1. Think of what happened during the day

Even if it was a bad day, it’ll help you avoid them next time.

2. Take 3 deep breaths

If it was a tough day, it’ll help you shave it off. If you had a good day instead, it’ll be an awesome moment just for yourself.

3. Read, read, and read some more

You can read novels, poetry, something you wrote the night before. The goal here is to disconnect from the outer world because that gives you more chances to connect with your inner self. Try to avoid reading gossip magazines or tabloids, they don’t bring any good thoughts into your mind.

4. Turn your cell phone off

Actually, what I do know is I leave it 10 feet away from my nightstand. Maybe with the excuse of having the charger far away, you can invent a valid excuse. Leave it far from your arm’s reach. What if there’s an emergency and someone needs you in the middle of the night? Well, I guess that’s the risk you have to take in order to have a better and less stressful life. Statistically, nothing will happen during the night. And if indeed happen, maybe there’s actually nothing you can do about it.

5. Close your eyes and think of the people you care about the most in your life

I actually bring my mental pictures of them. I think a good thought about each of them, and wish them good night.

6. Think about your breakfast

I know, this might sound a bit extreme, more so when you just finished having dinner, but the fewer decisions you have to make in the morning, the better. Even if the decisions are “micro-decisions” still impact you, and they do count. Ideally, you can lay out a “breakfast plan” for the entire month, so you don’t have to think about it, you never run short of supplies, and you get a good healthy most important meal of the day.

7. No email, no news

Ideally, you can avoid it altogether. But if you can’t, set a deadline, a stop time, let’s say no email, news, or technology after 9pm so you can reconnect.

8. Clean up your bedroom

It’s your sanctuary. Try it as such.

9. Relax your eyes

After long days, mostly in front of a screen, whether it’s a computer, laptop, TV, cell phone, I spend most of my days looking at a screen. And many nights my eyes get so tired they hurt. A tip I use: I put both hands like creating a spoon feeling in front of my open eyes. Keep tweaking your hands until you can see no light coming in. That’s simple and very relaxing. I do it for 30 seconds and it works wonders.

10. Wish good nite to all people that you care

It doesn’t mean you’ll have to call them up or text them or email them or FB them. No, just think of them. I just bring mental pictures of friends and family I want to wish them good night, and I think a few words each at a time.
