A Perfect Nighttime Routine

It started last night.

It was getting late and I was catching up on my emails and social media. I decided I wanted to listen to music on my iPad so I plugged in my Beats headphones, pressed play and got completely lost in the sounds pumping in my ears.

Believe it or not this is the first time in a long time that I've done this. I usually listen to podcasts, NPR, or ESPN while I'm working and watch television when I'm winding down for the day. I decided to switch things up and grabbed my iPad and the first song that came up in the playlist was 'For the Love of You' by the late, great Ms. Whitney Houston. If that isn't the perfect mood setter for winding down the day I don't know what is!

As I started chair dancing to each song that came on, I decided this will now be my nightly routine. It relaxes me, it puts me in a great mood, and frees my mind to write; the power of music is incredible.

What do you do to wind down your day?
