If you enjoy what you do, its much easier to keep on doing it!

Creating a routine where you are clear on your boundaries around work, being on your phone and spending time doing something hat helps you to switch off from the day. Turning off bright artificial lights, not watching the news or horror films that are stimulating before bed using a diffuser and essential oils and making sure your bedroom is dark, not too hot and tidy along with an evening journalling routine are all things that will help you have a great nights sleep and wake up feeling restored and ready to face the day in the morning.
