Step 4: Reflect, Don’t Ruminate

If your mind tends to replay every awkward moment of the day, try this: name three things that went well. They can be tiny — you finished a task, ate something delicious, or texted a friend. Gratitude is the quickest way to shift your mental state from restless to relaxed.

Step 5: Make It Yours

The best night routines aren’t copied from influencers; they’re built around what genuinely soothes you. Maybe it’s skincare, maybe it’s stretching, maybe it’s just sitting in silence. Whatever it looks like, end the day on your own terms — slowly, softly, and without pressure.
