For now, I am doing this blog for myself, to remind me of what works, what I am trying, and to hold myself accountable and encourage myself! : ) Someday I may have the courage to let someone see what I am doing.
I have a useful tip I would like to share. First heard this from an herbalist that I and the Faith folks used to use. He lived in Colorado and had several wives! lol! Crazy! One of his wives shared this with us...: ) When you go to sleep at night, pay attention to the tension you carry in your body, especially your face. You will be amazed how most of us have our faces scrunched as we are thinking about the day, about tomorrow, about our troubles. Once you are aware, deliberately relax your facial muscles, especially around your mouth and your jaw. I have terrible TMJ, and this practice at night has really been helping me. Continue that relaxation all the way down your body. Some people get weird with this and chant things, but I pray! : ) Its not long at all before I'm sleeping! Now I still have major sleep issues, but when I wake up I do the relaxation thing beginning in my face, pray and again and try not to worry that I'm not getting enough sleep! lol! I really don't! I close at Starbucks almost every night, my girls often open at Starbucks, and they aren't really quiet getting ready! So besides my insomnia there is always something going on. I figure I can sleep when I'm 55 or so! lol
