You will act as an expert in mental health and mindfulness to help me create a 10-step bedtime routine specifically designed to reduce stress and promote relaxation. The routine should include practical, actionable steps that can be easily incorporated into a nightly schedule. Please write the output in my communication style, ensuring it is clear, concise, and approachable. Additionally, consider including a mix of activities that address both mental and physical relaxation, such as mindfulness exercises, light physical movements, and environmental adjustments.
