An effective night routine balances the 3 Doshas in Ayurveda.

Ways To Create And Enhance Your Nightly Routine: Balancing The 3 Doshas

Ayurveda revolves around the concept of balance, so that one may find one's truest self. Routines are vital for putting this key concept into practice. The fundamental elements, or Doshas, (Vita, Pitta, and Kapha) are the natural forces that one should focus on.

Having solid routines is essential to being able to practice self-care with a busy schedule and a create a strong equilibrium between the 3 Doshas, which is an important practice in Ayurveda. Life can be over be overwhelming without balance and making a routine a priority. As Aristotle once said, “We are what we repeatedly do.” Routine allows for more daily structure and stability. As a result, more peace of mind can be gained, and focus shifted to health and creating a balance. Each person has a unique ratio of each Dosha within them: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Different practices can be supplemented to work on each daily.  

Below is a culmination of ideas to begin a more balanced night routine and level out the 3 Doshas within the body. 

Work-Life Balance 

One element of a quality routine is work-life balance, which supports the Pitta Dosha. By making it a priority, it allows one to switch focus from work to health at the end of the day. 70% of individuals who work full-time report experiencing burnout, which can be avoided or aided by simply prioritizing one’s Pitta Dosha, mental health, and practicing self-care, especially if this person has a high percentage of this Dosha within themselves.

Movement  

Daily movement is beneficial for both the mind and body. It releases stress, frees pent-up energy, and improves the quality of sleep. Routine movement is key in balancing the Vata Dosha and promoting overall health throughout the body. The Vata Dosha is strongly associated with physical activity and mindfulness, which allows one to manage stress within. If one holds a strong sense of the Vata Dosha, then daily exercise is crucial.

Balanced Diet  

A well-balanced, healthy diet is critical, especially when following Ayurvedic practices. However, it is also beneficial to treat the body to something sweet every now and then. If you are currently participating in a cleanse, you can still enjoy the Clean Chocolate Bars in three flavors: raspberry, sea salt, and almond butter. A healthy diet is balanced and non-restrictive. Allowing one’s body to consume both healthy meals comprised of vegetables, fruits, and grains, as well as rewarding it with clean chocolate creates that balance. This is a key element in ensuring that the Kapha Dosha is aligned properly and stabilized.

Limited Tech Use  

The blue light that is emitted from smart devices is extremely harmful to one’s sleep, especially during one’s bedtime routine. According to the Sleep Foundation, blue light effectively curbs the body’s release of melatonin, which works to make one feel drowsy and aids in falling asleep. Sleep is so critical for numerous body functions and is a key component of balancing the Kapha Dosha, which is associated with stability. For a person with a Kapha-dominant body, a consistent sleep routine should be established and followed.  

 Overall Balance 

Ayurveda revolves around the concept of balance, so that one may find one's truest self. Routines are vital for putting this key concept into practice.
