This week has me thinking about routines and rituals and both what mine are and if they are serving me.
My evening routine isn't so much a routine but a slide into bed. I wake up at 6:23 every morning and I'm busy from the moment I open my eyes thus by evening I am pooped.
In reality my current situation is home work with boys after driving to and from after school activities and while making dinner. Then it's eating and cleaning up, checking email one last time. After I tuck the kids in, I do my nightly beauty stuff, set my alarm, make sure I have a big glass of water on the nightstand and climb into bed. Sometimes with my phone or a book. It's my reality being a wife and mom of 2 teenage boys.
Does it serve me? Not particularly but in a few short years the boys will be gone and evenings will look much different. I'd love to have a regular evening movement practice perhaps with some mindfulness mixed in. It's good to have a plan right?
What does your evening wind-down look like?
