DON’T WORRY,<br />

BE HAPPY<br />

At the end of a long day, make<br />

time to do these simple activities<br />

before hitting the sack. They’ll<br />

make any bad day better.<br />

Write down what you’re<br />

grateful for Get a notebook<br />

and, at the end of each day, jot<br />

down three things you’re thankful<br />

for. Even when it has been a bad<br />

day, you will start to appreciate<br />

the little things in life you never<br />

really noticed.<br />

Meditate Calm your mind to<br />

have a good night’s rest. There are<br />

several free apps available that<br />

have step-by-step guides to help<br />

you meditate. This can help to clear<br />

your mind so it will prevent your<br />

thoughts from running wild just<br />

before bedtime.<br />

Treat yourself Always leave<br />

some “me time” at the end of the<br />

day. Enjoy a facial mask or soak in<br />

the bathtub to let yourself rest and<br />

recuperate after a long day.<br />

Ditch your phone an hour<br />

before sleeping Yes, this is<br />

definitely hard, but just think of it as<br />

sleeping one hour earlier. Turn off<br />

your phone and give yourself peace<br />

of mind with zero notifications<br />

before bed.<br />

Read Immerse yourself in a lighthearted<br />

novel. Reading brings you<br />

to another world, and you’ll be too<br />

busy reading to think about the<br />

pressing issues you have at hand.<br />

Listen to your favourite<br />

music Create your own playlist<br />

with all your feel good music.<br />

Whenever you’re feeling down,<br />

whip out your earphones and listen<br />

to this playlist.<br />
