If you want to Get Up, Set Up and Keep Up, it really starts the night before. If you go to bed late or you have trouble sleeping you won't want to get up. Here are some tips to wind down in the evening.
1. Stop watching television or other activities later in the evening and spend a few minutes writing a list of things you want to do the next day.
2. Avoid over eating, drinking caffeine or having sugar in the evening. It is helpful to have some protein before bed.
3. Drink a glass of water (don't go to bed thirsty)
4. Give your feet a massage with Almond or your favourite Oil. The feet have 72,000 nerve endings so by massaging your feet you're soothing your nervous system and organs.
5. You might try sleeping on your right side, this allows the left nostril to be more dominant during sleep which brings in calm energy. Check your posture, if you are sleeping on your side you can put a pillow between your knees, this takes pressure off your lower back.
6. Keep your room dark. If you are exposed to light between 1.00am and 3.00am your melatonin levels decrease and your biorhythms are thrown off balance.
7. Use Lavender Oil - put a few drops on your pillow.
8. Train your subconscious by practicing setting your mental clock when to wake up - (best to have a back up plan to start though)
9. Try Left Nostril Breathing before bed for a few minutes. Block off the right nostril with your right thumb and breath in and out through the Left Nostril.
