Spend a few minutes each evening and set yourself up for a great nights sleep, and kickstart your morning! The return on the time investment can be huge. The value of an evening routine is hugely under-rated. Both your mental and physical health with thank you! Here are some great examples of things you can implement into your evening routine.

Choose what is right for you to take care of yourself! When you get into bed you’ll be set for a great night sleep, and are set up for a productive kick-ass day ahead. You will be grateful you spent the 20 min.
Real-Talk: I know this is easier said than done. It is easy for me to advocate for creating and keeping a routine while I sit at my keyboard with my “Life-Coach” hat on, but when you add in the real business of life it can be difficult. I get it, it is for me too. If you can shoot for keeping your routine 3 days a week – once mastered, go for 5 days a week. You’re a rock-star at 6 days a week!
