By the time Thursday rolls around, the week’s chaos often camps out on your face—eyes squinting from screen time, jaw clenching like it’s got secrets, and thoughts doing the cha-cha. But once these tensions melt away, your whole body gets the memo: it’s chill-out o’clock!
Your evening ritual
Find a quiet spot or lie in bed.
Close your eyes and take one slow breath in through the nose, out through the mouth.
Step 1 — Eyes:
- Gently rub your palms together until they’re warm.
- Cup them over your closed eyes and hold for about 20 seconds.
- Darkness plus warmth tells the optic nerve to relax — your brain follows. This helps quiet the mind.
Step 2 — Jaw:
- Let the mouth fall slightly open.
- Massage along the sides of your face — where the jaw hinges near the ears.
- Make small circles for 30 seconds on each side.
- Let the tongue rest softly at the bottom of your mouth.
Step 3 — Finish:
- Breathe out with a sigh. Notice how even your thoughts slow down a little when your face does.
Small things like this make big differences.
Do it before sleep, or anytime the day feels too much.
Simple practices like this are where healing begins — when the body feels safe enough to rest, the heart can finally open, and the mind can soften its grip.
