When quiet brings thoughts forward

Ease evening anxiety before bedtime

In the evening, distractions fade and worries can suddenly feel more present. Tiredness also makes perspective harder to access. The intensity may feel alarming without meaning that immediate danger is present.

Evening anxiety

Find steady cues as the day slows down

01

Rather than analysing every worry in bed, return to concrete information: the room, physical support points and the natural rhythm of breathing.

02
