My New Year's Resolutions
I have many New Year’s resolutions for myself, but unlike many of my peers, mine are all about keeping my mind and/or my body relaxed and happy. The first one is technically regarding how my resolutions are made: instead of a big goal, I’m going the more relaxing route of utilizing simple, small goals that add up to big changes! For the purpose of this article, we'll count that as a how and not as the first goal. lol

Thanatophobia in 2021
If you calculate how much sleep I’ve had in each year of my life, I am almost positive that I’ve never had less than I did last year.

Sweet Lies Before Bed. Top Story - January 2022.
Hi, I'm Alvin. I'm a 26-year-old entrepreneur, and I suffer from anxiety. I didn't always feel this way. Just two years ago, I was as happy and as carefree as a lamb. I ran a successful sports event business. Life was calm and peaceful and good...then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked coronavirus struck.

When I dream, I am awake As we are awake, we dream. As we sleep, our dreams become awake. This is the only way our minds we can sort through our thoughts and help us to realize our truest desires, as we sleep. When we are awake life can be like a dream. We should feel as though we can get through our day Knowing that when we lay our heads to rest, we can be sure that our brains will process stimuli and challenges presented when we were awake. We get closer to our dreams as we conquer life awake and our dreams can merge with reality making our dreams come true. So my resolution is simple, it is to dream. But when I dream, I plan on dreaming with intention, getting the most for my buck. The bigger the struggle awake, the deeper we should or could dream. Don’t give up on life when we are awake. I'm asleep how can I get things done? This idea may seem like an oxymoron but it works. Well see, when we sleep our minds are free, free of physical restraints, free of doubts and insecurities. This can lead you to having an open mind for discovery. Stay woke in your dreams. Dream while you are awake. We may never know what our dreams may bring if we don’t sleep. Dreams tell us things about waking life. Sleep cannot only be for resting eyes but also for a wandering mind lost in a world awake, full of madness and chaos but you see it may seem that way in a dream. Well, what does it all mean? Hopefully you see when you dream that our truest desires and realist challenges can be explained. The world can bring things to us that can seem so dull and hopeless. So, to close our eyes to it all temporarily in order to see past and work through the pain and confusion, is such a great gift that will turn those feelings of despair into a chance to create a life in the waking that you can enjoy. If we can somehow connect the two, our dreams and real life, then the options, goals and dreams, love and happiness all that a person could need could be available to ones life , sort of like a grand opening for a brand new life.

Can A Dream Tell Us The Future
Much has been written regarding dreams and their meanings or purpose. Mankind has been fascinated with our dreams since the first dreamer awoke and wondered about what their visions meant. Since ancient times we have looked to our dreams to find signs of what our future holds. The first written dreams we know of were in 4000 BC. The earliest writings we have on dreams are primarily texts on their religious and spiritual significance.

A Sleep Routine
You’d think a raving insomniac would have something to say about sleep, but I have nothing useful to offer. I don’t have any advice about how to achieve a restful night’s sleep. I can’t even get to sleep!

A Letter To Little Me
Dear Little Amanda, Please, save your heart for someone who wants to take care of it and cherish it. You will meet many, many men in your life. You will have tons of experiences where you can learn about trust. But you only have one chance to write your own fairy tale, so don't miss out on that opportunity.

Why is Some Rest Restless?
Rest and I have always had an un-easy relationship. I suppose that's because rest is so often times mixed up in its definition with me as sleep or stagnation, simply non-movement.

Sometimes the Strongest Thing We Can Do...
Many of us struggle to ask for help. We see it as weak. We feel like if we can’t do it on our own, we are deficient and something is wrong with us.

Doggedly determined ...
This New Year's Eve I set my intention to be more 'dog', because 'dog' is the path to a good night's sleep. When I ask my dog, 'what's with you?', she gives me a look that says 'nada', which is impressive as I'm pretty sure she doesn't speak Spanish. Then she yawns, shuffles a little on the hearth rug and returns to doggie dreamland. At times, envious of her ability to just snooze at will, I toss a distractor:

THE BREAD TRAP
Sleep shouldn't be hard! I personally have no trouble slinking off into the beautiful dark silk of night. I know others do. The trouble I have now, in my mid forties is staying awake. But how has it come to this? Admittedly I am a little overweight. But I exercise when I can. I snore - like Godzilla with a cold - my wife constantly says. But I have had tests for sleep apnoea which have proved fruitless. I have depression. Inflammatory arthritis. I need to cut myself some slack right?

Hidden Signs Of Stress
We are all victims of stress, often without even realizing it. Many who experience constant stress choose to eat, drink and smoke more in the hope that they will feel better, instead of trying to eliminate the factors that brought them into that state.
