You all know I love a mindful morning routine, but in this season of life, cozy evening rituals have been everything for me āœØšŸ’•

If you’re looking for quick and simple ways to add a little more hygge into your evenings, these are some of my personal favorites to: 

Restore your Body
✨just a few minutes of intentional movement or nourishing self care can help your body relax, unwind and prepare for a good night’s sleep 

Clear your Mind
✨ stop the scroll and opt for more positive ways to reduce the mental clutter. Taking a few minutes to reflect and reset your thoughts can help you fall asleep with a clear mind 

Soothe your Soul
✨the quiet moments of the evening provide the perfect opportunity to choose activities that make you happy. Whether it’s reading a book, trying a new cozy hobby or even as simple as stepping outside to look at the moon & stars… choose to end your day with warmth and ease 

If you’d like to receive my free printable Autumn Reflections guided journal, just comment JOURNAL and I’ll send it straight to your inbox. It’s the perfect thing to add to your cozy evening (or morning) routine 🧔

šŸWearing comfy, cute loungewear
