An unhurried evening sequence

You might like to read through this gentle sequence and keep the parts that feel comfortable for your own evening.

  1. Tidy one small space

    Spend a few calm minutes tidying a single surface, letting the small act signal a slower part of the evening.

  2. Warm up gently

    A warm drink without caffeine, or a warm bath, can be a pleasant and unhurried part of an evening routine.

  3. Soften the light

    Dim brighter lights and choose a soft, warm glow to help your surroundings feel calm and restful.

  4. A few slow breaths

    Once you are settled, take a few slow, gentle breaths and let each out-breath be a little longer than the last.
