Does your T.V and iPhone take centre stage?.. come on, be honest!

In the intimate hours of both going to sleep and rising for the day lies both the power and opportunity to prepare ourselves for ultimate success!

Firstly, before sleeping it goes without saying that technology should stay out of the bedroom!

Sleeping is like a reset button which is wasted when you wake up and replay the same sad story that you allow yourself to be torn down by. Perhaps you didn’t get a well-deserved promotion, or you dinted your car yesterday, maybe your trip was cancelled or you have overtime to do this week, maybe your dog simply needs a bath!

Life can be very traumatic and painful, maybe you faced loss of a loved one.

With both trivial and severe situations- you CAN always improve the way you tackle life‘s trials with healthy routines.

So just quickly-
Here’s a few handy tips on how to sleep well-
1. Going to bed at the same time waking up at the same time.
2. Having a dark room
3. No bright screens or phones or laptops.
4. No caffine or alcohol.
5. If you can’t sleep, read a book in a different room then go back to your bed to go to sleep. You’re welcome

Great! But what about your mind though??? RELEASE! Is key

Release the days events, let it all go! Super! How?
Forgive people (HOW in the world do I forgive?! will be shared for my next post))) Also forgive yourself and life itself if need be and forget your tomorrows to do list for now. Yes, I know that’s in there, swimming around your mind.

Release -also any limiting grudges keeping you awake, now is the time to breathe and give thanks for your day, for your life, your dreams, smile actually Smile even slightly as you fall into a blissful sleep state.
Let it all be, it all rests as you do.

Waking up now, EMBRACE!
Greet your day- (no matter how tired you are) with ‘Thank You.’
In the tender moments of waking you really don’t need to have any specifics in mind just create feelings of gratefulness.

Or simply, Think thank you and create a smile on your face if you can make stet one. (Which you can)

If you stir on the grumpy side when you wake up, then try not to talk for a bit until you can shake the grumps off. See if you can switch your thoughts to positive before you work out your to do list for the day, to the ones that feed your energy!
As you start to move off the bed and into your day… see if you can keep feeding yourself nourishing thoughts like ‘I am blessed’ ‘I am strong’ ‘I am focused’ ‘I am prosperous’ etc.
