Your Evening Regimen
Most people forget that a strong evening regimen is just as important as a good morning regimen. Building a strong evening regimen allows you to end each day in a powerful state of mind. The goal of your evening regimen is to celebrate and cleanse the day, and to recharge yourself. Again, consistency is key here, and you want something simple that you can repeat every day.

Wherever you are in life, this 4-step regimen has everything you need for a complete mindset recharge. Of course you can add, experiment with, or exclude any of these items should you desire.
