Peace of Mind

Tranquility and peace of mind are paramount to a well balanced lifestyle. Important elements include our relationships with friends and loved ones, the work we choose, our past times and interests, and our down time; the time we spend alone. I hope to share articles, recommendations for getaways, meditation exercises, spa listings, and much more that will help you achieve the quality of life you were born to live.

Rest

Woman_sleep It is important to get a good night's sleep.  A full 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep is recommended for women.  It is good for your body, mind, and soul.  If you have trouble falling asleep, it is suggested that you lay still without moving.  Movement will interrupt the body and the mind's relaxation and you will have to start all over again.  Do not watch television in bed it makes for unrestful sleep.  Also, if you experience unrestful sleep and you tend to get up in wee hours of the morning with a list of to-do's running through your mind -- keep a pen and paper by your bedside.  Once you write the to-do's down -- your mind is freed up to get back to the business of sleep.   Pleasant dreams.

Join my Journey

Sunf I am wiser than some and not as wise as others. I am just like you -- involved in work, school, family, friends, and just taking care of life's stuff.  My journey includes learning to focus on what matters to me, being able to prioritize, and utilizing my energy to create a rich positive environment to live in.  I have made many changes in my life over the past few years, and it is not until this moment that I realized  that my journey does not end with those changes, but it continues as the path I pave every day with the choices I make and the relationships I forge. 

A few tips to keep it real for yourself:

  • The authentic you -- Learn who you are, and learn to love who you are.
  • Come from a positive place -- Think and make decisions from a positive place without negativity.
  • Be thoughtful -- Always be thoughtful in all your movements, actions and choices you make for yourself and others.
  • Integrity -- Be true to your word, always, without exception.
  • Priority -- Know what is important to you and do not lose site of it.
  • Impact -- You are powerful. Realize your impact on the world and use it wisely, responsibly, and selflessly.

A good life requires some introspection.  It is not meant to be easy, but it is meant to be an adventure.
