There are some days when we feel lethargic in the morning itself, We feel like going back to sleep and it initiates the feeling of emotional imbalance in the mindset of a productive person.
We feel highly energetic when our sleep is deep and relaxed, this certainly makes us realize that our nighttime routine is as important as the morning routine, In order to have deep and relaxed sleep one needs to follow a routine that signals our brain that it’s time to get relaxed.
We get benefits from an activity or routine only if we follow it for a long period of time with consistency and discipline. Consistency and Discipline are two important factors that will make this routine an absolute success. Ending your day on a high note is a sense of fulfillment. So here’s an ideal and easy way to end your day
