Have you ever noticed that you think of your biggest problems when you go to bed? You lay there in the dark thinking “I should have done this today” or “Maybe if I did that differently” or “Maybe I should have spoken to them”. This causes us to have a bad night’s sleep and we wake up in the mornings with that problem magnified.
Try this …
When you go to bed, imagine yourself in a field, barefoot, with the sun streaming down. The warmth on your face. You walk through the field with the grass gently brushing against your feet, relaxing you. You come to a gate, and walk through it, up a short driveway to a house with the door open. Go into the house and you see pictures on the wall. These pictures depict different scenes. You can enter one of these to go where you want to with no problems in the world.
I hope you have a good day and a good week. Remember, a problem is not forever. Oh, I saw this today as well:
You know what is really, powerfully sexy? A sense of humour. A taste for adventure. A healthy glow. Hips to grab on to. Openness. Confidence. Humility. Appetite. Intuition. … Smart-ass comebacks. Presence. A quick wit. Dirty jokes told by an innocent looking lady. A woman who realises how beautiful she is.

I may have to just try that tonight 😉 Sweet dreams!
Hope it works for you 🙂
Yes, better things are coming! 🙂 Wonderful quotes!
Yes they are. 🙂
This inspirational post just keeps getting better and better!!!! Thanks!
Thank you Terry. I hope you are getting some sleep
A great thought for those sleepless nights I seem to have. 🙂
I hope they can help then
HUGS : )

I listen to new age music and empty my mind void of any thoughts and before you know it I’m sleep. 🙂
Cool 🙂 I don’t have any music in my bedroom. I tried putting my stereo in there the other night but the speakers wouldn’t go anywhere proper.
I plug my Ipod in my ears. Well the earphones. 🙂
Hmm. Suppose I could do that with my iPhone. Just make sure I don’t have any messages come through 😆
🙂 Yea that would throw you off. 😆
Just a bit. Dozing off and I get a bleep that I have a text or an email, or a tweet or a blog comment lol
🙂 I know I had to turn off my tweet notification it was killing my battery.
I never thought it could be that draining my battery. I’m a silly sod lol
No you’re not. I have an android and everything drains the battery.
Wonderful ones for this week. I won’t need any help falling asleep, I will try it a 2am when I wake up and then think of the problems……thanks
lol That’s always the worst ones. Although, knowing what is going on for me tomorrow, I think that it is going to be difficult for me to go to sleep tonight, I am not sure if that will help me tonight.
Wishing you a good day tomorrow whatever your challenge is! Hugs
Thanks Ute. I will be posting about it later. There is no way it can be a good day though 😥
Love relaxation techniques…they come in handy! I try to avoid watching anything on TV or reading anything violent before bedtime too. That can totally ruin a night for me 😦
Oh…and I fit almost all of the description by Courtney E. Martin (great name btw) except for “innocent looking”!! HA HA! Yeah…NOPE! Nuthin innocent about me! I got that “look” downpat! You know the one that says “What the hell are you up to?” he he he…..
🙂
HAHA Love it 🙂 As I was typing the name, I thought of you 🙂
I have to read before I go to sleep. It calms me down. Then, if I remember, I will go to the house and pick a picture.
Sleep, I hear it is elusive. Good words and ideas for sleeping, all it takes is one bad thought and the night’s ruined. We should all just chill more.
Thanks Ste J. That was a method a taught to me by a counsellor about 10 years ago. It works.
Hey… what’s with all the positive, uplifting, upbeat messages? If I wanted someone to blow sunshine up may ass I would hire a fairy… seriously… that was nice… I needed that… even though I have a sense of humor and adventure and all that other stuff… I even have hips, but my butt is disappearing… any advice for that?
Eat a balloon. That way, when you pass gas, it blows it out making your butt look bigger 🙂
I will give that a try… but no peeking…
😀
Thank you dear Al, these are so precious words… Love, nia
Thank you Nia. I hope you have a great day
It’s nice to be reminded of this, especially on a Monday morning. Beautifully written.
Thank you Nature Girl. I hope you have a wonderful week.
This is totally beautiful ! If’s and but’s can cause nothing but problems.
