Two weeks ago I talked about 12 ways to start your day, so no better time to talk about how to end it too!
I am currently doing a weight-loss challenge with a group of women I train.. and each week we are focusing on a specific topic. This past week I put a “BIG” emphasises on the importance of ending your day.
I talk about the importance sleep and the wind down to get to sleep plays on our overall health and wellness and it is a key ingredient to weight loss.
The challenge for the women was to shut off all electronics or any technology at least 1/2 hour before going to sleep. The women could wind down with some stretching, journaling, or reading (something that would not stimulate the brain too much). With this they would also have to completely black out the room. That means no lights on phone, no light from dvr’s or cable devises, and blacked out rooms.
It was so great to hear from the women how great they felt overall after completing this challenge. They had more energy, slept through the night, and really looked forward to the relaxing period they had planned before they hit the hay….
Here is another great blog from Mark’s Daily Apple on the 12 Healthy Ways to End the Day.
