Evening Essential Oils

Unwind after Work with Essential Oils

Posted by Alexa Hoffman on

Setting up time to unwind and decompress after work is an important part of a healthy evening routine. Especially with so many of us working from home these days from our kitchen table or living room, it is important to create a clear transition for the body and mind so that relaxation can begin, setting yourself up for a night of deep, nourishing rest.

First things first, start a clear end time for work (whenever possible!), leave your worries and to-do list "at work" and change your clothes. This will begin to set the transition.

Evening time should be spent indulging in self-care, catching up with friends or family and detoxing from a day of technology. Try to eat an early, light dinner and avoid scrolling or watching too much TV. It is best to aim for a consistent bed time around 10PM so that you are ready to wake up early and begin a new day with vitality.

In addition to using essential oils, try an evening guided meditation or short yin yoga flow. Keep movements calm and slow to allow the nervous system to relax after your day. You can also take a walk in nature followed by gentle stretching.
