Yesterday we kicked off with gratitude as the mindset foundation. Today, Kayleen shows how to cement that mindset with an evening routine so your brain (and life) stop running on chance. You’ll learn why a set bedtime regulates brain chemistry, how tiny nightly steps compound into big change, and how the Unbreakable Planner locks in consistency. The goal: design nights that set you up for success tomorrow—on your terms.

Key Takeaways

  • A great tomorrow starts tonight: evenings are the keystone, mornings are the follow-through.

  • Set, consistent bedtime → stabilizes sleep/wake chemicals and improves processing capacity.

  • Include one relaxation/recovery tool at night (breathing, journaling, grounding, etc.).

  • The Unbreakable Planner (filled out at night) boosts clarity, momentum, and follow-through.

  • Progress > perfection. Miss a day? Give yourself grace and get back on track.

    Do This Tonight (Action Steps)

    1. Choose a set lights-out time and protect it (weekends too).

    2. Add one wind-down tool (5–10 min).

    3. Fill out the Unbreakable Planner:

      • 3 gratitudes

      • Tomorrow’s to-do list

      • 3 things that would make tomorrow great

      • End-of-day review: 3 wins + 1 small improvement

      • Optional: set a 7:30 PM “wind-down” alarm to start closing loops.

        Memorable Lines

        • “What’s easy to do is easy not to do.”

        • “Your life happens in the little moments—each one is a decision point.”

        • “Set your brain up for success, and it will do the work.”
