Sometimes the thing we least want to do is what we need to do most. Sure, a Friday night dinner with your best friends, a Saturday house party, a Thursday museum event or wine tasting have allure. But you're frazzled and not seeing the forest for the trees. You feel like you just can't get a break, you're giving short answers to questions at work and, frankly, everyone is driving you crazy! You know what? You need a night in.

Here's what the staff at California Psychics do on their nights in. Maybe you can pick up a new ritual or two from our hard-working team.

Clarity and the ocean
My perfect night in starts out with a long walk or run to the beach to clear my head from the day's events. When I come home, I take a relaxing bath, change into comfortable clothing, light candles, dim the lights and have a glass of wine. Sometimes, I enjoy reading a good book or watching a great movie. I like to go to bed by midnight so I get a good night's rest and knowing that I will wake up refreshed and alert will make for an even better night's sleep. I end my night by listening to relaxing music (such as meditation CDs on prosperity or abundance), while writing in my journal or doing a quick meditation. I always make sure to listen or read something beautiful and peaceful before going to bed. Then I won't have disturbing dreams - I never watch the news or violent movies either. (Julia)

Alone again, naturally
First, I turn on the lights in the house, exactly as I like them - dim yet focused on the beautiful art pieces in the rooms. I leave the television off, then light my favorite candles (D&G at the moment). I burn incense (carried back from a recent trip to Indonesia) on the Buddhist alter by the front door and turn on Jason Bentley - my favorite DJ who plays cool global dance music and interesting remixes of indie bands.
