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 />
