Here's What These 7 Yogis Do Before Bed Every Night (MindBodyGreen feature)

November 15, 2016 by Blair Fynn

The other week I was asked to put together a short little story as to what I do before bed! It changes daily, but I realistically I try and stick to the same routine every night to get the in habit of calming my mind and body down before I go to bed. Of course there are nights that I am awake until 3 AM working on a project or out until 2 AM and I am totally paying for it the next day! I can't focus, my motivation is at an all time low, my eating schedule is off as in I want to eat everything in site, my stomach/digestion is terrible, my skin looks as if I haven't washed it in days and is totally red, I am so irritable! (sorry!!), and I will have the worst headaches all day! I have the WORST time sleeping in general and usually suffer from insomnia on most nights so making this routine a habit, that I share is a priority to me. It helps me sleep and relaxes both my mind and body. 

Here is the article! Plus, there are some other amazing yogis on here, that I feel so lucky to be next to, that share their routines too! Maybe you can learn a few tips! 

Here's What These 7 Yogis Do Before Bed Every Night

Enjoy!

actually becoming slightly concerned that I’m going to turn a yellow/ orange hue with all the winter vegetables ive been consuming #betaglow 😅🤗 but im v. into this butternut squash soup thing and i don’t even like soup 🍲 but topped with some greens for good measure + cranberries & pistachios...this is what you need to do. Go to my blog... or since laziness prevails here’s the recipe 👇🏼 . . roast up a whole butternut squash at 400 for about 45-50 mins. Cut into cubes. Add to your vitamix w/ any spices. I did turmeric, cinnamon, sea salt, pepper, few pinches of nutmeg, 1/4 cup nutritional yeast & started off with about 2 cups of almond milk or use coconut milk. Blend until super creamy. Add more milk for desired consistency & adjust spices. Heat back up on stove if need. Eat it. Usually top mine with spinach, nuts, or sautéed apples & sometimes I add in collagen 👌🏻

to keep balance and keep life moving forward the way you want it, you have to reset, and put your energy into certain people, things & places. Fix things along that just don’t feel right. Adjust. Life’s always a give and take...not just one sided 🤸🏻‍♀️ #nofilter #myview 🌅 . . 🎶 two feet ‘quick music doodle’ & my camera had a mind of its own towards the end 👻🕺🏻

each of us has a unique part to play. at the level of the divine, none of us are in competition with each other. we do not have to compete for a piece of the cosmic pie, for the universe has an infinite number of pieces of pie. Mine doesn't take away from yours, and yours doesn't take away from mine. there is more than enough space in the ultimate universe for all of us to prosper . just as the cells of the body are programmed each to do what they are supposed to do, collaborating with other cells to foster the health of the organ of which they are part, so each of us is divinely programed to do what is best of us to do to contribute our greatest gifts to the world. as we celebrate other peoples gifts, we increase the value of our OWN. whatever we approve of in another's life, we allow ourselves to have. whatever we applause we give another, we are attracting to ourselves. 💯✨💥🍭

You’re basically getting two recipes in one, because that thick creamy sauce you see over there 🕵🏻‍♀️ for the pasta, can be heated up and turned into a butternut squash soup. it’s super filling (dairy free) because i loaded it w/ @vitalproteins marine collagen [protein, gut health, skin on point, hair for days 💁🏼 all that good stuff]. It’s so good you guys 😭🔥 the link is in my bio go get SOME ✅👊🏼 #vitalproteins #pastaclub

off again ✈️ on that cloud 9 feeling; wake up everyday grateful for what is in front of you. i feel lucky, but its because ive created & worked for everything; chosen what is & isn’t part of my life. the best thing is what everyday you can wake up and decide what type of day you’re going to have before it even starts. doing things is great, wake up feeling “on” even if you’re tired, off, or just don’t want to do it. im human and feel off lots, but a little attitude perspective shifts the whole day ✌🏼 you’ve got this 💛 . .

