How to live a happier life and sleep better too!


one person kayak imageI have observed that in my area, there is a lot of money in the hands of the people who flock to Florida seeking fun, greater happiness and a better way of life.  In truth, don’t we all seek those attributes but struggle to achieve?   People can’t wait to retire so they can enjoy some fun, greater happiness and a better way of life yet we should be aspiring to live our lives that way on a day-to-day basis.  I can even say that if you can ideally strive to consciously live your life in a healthier way, which includes being mindful of your thoughts, you actually will enjoy a better and healthier lifestyle and a better night sleep. 

I would like to speak to how you can sleep better on a regular basis and still lead an active and successful lifestyle. I believe that most of us would like to end our day by relaxing our energy yet we place very little importance on how we can accomplish that feat.  

Here are some suggestions that I can make to you that have helped me calm my energy daily, release unwarranted nervous activity of my mind and body and allowed me to live without pills and medication. 

1.  I attempt to surround myself with positive thinking people and environments as much as possible.

2.  Spend less time texting, reading e-mails and gossiping.  While we may need to utilize those tools on a regular basis, we also need to discipline our use so that it does not overpower our lives; instead it will save our lives.

3. I center my mind often during the day to keep my focus on what is important to make my life work and to also enable me to work smarter.

4.  I frequently say mantras to calm my energy and remove over activity of my mind that, too often is trying to lead me towards negative emotions, such as, fear, worry, guilt and resentment.  I even go so far as give my ego mind instructions so that it does not control me but rather, give me the control.  An example might be:  Ego Mind, go count all my blessings in my life.  That simple statement allows me to focus on where I need to place my energy—on positive thoughts, beliefs and creative ideas.

5. Seek contentment, inner calmness and a belief that it is achievable daily.  When you live your life on purpose and have a real reason for living, you tend to be happier and more satisfied with who you are and what you are doing. 

6. Establish a real sense of self-confidence.  When you do, you are better prepared to set reasonable boundaries for your life which include identifying with your core values and what you treasure.

I work at clearing my mind nightly from all those items that cause me stress, anxiety and/or frustration.  My evenings are the time of day when I need to relax and calm my energy field so that I can ultimately sleep peacefully.  I work at it and I suggest if you want to enjoy a pleasant night sleep, you too, will need to work at it.
 
In summary, believe that it is important to quiet your mind, calm your energy and body and aim to release all worry, fear and activity of your daily life that will compromise an improved sense of inner peace and relaxation.  That is how you too will be better prepared to live a happier life and sleep better too!
