Tuesday Tips: Do you have problems sleeping? Is it hard to fall asleep and/or stay asleep through the night? Something called "sleep hygiene" is a natural way to help your body learn healthy sleep patterns. Be patient with yourself; it can take a couple weeks of consistently implementing these tips for you to feel the results. Sleep Hygiene: *Establish a regular bedtime and waking time each day *Set a caffeine/stimulant cut off time... *Turn off all screens an hour before bed time *Sleep on a firm, level, comfortable bed *Find a comfortable sleep temperature setting (a cool room is best) *Develop a sleep routine (ex: shower, brush teeth, listen to a song, sleep) *Do not focus on insomnia. Use a journal and a dim light to jot down nagging thoughts. *Do not eat too much before going to sleep, but also avoid going to bed hungry *Sleep in the silence and in the dark *Keep a bright and stimulating environment in the day *Make sure to get enough exercise throughout the day *Throughout the day, spend time outside or near a window See more

"Take risks. If you win, you will be happy. If you lose, you will be wise." Author Unknown

I was returning from high school one day and a runaway horse with a bridle on sped past a group of us into a farmer's yard looking for a drink of water. The horse was perspiring heavily. And the farmer didn't recognize it so we cornered it. I hopped on the horse's back. Since it had a bridle on, I took hold of the rein and said, "Giddy-up." Headed for the highway, I knew the horse would turn in the right direction. I didn't know what the right direction was. And the horse tro...tted and galloped along. Now and then he would forget he was on the highway and start into a field. So I would pull on him a bit and call his attention to the fact the highway was where he was supposed to be. And finally, about four miles from where I had boarded him, he turned into a farmyard and the farmer said, "So that's how that critter came back. Where did you find him?" I said, "About four miles from here." "How did you know you should come here?" I said, "I didn't know. The horse knew. All I did was keep his attention on the road." --Phoenix by David Gordon, quoting Milton Erickson See more
