A planned rest evening

Set aside one evening with no goals and notice what rest feels like.

  • Waning moon
  • 30 min

Next suitable date

Checking the sky…

What you need

  • A blanket
  • A warm drink
  • Something to read or listen to

Steps

  1. 1

    Pick an evening this week and put it in your calendar as rest.

  2. 2

    Finish your last must-do task by a set time.

  3. 3

    Dim the lights and put your phone out of reach.

  4. 4

    Make a warm drink and settle somewhere comfortable.

  5. 5

    Read, listen to music or simply sit, with no goal.

  6. 6

    Before bed, write one line about what the evening was like.

If rest feels impossible for weeks at a time, or low mood lingers, it is worth talking to a doctor or counselor.
