Stress Reduction Tip of the Week
If you have trouble falling asleep, establish a regular time to go to sleep (even on weekends and vacations) along with a personal bedtime ritual; maybe it’s a warm bath or cup of herbal tea. Give yourself a massage with a little warm olive oil, especially your head and feet, using a gentle circular motion. Apply a drop of lavender oil in the middle of your forehead to signal your mind to be calm. Think or say to yourself, “I trust in the flow of life; I trust and let go.” The sing song quality is hypnotic. Keep the temperature in your bedroom cool. Remember no work desk in your bedroom. The bedroom is for sex and sleeping. It doesn’t have to be in that order.

Now that you know how you can be affected by what you eat, you can go to sleep and stay asleep.
