In today's fast-paced world, prioritizing self-care has become essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. As we navigate through the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's crucial to carve out time for relaxation and rejuvenation, especially when it comes to winding down in the evening. Here are three relaxing hacks I've incorporated into my sleep routine that have made all the difference.
- Elevating My Evening Self-Care Routine:
Welcome to the era where self-care reigns supreme, and sleep is cherished above all else. A far cry from where it used to be, that's for sure. I begin my evening self-care ritual by cutting off technology a few hours before bed and drawing a warm bath. Then, I drop in one of our Breath CBD bath bombs.
Available solo or in our CBD Bath Bomb Flight, these bath bombs are infused with a refreshing blend of peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus, and tea tree essential oils, along with the soothing properties of CBD. CBD is known for its ability to interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, helping to regulate various functions, including sleep.
2. Making some delicous Sleepy Time Mocktails:
To amplify the relaxation, I treat myself to a nourishing mocktail and enjoy it while I take a bath. Here's my favorite Sleepy Time Mocktail Recipe:
- Calm Magnesium Powder: 1-2 tablespoons
- Carbonated water
- Ice
- Celtic Sea Salt: pinch to taste
- Trace minerals: a few drops (optional)
- Tart cherry juice (optional)
This concoction helps ease muscle tension and promotes a sense of tranquility, setting the stage for a peaceful slumber. How does this drink help you get sleepy? Magnesium is an essential mineral known for its ability to relax muscles and calm the nervous system. Celtic sea salt not only enhances the flavor of the mocktail but also provides a natural source of electrolytes. Electrolytes play a crucial role in maintaining proper hydration and supporting muscle function. Incorporating electrolytes into the mocktail ensures that the body receives the hydration it needs, especially after a warm bath or during relaxation activities, making it an essential component of my evening self-care ritual.
3. Creating a Serene Sleep Environment & putting my legs up & breathing
As the bath time winds down, I create a peaceful and calming environment to promote restful sleep. Setting the mood with soothing frequency music of 528 Hz and a soothing salt lamp, and start my ritual by purifying my space with my favorite organic sage bundle from @moonlightsmudge to help create a serene atmosphere conducive to sleep.
I find a cozy spot to lay on my back in my bedroom and place my legs against the wall. This gentle inversion soothes tired legs, releases tension in the lower back & promotes relaxation, leaving me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Taking a few deep breaths, I allow myself to fully let go and surrender to the peacefulness of the moment. To let go of any lingering tension from the day. Spending a few moments in quiet reflection, focusing on my breath, and clearing my mind of any stressful thoughts and just being for a few minutes.
Prioritizing Consistency and Routine:
Consistency is key when it comes to improving sleep quality. Establishing a regular sleep schedule, I aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends. Avoiding caffeine and electronic devices 2-3 hrs before bedtime, opting for relaxing & nourishing activities such as reading a book or practicing gentle yoga before bed. Actually giving your body the tools it needs to get the rest it needs and by prioritizing consistency and routine, I can regulate my body's internal clock and promote more restful sleep each night.
By embracing the importance of quality sleep and incorporating CBD into my evening self-care routine has been transformative for my overall health and well-being. By indulging in a slow evening self-care ritual, setting the mood for restful sleep, and prioritizing consistency and routine, I've been able to enhance the quality of my sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated each morning.
So go ahead, embrace your inner wellness girlie, and prioritize your sleep starting today. Your body and mind will thank you for it.
