16 Ideas for Better Sleep
If you’re having trouble sleeping, you’re certainly not alone. It’s estimated that as many as 70 million Americans suffer from sleep deprivation!

First, start with setting an intention of when you want to be in bed. For example, if you want 8 hours of sleep and you need to wake up at 6:00, plan to be ready for sleep by 10:00. This means you’ll want to start getting ready for bed by 9:30.

Do You Want Successful And Attainable New Year’s Resolutions?

She doesn’t necessary always feel that she is stressed during the Christmas season, but she has learned that since this is a yearly event for her, the busyness and emotion of the season (stress) takes its toll.

Creating a Stress-Free Holiday
I can hardly believe that Christmas is literally just around the corner. How are you doing with your shopping? do you have lists made for all you have to get done? Is your social calendar full?
The holidays are among us – a time of year that’s known for its busy nature that can lead to quite the load of stress. After all, you likely have several invitations to gatherings collecting on your counter, a long list of people you need to send holiday cards to, and the daunting task of braving the shopping mall crowds to find the gifts for your loved ones. All of this, on top of your normal every day life. It can be overwhelming to say the least.
