I always read because it\u2019s just nice and the rule is at least 3 pages&#x2F;day. It may not seem much but on difficult days it makes a big difference to have a goal<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Salvador J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For winding down I like to have a cup of lavender or chamomile tea and read a book. To entertain myself I usually turn on some music and dance<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hailey Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Meditation is something I enjoy. Even listening to Abraham Hicks motivational talks. Sometimes we need to be reminded that we are all universal love and part of a tapestry. The best quote that calms me down is I know where I\u2019m supposed to be, and I need to breathe. That mantra and deep breaths wind me down.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Diego E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Reading a book or colouring is a good place to start,  I would say. Something, that will help you gain a one track mind without a screen, is preferable. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Danny Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Listening to ambient music, do some basic stretches and then relax with the music focusing on your breathing.

Turning off lights, making herbal tea, getting my clothes ready for tomorrow, getting a bottle of water for beside my bed.  It helps me to use up some time before bed and reassure myself that I have everything ready for the next day so I dint need to worry as I fall asleep.  I enjoy reading simple books or things like poetry because I don&#39;t get too involved in them, so I&#39;m less likely to want &quot;just one more chapter&quot; .<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Almerindo P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Im currently moving, so I have been spending time making my house my own a little bit at a time in the evenings. I also journal. So I journal quickly how my day was in my calendar, but then I also journal for a longer time all the random thoughts and prayers I have. If I&#39;m still not tired, I read a book. I&#39;m currently reading through the Chronicles of Narnia.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yvonne F. I use Spotify, there are loads of relaxing playlists.