orders take out, dresses it up in my own bowls / utensils to act as if i cooked myself up a nice meal 💕💃🏻 reality im drowning 💻 📝📱 & have no time soooo, having a late lunch of some wild salmon, chipotle lemon brussels, a vegan kale caesar salad, mixed greens, i added in my homemade pesto + broccoli sprouts & sprinkled some turmeric & apple cider vinegar🔥🔥would be simple to remake, this is what I typically get when I do lunch take outs, tons of veggies & protein (usually fish only if it’s wild though) / what I would normally cook up; then just add in a few extra things like my fav spices or ACV to help w/ digestion 😬 hope you guys are having a good day, feeling good, & getting things done ✅ 💛 #keepingit💯 morning smoothie aka lemme just throw in as many things into my blender as i can to hide the taste of my veggies to start my day off feeling like a 👸🏼 💯 👉🏼 made a choco thick shake w/ some #guthealth goods 🔥 . . 1 cup @nectarandgreen pure almond milk Handful frozen spinach + 1/2 cup frozen peas 1 frozen banana or do half 2 tbsp cacao powder 1 tbsp @eatnuttzo PB, changed my mind last min 1 scoop @vitalproteins marine collagen 1 scoop @pureencapsulations l- glutamine powder (talk more about this later, in a blog post I’m working on; gut health 💯💯) Lots of ground flaxseed, cinnamon, maca powder. 👉🏼👉🏼 If anything, I always add in the collagen (gut health, skin, hair etc), fiber, and less sugar if possible and try to sweeten it with either 1 date or half a banana if I do anymore I just feel terrible, crash later, etc. Also I like to rotate the veggies too! That’s impt! Maca for hormones, cacao for magnesium + helps with my headaches + gives me energy! PB cuz I luv it ☺️ But, do you for smoothies not what everyone else does with their 27 banana smoothies or 10 scoops of PB unless that works for you 🙃 each of us has a unique part to play. at the level of the divine, none of us are in competition with each other. we do not have to compete for a piece of the cosmic pie, for the universe has an infinite number of pieces of pie. Mine doesn't take away from yours, and yours doesn't take away from mine. there is more than enough space in the ultimate universe for all of us to prosper . just as the cells of the body are programmed each to do what they are supposed to do, collaborating with other cells to foster the health of the organ of which they are part, so each of us is divinely programed to do what is best of us to do to contribute our greatest gifts to the world. as we celebrate other peoples gifts, we increase the value of our OWN. whatever we approve of in another's life, we allow ourselves to have. whatever we applause we give another, we are attracting to ourselves. 💯✨💥🍭 k, the butternut squash mac & ‘cheese’ i made yesterday is up on the blog. You’re basically getting two recipes in one, because that thick creamy sauce you see over there 🕵🏻‍♀️ for the pasta, can be heated up and turned into a butternut squash soup. it’s super filling (dairy free) because i loaded it w/ @vitalproteins marine collagen [protein, gut health, skin on point, hair for days 💁🏼 all that good stuff].

Teaching yoga to all these ladies, raising money for @pspca 🐶, & being graciously hosted by @frankandwhit 💛 the peak and pit of my day? the peak of my day; the new friendships & the whirlwind experience and the pit; I think the death stares I got when I realized how hot the room was getting with all 60 of us cramped in there. I like it hot😜😜 & now back to BOS! ✈️🙌🏻💯 off again ✈️ on that cloud 9 feeling; wake up everyday grateful for what is in front of you. i feel lucky, but its because ive created & worked for everything; chosen what is & isn’t part of my life. the best thing is what everyday you can wake up and decide what type of day you’re going to have before it even starts. doing things is great, wake up feeling “on” even if you’re tired, off, or just don’t want to do it. im human and feel off lots, but a little attitude perspective shifts the whole day ✌🏼 you’ve got this 💛 . . [ & now I am here w/ my @frankandwhit event raising money for PSCA 🐶 💛 , teaching a yoga class mañana and some fun this weekend. I’ll story along a bit!]
