The Peaceful Sleeping Method

This peaceful sleeping method requires only a few small yet effective techniques to add to your nightly routine that will help you avoid the sleepless nights and the morning fog. The first thing you need to do is to change or add to your pre-sleep down-time. A nightly down-time routine preps your body for bed time. Start your down-time routine at least an hour before sleep time. For example, turn off the big bright lights and use the accent lights in your house instead. Also, avoid eating any heavy meals close to bedtime. Your body digests food better in an upright position. Lastly, you could do things that would make your morning routine smoother such as laying out your outfit or packing your lunch.

After down-time, you need to unwind and unburden yourself. Your bedtime routine should consist of the steps you take to best prepare yourself for sleep. Stretch, meditate, read- detox your mind from the day's clutter. Free yourself from the issues that plague you and may keep you up at night. For some, that may mean talking them over with your spouse or a friend. Get your worries out of your system as early as possible even if it is simply by writing them down.You may not be able to solve the problem, but you know what it is and have set it aside to be resolved at a later date. Next, you want to tap into all of your senses and give them a serenity boost. For instance, if you listen to music before bed, let it be calm and soothing like classical, jazz, or R&B. After washing the muck of the day away with a hot shower, rub your body down with your favorite cream or a scent that is light and soothing like lavender, a well known aromatherapy that induces calm, promotes relaxation, and relieves stress and tension.Your body is in your control and if all of your senses say be calm, be relaxed, and be peaceful your mind will have no choice but to get on board.

Finally, sleep time is the specific hour you need to be asleep for you to feel rested the following day. Thus, at the end of bedtime, you must set your mind to rest mode. Turn everything off and navigate your breath and your thoughts. On rest mode practice slow deep breaths and do so with either white noise or in complete silence. Mentally release any tension your body may be holding. Concentrate on the many ways your life has been blessed. Center yourself with thoughts of the things that make you smile and bring you joy as you drift off to sleep. This routine works as long as you follow your version of down-time, bedtime, and rest mode with consistent practice. Say goodbye to sleepless nights for good. Sweet Dreams.

Job Seeker: Tips and Tricks to Getting the Call

I know how difficult it is to be on the hunt for a job. You have to practically sleep with the boss-to-be just to get an interview in this economy. Well, if you have more integrity than showing a little boob to your potential employer, here are a few tips to help you stand out from the rest of the pack. So you're in the trenches of job-hunters and your phone just won't ring. How do you get noticed amongst the hundreds of other applicants? Well, you must understand the plight of your potential employer. With so many people unemployed these days, they are literally looking for a needle in a haystack. While the stack of applications flood their desks, acknowledge that you are hardly anything more than another name on a piece of paper. Most employers have the same view of applications- they're pretty much photocopies of each other, but the papers that accompany that application can make all the difference between having a job and still waiting on one. Let's talk about t...

Getting from MS. to MRS.

Usually I post about things that cater to no particular gender, however, this one right here is for the ladies. Fellas, I have not forgotten about you, and will definitely have little something for you at a later date. ;) Now, let's get down to business. First things first, you need to understand the most typical reasons why men usually will not commit in the first place. These reasons have nothing to do with you. These are issues that would be there no matter who he was dating. Simply put, most of them are waiting on the 'bigger, better, deal'- a fatter booty, a cuter face, slimmer waist, good hair, etc. What they don't realize is that waiting on the next best thing turns into anything with a pulse really fast. It will seem as if it happened overnight and then all of a sudden they became 'that dude'. We've all seen him- either at the club or in the grocery store, you can spot 'that dude' from a mile away- middle-aged, probably balding or practical...
