Night Time Rituals
Just because you're trash doesn't mean you can't do great things. It's called garbage CAN not garbage cannot.
Welcome to my blog! Today's post is a new thing on my blog. I'll be sharing my night time rituals with you all. Night time rituals are activities that we do every night. Lately, I included some healthy and relaxing activities in my "before bed" list. I am not consistent with some of them but I try my best to go for them every night since there's nothing bad in calming your soul and resting your mind before heading back to work the next day. Comment below and tell me what are your bed time rituals?
Let's dive in!
#1. I have started doing dishes lately. This is not a healthy activity tho but it is the most calming thing to my mind. It's just me and water (and ofc dishes and soap). I am a water baby and water tasks have been my fav always. I actually wrote a diary entry when I did dishes for the first time and I was a kid back then😂
I am always alone while doing the dishes, so it gives me some time to take a break and spend some time in peace.

#2. I never compromise with my skin care routine and this takes us to my second ritual. If I am really busy I cut it to two steps: face wash and moisturizer. I have my skin care routine on my blog: it's really simple and affordable! However, I have changed it a lil bit. I'll be posting the updated one soon!😉

#3. The third ritual is brushing my teeth. I try to brush my teeth every night 'coz fresh mouth=fresh soul. Since I recently got my braces off, I actually do a gel treatment kind of thing to calm my swollen gums. I try to be regular with it or else my gums go crazzy!

#4. Lately, I installed "the meaning of life experiment" app from play store and I listen to it at night, or sometimes in the day time. Somehow I can't do it everyday but whenever i am low, I know what I need to do. It is calming and it actually makes a difference in your personality. I got to know about this app through YouTube and thought to give it a try and I am really proud of me that I did. Meditation calms your mind and makes you a better person. There are a lot of problems in life; a lot of things that need to be fixed, and your mind need to be ready to take it all if you wanna bring the change.

#5. This is the last ritual that I do before heading to sleep. We all know about the goodness of yoga: that it calms mind and soul and makes you healthy. In this chaotic life of the college, ik I am gonna lose my mind and panic like hell and have anxiety attacks. So before going to bed, I do some relaxing yoga poses that I found on Pinterest. I just got started and I hope it will destroy my depression and anxiety. However, I am not regular with it; but I'll try to be.

College is an important phase to win the keys to the life you dreamed of. And I don't want my mental health to be an issue in my way. So most of my rituals include activities to calm myself 'coz "if you'll be calm, you'll be the bomb". So go ahead and form the world you always dreamed to live in. Have a great life! Also, share with me some of your night time rituals. I'd love to know!

I don't have a certain night time rituals since I already am a mom but mostly I am in front of my computer for work. Yoga is good practice because it can calm your mind and body as well. Maybe you could also include reading books?
ReplyDeleteI don't exactly have a "ritual" more like a health care regimen lol. I don't sleep well so I drink magnesium before. Its not great tasting so I read a book to distract myself (its best to avoid a flickering screen that close to bed).
ReplyDeleteI think one should never compromise on health and skin care routines before going to sleep. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like a lot to do. I usually eat, read and sleep and yes brush my teeth(not because I like it because my dentist is really scary and i would rather brush my teeth than visit him).
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you! Doing the dishes is one of the most relaxing things ever, your mind just clear all during that small period of time which is great! Also love to listen positive messages before bed time, X
ReplyDeleteI can use a nighttime routine in my life. Thank you for the recommendations. Dishes are a great idea. I have a girlfriend that cleans her kitchen every night, even mopping the floor.
ReplyDeleteI love to read about other peoples rituals. I have no night time ritual which is foolish really as I have insomnia and I know having a ritual may really help that.
ReplyDeleteinteresting, I need to listen to this app - meaning of life, seems really good one to give you the peace of day before sleeping. Great rituals.
ReplyDeleteI like your second share. I usually take care of my skin before going to sleep, that way you save time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good night ritual, taking care of ourselves is not just important but also beneficial. I almost had those activities on my list too, one more I can include is reading before I sleep.
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out that meaning of life experiment app. It does sound so very interesting. And brushing your teeth at night is so very important.
ReplyDeleteI love practising yoga before bed and when I wake up, totally relaxes my mind and body.
ReplyDeleteI think its good to have night time routine, especially brushing teeth and unwinding before going to sleep.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any certain night rituals but anything that is calming you is always a good idea! But I brush my teeth before going to bed!
ReplyDeleteI like how you called these daily basics a night time ritual! Interesting -- I love reading before going to bed.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a nighttime ritual as my life is so chaotic but I like the sound of the 'meaning of life experiment' app. I don't meditate but a few of my friends do and they swear by it. I must be better with my nighttime skin care routine. I actually don't have one.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is really important not to skip cleaning the face before going to bed. I always plan to have night time rituals but then I realise that i haven't had my supper yet and then it all falls apart and i just can't keep that schedule I wanted.
ReplyDeleteThese are great night time rituals, some I do myself. I always take off my make up and cleanse my face before going to bed.
ReplyDeleteI have thought about doing a more concrete ritual around bedtime and really need to get into it and so I appreciate this!
ReplyDeleteOMG i thought I would never find someone who loves doing dishes as much as i do haha! My night time routine is pretty much gone to the drain after having a kid but I do love a proper skin routine at night!
ReplyDeleteLeave some post suggestions, maybe?
