Take a long warm long bath, scrub your body, go in with a bar soap and follow up with a moisturizing body wash like just take your sweet time in the bathroom. Then immediately oil your body. I personally love oiling my body at night you should try it too. Do your night time skincare routine, Journal, Read a book or watch your favorite Netflix show or favorite youtuber.

The best time to plan out your day is the day before. Write down your top 3 priorities for the following day. This keeps your brain prepared for what is expected of you. Review your day and look at areas you need to improve.

Intentionally putting your phone away before sleeping improves your sleep quality. The time you would use to scroll on tiktok use it on praying, reading your word or other spiritual practices. Switch off your phone because tiktok gets too funny when it is time to sleep and you don’t want to ruin your sleep schedule.

Sleeping early enables you to get your full hours of sleep. You wake up with refreshed energy and ready to conquer your goals
