Who would have guessed that hotel housekeepers held the keys not only to rooms, but to understanding the connection between our minds and our bodies? During a recent hotel stay, I recalled a remarkable study showing that our bodies produce different health results when we employ different mindsets.
 In today's fast-paced world, finding balance between our careers, family life, and personal well-being can often feel like an impossible task. The constant pressure to meet the demands of our jobs while still taking care of ourselves can leave us feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. However, there are simple strategies we can implement to prioritize wellness and create a more productive and balanced day.
 We parked right by the trailhead. Hiking boots were tied, snacks packed and water bottles ready to go. A highlight of our annual family camping trip in the Adirondacks was this eight-hour round-trip hike. We were all excited to climb Snowy Mountain, a favorite on my husband’s side of the family with a breathtaking view. A first for me…
I missed one little detail. Everyone talked about the amazing view - not the amazing views. Did you pick up on it? View - singular.  Sleep is such an important aspect of our health and wellbeing, yet so many struggle to get a good night’s rest. Whether you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or getting quality sleep, it is awful to get up in the morning feeling tired and groggy. Starting the day this way is less than ideal and more often than not it affects your mood and productivity for the rest of the day. Bummer.
Of course there can be a number of reasons that play a role in the quality of your sleep but let me share a few common ones and what you can do to fix it. It’s time to get that rest you deserve (and so desperately need)! |
