“ Every small positive change we make in ourselves repays us in confidence in the future.”
– ALICE WALKER
Developing an evening practice can empower you to intentionally close the day with self-compassion and self-love, helping you feel more confident and inspired in the morning.
As with all the self-nurturing practices I share, I invite you to explore and experiment to see what nurtures you and create a practice that is compassionate, loving, and sustainable.
Remember that the intention you bring to the activities is what makes them nurturing, so bring a spirit of love for yourself when you engage in the following activities. When cultivating an evening practice, start with one or two practices and then you can add more as you notice the positive ripples in your life.
Self-Nurturing Evening Practices:
1. Lovingly care for your body.
Begin your evening practice by treating yourself and your body with love and kindness. Repeat affirmations or empowering mantras like“ I love my body” and / or“ I am grateful for my remarkable body and all it does for me,” when washing your face, brushing your teeth, putting on lotion, and preparing for bed. Showing your body love and sending empowering kind messages to yourself will help you befriend your body and help you relax and reset before bed.
