You do not need a perfect routine to create a calmer evening. Five intentional minutes can be enough to interrupt the feeling that the day is simply continuing without an end.
Start by putting away one source of noise. Sit somewhere comfortable, let your shoulders drop and breathe at a pace that feels natural.
Choose one small luxury
A favourite hand cream, a warm towel, a cup of tea or a scent you associate with rest can become a surprisingly effective cue. The point is giving your attention somewhere softer to land.
