Episode 3520: If mornings feel impossible, Erica Layne suggests flipping the script. What if your bedtime routine could be just as powerful? Instead of forcing a morning ritual that doesn’t stick, use the quiet moments before sleep to reflect, reset, and set intentions for the next day. Whether you’re a night owl or simply in a season of life where mornings aren’t realistic, embracing a mindful evening routine could be the key to better rest and a more fulfilling life. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ericalayne.co/failing-at-your-morning-routine/ Quotes to ponder: "It was more frustrating to HOPE for time to myself and then be disappointed than to just…keep sleeping and get up when they did." "If mornings aren’t working, maybe nights can." "You’re not broken, you’re just you." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
