Your bedroom is your most personal space. Decorate it with elements that you like, the colors you love. It should feel like a retreat, not a cluttered corner. Invest in soft lighting, lavender or rose-scented candles, silk pillowcases, and cotton sheets. Keep your space clean, cozy, and calm. You're not just going to bed, you're returning to yourself.

2. Slow Down Before You Lie Down

Similarly, sleeping under the new moon or full moon can affect how you feel, track it. Build your rest rituals accordingly.

I trust tomorrow will bloom from this peace." These micro-practices restore more than your skin, they restore your spirit.
