I used to be a boxed-wine drinking, reality TV show-binging, feel really sorry for myself milso in the days/nights my husband was gone. I'd go to bed way too late every night and wake up feeling sad + exhausted the next day ready to repeat the bad habits. If you're in this cycle, I TOTALLY GET IT. But, you don't to stay in it if it's not serving you! Here are three really simple things I do every single night my husband is gone to make my next day a little easier: ✨ I toss the day's laundry into the washing machine and use the delay start feature so I have a load of laundry washed and ready to be transferred when I wake up. I transfer it to the dryer first thing in the AM, and bring it with my upstairs when the kids do their shower/bath to fold. ✨ I treat myself to a calming, nurturing drink, because I always have more anxious energy going to bed when I'm alone. This ritual helps trigger my brain that it's time to wind down and sets me up for a more restful night of sleep so I'm ready to hit the ground running in the AM! ✨ I start the dishwasher, no matter how many or how few dishes we have from the day, it gets started before I head upstairs for the night. After I toss those clothes in the dryer in the AM, I empty this and then we're starting the day with full cupboards and a clean sink! What are some of your hacks to make solo days easier?
