- Aim to switch off all screens (phones, tablets, TVs) at least one hour before bed.
- Use this time to create a calming atmosphere in your space.
Why It Matters:
Detaching from the digital world reduces distractions and allows your mind to unwind.
Step 2: Create Your Chill Zone
Turn Your Space into a Sanctuary
- Dim the lights and light some candles.
- Add soothing scents with essential oils or incense.
Zara says: “Your space should reflect your inner peace; create a sanctuary that inspires confidence.”
