The state of being in great health, and continually striving to attain all of your goals.

Scientists Have Discovered: All Our Troubles Cause Our Various Diseases.
Repressed negative emotions affect our health and can lead to physical illness. Any emotion that has not been expressed causes an inner conflict, which is externalized by disease.

DIET AND EXERCISE NOT WORKING?
So many people view dieting as some sort of cosmic punishment for not having the perfect body. They believe that enjoying food is somehow bad for them, which couldn’t be further from the truth. If you want to be completely honest with yourself, when it comes to dieting, it isn’t about giving up food or flavor; it’s about discovering new foods and flavors.

Key Signs That Your Mindfulness Practice Is Working
Mindfulness is defined simply as ‘the state of being conscious or aware of something.’ So, a mindfulness practice can be anything — meditation, yoga, contemplation, cold water therapy, breathwork, ice baths, chanting, singing, dancing, art-making, sewing, surfing, running, writing, martial arts, tantric lovemaking, sport… or any of the other myriad of ways we connect to ourselves.

Sweet Dreams
I need to sleep like I have a concussion. I don’t want an actual concussion, only the sleep. I’ve had eight major concussions in my life ( and a few minor ones), and I can say with the highest level of certainty that it is the pinnacle of slumber mastery. Even though everyone says not to fall asleep when you get a concussion, I would argue that it’s worth the risk.

Serine sleep solutions.
Serene sleep solutions. There are several sleep-inducing steps one could take to resolve restlessness and deprivation. Start by setting a sleep schedule. Structure your day factoring in meals, a pre-sleep hygiene routine, wind-down time, and a steady bedtime. The body’s sleep regulatory system favors a set schedule for optimal performance. A few weeks of dedicated discipline will make it easier to fall asleep at the same time every day. Over time, your brain and body align and adjust to your internal clock. Eating a fulfilling high-fat/low carb meal two to four hours before bed helps to stave off hunger, and supports a slumberous siesta. Likewise, a warm bath or hot shower can be soothing solutions to wash away the stress of the day and ease restfully into the night. Wind down with mindfulness activities like yoga, meditation, journaling, and other calmative peaceful practices to set yourself up to sleep.

Getting A Good Night's Sleep Is Good For The Body
This year, as we march towards the Chinese Year of the Tiger, I pledge to give myself just the right amount of sleep. Too much sleep, I feel tired the next day. Too little sleep often robs me of the ability to do tasks the next day.

Freedom to Flow
“Flow” was always something that felt impossible, incompatible, foreign to me. You would think that as a dancer, I could claim flow confidently...second nature. You learn the moves, you do the moves, in order, the right way, but something still feels off...why? To an outsider, the choreography might look impeccable, and to you, smooth and passable - but it isn’t enough. A quiet judgement is born and grows...in the shadows...snowballing in your subconscious, making surprise visits when you sleep - apparently soundly, but dreaming in cacophony.

Ahead, on time
You might speculate on problems, but solutions speak their own language, a different language. It is always funny to see the distance between what the relaxed version you thinks of a situation and how you previously thought of it.

Falling In Love with Falling Asleep
Sleeping at night and I have a love-hate relationship. In which I mean I love it but it hates me. It teases me for hours every night, letting me slip right to the edge of consciousness before I violently jolt awake and have to restart the process. Then, when I do finally fall asleep, it is all too soon before I have to wake up and I feel like a groggy mess.

Insomnia Cookies
New years hardly feel new when your sleep cycle is imbalanced working we often forget to treat ourselves to one of the best gifts on this planet. Sleep is the greatest gift on this planet aside from the awesomeness of knowing that half of the population is probably sleeping at the same time, sleep gives us the energy we need to be great.

Rest For The Soul
Losing my regular job in the midst of the crazy changes happening to our planet over the past two years has been a blessing in disguise: it has caused me to re-evaluate my life choices and I’ve made conscious space for my creativity to emerge from its long-buried crypt. I feel more alive and joyful, and yes, even peaceful in the midst of the ongoing worldly turmoil. Self-care is now given non-negotiable precedence because I know that if I can’t and don’t take care of myself properly, then I’m not going to give my best to everything I do. In explaining my recent life changes to family and friends, I often use the analogy of airline oxygen mask instructions (how we are told to make sure to put on our own masks first before we assist others needing our help) to illustrate the common sense necessity of prioritizing care of ourselves before others. Out of that resolve to care firstly for myself, I’ve unintentionally reawakened the creative side of my being and have started to nurture my long-buried desire to write again. I wish to continue in this path that has brought me peace and to share the little that I’ve learned with fellow spirit travelers to help them along their own journeys. In this article, I will detail five ways I have invested in rest and reaped the creative benefits as well as my continuing resolutions.
