I love Spring!
Sunday, March 9, 2008
When Springtime rolls around I start to feel like I'm finally coming back to life. I feel renewed, revived and like I have a fresh start or a clean slate.
I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping and have noticed an increase in my anxiety levels for the past few weeks thanks to all of the stress I've been under. All of my self-care practices have been placed on the back burner and I'm feeling the effects from that, so this morning before crawling into bed (at 9:30 am...) I promised myself that I would get back on track and start implementing some routines to make my life a little easier.
So for now, here's my tentative bedtime routine:
10 pm: Bath (I'm going to take back my bathroom once and for all!)
10:30 pm: Paper Journal - affirmations, goals, ideas
11:00 pm : Meditate
11:15 pm: Go to sleep
Going to sleep just after 11 pm is going to be hard for the first week or so, but once I get on track I just have to stick to it. I've also got some plans and goals for the other areas of my life but one step at a time right?

Having a set schedule is such a huge help! I'm trying to get back to mine as well because its been lapsing this past week. So this morning I've made myself wake up at my regular 5 - 6 am (early schedule due to college classes being early) and I'm waiting for my coffee to brew. Its funny that you'd be dealing with the same stuff. Thank God spring is here! Woo hoo!
