The Bedtime Ritual That Changes Everything

Change Agents Community with Dr. James Rouse

Today I want to share a ritual that I’ve been practicing for quite a while now. It’s all about the transformative practice of pre-bed self-recognition—a simple yet profound way to honor yourself before sleep. Grounded in science, this practice:

• Calms the amygdala (reducing stress and emotional reactivity).
• Boosts dopamine (sparking motivation and happiness).
• Strengthens resilience (helping you bounce back with greater ease).
• Fosters worthiness and self-esteem (because you ARE enough).
• When you pause to acknowledge and appreciate yourself at the close of each day, you’re rewiring your brain for peace, self-love, and unstoppable growth.

This is something you can start tonight. Small rituals. Big transformation. Let’s reimagine how we end our days—together.
