscles. It helps you release any stress or tension you’re holding onto, physically and emotionally. Yin means the feminine, so this practice is also a great way of embracing your inner feminine. There are plenty of classes you can find online, or you can head to a local studio. I love to light some candles and wear something comfy while I practice yin.
Listen to a sleep story.
I’ve mentioned Calm a lot already as a meditation app, but my favorite part of Calm is the sleep stories. They range between 15 and 40 minutes and a mix of fiction and non-fiction stories. They’ve been designed specifically to help you drift off to sleep — so you’re not supposed to know how any of the stories end because you’re meant to be asleep by then! And for me, it always works. It helps me relax, drift off, and get to sleep — even when I’m feeling energetic or restless.
