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.

These blog posts are written a little differently, more informative in nature, and I may not always highlight them in this newsletter or on social media. It's just another way of creating content that will help answer the questions women in midlife are asking. That's all for this week, my friend. Stay safe, be well, pray for peace.

Hello Reader, I used to think looking put-together meant more — more pieces, more planning, more time I didn't actually have. Turns out it's the opposite. This week I'm sharing my actual go-to formula: the anchor piece I build every outfit around, my simple rule for color, why fit beats trend every time, and the one small finishing touch that pulls it all together without adding more effort to your morning. Spoiler: it's not about having more. It's about having the right few things, and...
Hello Reader, I noticed something on a Wednesday morning that I haven't been able to stop thinking about since. I was out on the lanai, coffee in hand, and instead of already running through my list for the day, I just sat there. Watched the birds. Let ten minutes pass without once checking the clock. Old me would have called that wasted time. But it didn't feel wasted. It felt like relief. That small moment turned into this week's post, which is really about something I think a lot of us are...
Hi Reader, I have something a little different to share with you today. If you've been reading Inspire My Style for a while, you know this space has never really been about me. It's about you, your style, your wellness, your home, your mindset, all the small and large ways we keep moving forward together. I've kept it that way on purpose. But every so often, life hands you a moment too big to keep tucked away behind the usual topics. Recently, I signed the papers on my Michigan home. Sold....
