A friend of ours, Joanna Lindenbaum of Applied Depth Institute, shared this great tip to help us sleep better at night! Give it a try - I did and love it!!! (Shannon)
"My naturopath wanted me to get outside within 15 minutes of waking up every morning for about 15-20 minutes in order to support melatonin production for better sleep.
For the last week, I've been doing this, and it has been magical time for me. I go outside upon waking without any technology, sit outside, take a few minutes to take in the morning...and then take another 20ish minutes to read fiction, just for the fun of it! So instead of starting my days with work, with scrolling through the news...or even with meditation or journaling, I start my days with total and complete PLEASURE. With an activity that seems indulgent and more like a reward for the end of the day instead of something to start the day with.
And it is just incredible. And exactly what I needed without even knowing I needed it. And oddly, not a hard habit to get off the ground.
Plus, I am sleeping better.
I highly recommend!"
