For a healthy mind, body, and soul.
Naps are healthy, Oversleeping isn't.
Last year felt like a disaster and it was puzzling at the same time. I’ll give credit that half the year was productive and progressive, until the last couple of seasons. I managed to sleep all day long just gazing out the window waiting for some type of signal for help. The excuses I made were ridiculous and as much as I told my significant other, my family, or my friends that I was going to do whatever I needed to do “tomorrow,” I never did or would just push it until the end because I would prefer to sleep it off than to be awake in this reality. Everyone’s been there, but to keep doing it for months, was causing a lot of reasons why my mental health was not okay which also follows with my physical well-being. However, this year is going to be my year to focus and to grow personally while also taking my business to go to the next level. I was just writing in point form what my New Years' resolution will be this year and here are some things I want to point out for you.

6 Signs That You Are Not Sleeping Well
Your body recharges as it sleeps, making restorative and restful sleep a crucial focus point for better health. Even if you are sleeping, you may not be sleeping well. Staying in the light stages of sleep actually can “hurt” you just as much as sleep deprivation itself! When looking to help your body feels at its best, quality sleep is integral.

How Do I Achieve The Perfect Nights Sleep?
Sleep? Who has time to sleep? Sure we all sleep, but truthfully no one gets enough, and if we are honest with ourselves, how much sleep is ever enough? It would seem the more we sleep, the sleeper we get, but hey, what do I know?

Good Sleep Sets You Up for Success
I am a sleeper. I love my bed! I love to sleep! I feel my body requires a lot of it to function optimally. I need approximately 8-9 hours to feel good. When I was younger, I undervalued the importance of getting adequate sleep. Needless to say, no more all-nighters for me!

How to Thwart Psychic Attacks
In my previous story (read here), I defined psychic attacks and how they work. If you made it to this part 2, I can only assume you somewhat believe in psychic attacks and therefore, now have interest in thwarting them. So, how exactly do you protect yourself from psychic attacks? There is actually no one way to do it. The "right" way is the one or combo that works best for you. My main line of defense is self protection. I start there because it allows me to protect myself without harming another which is important to me. I don't want to hurt others, I just don't want to be hurt. And to keep me safe, I raise my vibration. Why? I'll use this fax analogy. Although antiquated technology, it works as a good explanation.

My New Year’s Resolution Has Already Fixed My Sleep
I think we can all agree it’s been a crappy year for all of us and we’ve sought different ways to deal with the long, drawn-out days, while our countries decide how they’re going to deal with the pandemic. If there was a year to forego the New Year’s Resolution, it was going to be this one. According to UAB Medicine, only 8% of people who make New Year’s Resolutions actually stick to them. That isn’t a great statistic to know when you’re trying to better yourself, is it? My way of coping with the pandemic was drinking, and I’ll admit that I drink too much, but last year was an exception to the rule. With my country’s future being held in the palm of a scruffy-haired buffoon, I decided to drown my sorrows most days, opting for alcohol after midday when the important company work was done. This worked, for the most part. During the summer, my husband and I drank all the tropical alcoholic beverages multiple times over. We didn’t need to get up early for work in the morning; we’d just slid out of bed and boot up our computers. We were also experiencing a really hot summer for the UK, so barbecues and alcohol were in full swing most evenings. It’s funny how drinking in the summer feels more acceptable. Those long evenings, sat out on the terrace drinking from a jug of pre-mixed booze as the air begins to chill. There’s something magical about it. However, towards the end of this year, I began to worry. At what point would this “magic” stop? The summer had ended and the lockdown wasn’t going anywhere, in fact, it was about to get even more serious, as a new strain of the virus was hitting our shores. On the 28th of December, after another round of cheese and crackers, accompanied by a bottle of port and vodka and cokes, we slumped on the sofa. Too much food and alcohol had once again filled our evening and we were falling into a heavy nap state. I realised that I was organising my days around drinking and that was insane. I was freeing up time so I could cook and drink, or bathe and drink, or read a book and drink.

What Are Psychic Attacks and How Do They Work?. Top Story - December 2021.
Psychic attack. UGH! What a horrible thing to deal with. Everyone comes under psychic attack now and again. The first thing is to define psychic attack. There are many definitions out there along with a good many theories. Certainly, every authority figure out there has their own spin on it. I share the one I like best.

Introverts Struggle with Asking for Help
We all have trouble asking for help at times, but for some of us, it’s harder than expected. Everyone has their own feelings on why we don’t and that’s OK, but we need to understand that it’s not a bad thing to ask for help.
