Hey Habit Thriver!


Wow, what a month we have had here on the Habit Thrive Podcast!


All of October, we’ve been diving into one of the most foundational pieces of wellness: SLEEP.


In today’s episode, we shift from mindset to ritual — because restful sleep doesn’t start when your head hits the pillow.


It starts long before that, in the moments after dinner, when your body begins the journey from doing, to digesting, to deep downshifting.


Today, we’re exploring a gentle, 5-step evening ritual to help unwind and prepare for deep rest:

  1. After Dinner Transition – Shift from doing to digesting
  2. Digital & Mental Dimming – Power down screens and soften your space
  3. The Release Ritual – Let go of the day with journaling or mantras
  4. Prepare the Nest – Create a cool, cozy sleep environment
  5. Lights Out by 9:30 – Catch your natural melatonin wave

We also look at common beliefs that block evening rituals small, realistic shifts that make a big impact, and why honoring rest is not indulgent — it’s essential.


So, spend the week exploring these pre-bed rituals. 


Listen to your body: It already knows how to rest!


Sweet dreams. 💤
