Rested

*Sigh of relief*
Well, I listened to my own advice yesterday by doing the following simple things:
  • Juiced!
  • Danced
  • Yoga:)
  • Meditation (ten minutes is better than zero!)
  • Light and satisfying meals (smoothie, salads, quinoa, baked sweet potato, nuts)
  • NO computer after 9pm
  • Wound down for a half hour before turning out the lights (reading a novel in bed)
It all paid off. Eight wonderful, restful hours of sleep. I woke up naturally this morning and finished some writing projects before 9am! Plus, I didn't carry that negative energy with me to bed. Yes, there are dishes in the sink right now, but I feel great! It wasn't a problem fitting these things into my day even though I taught four yoga classes and worked for four hours.

This blog is a huge motivator. It keeps me on track and records my progress. I highly recommend starting a journal or a blog if you want to make healthy changes in your life or stay on track with the changes you've already made.

Hi there,
I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I'm Karen & have been friends with Jill Nissan almost all of my life. She and I were just discussing your blog over lunch today and I wanted to check it out. It's wonderful! I can't wait to explore more. You and I share a lot of the same philosphies. Especially about getting restorative sleep! I also write a healthy cooking blog and I'm constantly looking for new ways to include nutrient dense food in my life. It's been a year long experience for me and I'm hopeful I'll eat this way for the rest of my life! Anyway, I hope we get to meet in person one day. I'm sure Jill will help make an introduction.
All the best,
Karen
