After a lazy Sunday, I log onto my laptop at about 5pm to do some content creation. I write a blog post and newsletter, create my plan for the week ahead and then log off around 7:45pm.

I sit down and have salmon, new potatoes and vegetables for dinner. I then remember I haven’t taken my tablets for the day so have half a glass of water (normal tumbler size) with vitamin C and take my iron tablet, vitamin D and a multivitamin.

On Sunday I try to have a slightly more relaxing evening than in the week, so around 9:30pm I get into the bath, into which I’ve poured a healthy amount of lavender bubble bath. I also light a lavender and camomile candle. I stay in for 45 minutes and end up getting into bed at 10:45pm.

I wake up once in the middle of the night at 2:25am, and then again at 7:30am – an hour and a half before my alarm is set to go off at 9am. My eyes are tired and I don’t feel as refreshed as I would like, but I get up and do 15 minutes of yoga and write down my goals before jumping in the shower.
