The Small Habit That Finally Slowed My Evenings Down
|
Hello Reader, I want to tell you about something small I've been doing before bed that's made a bigger difference than I expected. For a long time, my evenings didn't slow down just because my days got quieter. If anything, I filled that open space with more- more projects, more ideas, more "just one more thing" before I finally turned off the lights. Sound familiar? Whether your evenings are full of a spouse's routine, grown kids who still find reasons to call after dinner, or a project you can't quite put down (I see you, fellow doers), most of us were never really taught how to close out a day well. We got good at keeping things running for everyone else. Somewhere along the way, giving ourselves an actual ending got lost. So I built one. Nothing fancy, no elaborate ritual, just a short, honest bridge between working too late and actually resting. I'm sharing what that looks like in this post, along with a simple list you can borrow from if your own evenings could use a little more ease. If you've been running on empty by the time your head hits the pillow, this one's for you. If taking care of yourself still seems to be on the back burner more often than not, here are some other ways to make sure that your body, mind, and spirit are healthy and in sync: 5-Minute Self Care Ideas When You Need to De-Stress Meaningful Weekly Self Care for Women Embracing Life After 70 6 Types of Self Care That Actually Support You 10 Quick Self Care Ideas for a Calmer September 7 Self Care Rituals Every Woman over 60 Deserves NOTE: for those of you who subscribe to Inspire My Style via an RSS feed (that means you get a notification each time a blog post is published) you may notice some increased activity in new posts published.

Hello Reader, Most mornings, my body speaks up before I do. A stiff knee, a shoulder with opinions, a small reminder that I’m 71 and counting. For a long time I treated those mornings as something to manage. Lately I’ve treated them as something to answer, with a quiet promise that I am worthy, I am loved, and this naturally aging body is exactly what it’s supposed to be. This week’s post is about aging gracefully, but not the serene, composed version we were all handed. It’s about what grace...
Hi Reader, There's a moment every fall when the air finally turns crisp, and the first thing I want is a sweater. The soft, familiar kind that feels like a hug from an old friend. This year, that cozy feeling led me somewhere I didn't expect to go: skirts. I'll be honest. Skirts have never really been my thing. I've been loyal to my pants for most of my life, the way some of us are loyal to our hairdresser. But the more I looked at skirt and sweater outfits this season, the more I understood...
Hi Reader, I used to think healthy aging meant adding more to my plate. More rules, more routines, more things to remember before I'd even had my coffee. It took me a while to realize the habits that actually stuck were the quiet ones, the ones I barely had to think about anymore. This week's post walks through the handful that have earned a permanent place in my life, from how I move my body to the one habit nobody ever puts on these lists. If you've been easing into October self-care the...
