Your Anti-Anxiety Bedtime Ritual: 8 Soothing Ideas to Help You Get More Sleep
Anxiety has a sneaky way of showing up when we least want it—like right before bed. You’re lying there, trying to relax, but your mind won’t stop racing.
“Did I send that email?"
"Why did I say that awkward thing during lunch?"
"What if tomorrow doesn’t go as planned?”
Suddenly, it feels like sleep is miles away.
If this sounds familiar, I get it. Anxiety is relentless, especially when the world quiets down and we’re left with our thoughts.
But here’s some good news: a bedtime ritual designed to calm your mind and body can make a world of difference…
Adult Coloring Books: 3 Excellent Reasons to Start Coloring Like a Kid Again
In a world dominated by screens and digital demands, so many of us are left feeling disconnected and overwhelmed.
Enter adult coloring books - a surprisingly simple yet powerful way to hit pause on the chaos and reconnect with yourself.
Just like writing by hand, coloring activates different parts of your brain, offering a break from the constant black-and-white of everyday work and inviting you into a world of mindful color and creativity.
Picking up crayons or markers isn’t just about creating art; it’s about creating space for your mind to breathe…
One Positive Action
Take a Power Break
Sometimes, you’re just screaming for a break, but you’re stuck in that cycle of pushing through. You’re not a machine, and breaks aren’t weakness, they’re maintenance. So stand up, shake out whatever tension you’re holding, and give yourself five minutes to reset. Stretch your arms, roll your shoulders, or take a quick walk to nowhere in particular. Your body will thank you, and so will your brain.
Here’s the thing about power breaks: they’re deceptively small but wildly effective. Stepping away, even for just a few minutes, clears out the mental cobwebs. You’re not abandoning the task; you’re giving it space to breathe while you recharge. Plus, if you’re working on a hard problem, you can often come to a solution when you’re distracted and not thinking about it, so no need to feel guilty about “not working.”
These breaks aren’t about perfection or performance. You don’t have to find the “ideal stretch” or reach some Zen level of calm. Just move in a way that feels good. Maybe that’s pacing around the room, maybe it’s stretching your arms like you’re reaching for a bag of cookies on the top shelf. Whatever works.
And when you come back to whatever you were doing? You’ll likely notice a shift, however small. Your focus sharpens, and the task doesn’t feel quite as daunting. It’s proof that a little reset can go a long way.
You’ve got five minutes. Use them.
