💙 Your glymphatic system is your brain’s lymphatic system, helping to clear waste from and deliver nutrients to the brain. Anything that gets your lymph moving can also help your glymphatic system move.
😴 Sleep is especially important for your glympahtic system because it’s the time your body and brain reset, and when the glymphatic system is most efficient.
🌜 At night, begin to wind down. Bring your energy down. An hour or two before bedtime, start dimming the lights. Do this not only for children, but for yourself as well. Slow down. Read a book or do something relaxing. Try gentle nighttime yoga or meditation. Follow the day and night rhythms of the sun.
✨
☀️ In the morning, if you want to support your circadian rhythms on the other end of the cycle, go for a morning walk. I once read that we should try to see as many sunrises and sunsets as possible because they are nourishing for the soul.
🌤️ Looking at the sunrise and sunset feels like a universal language of inspiration, beauty, hope, and love. I cannot think of anyone who does not enjoy gazing at those colors. These colors help set our circadian rhythms, and we can use them more mindfully throughout the day.
