Exercise and Insomnia
Regular physical activity is a wonderful prescription for insomnia.
However, one sweat session on the treadmill is not likely to lead to better sleep that night. Researchers have found that, though effective, exercise is a long-term treatment for insomnia.
Exercise can help you sleep longer and more soundly, plus feel more awake during the day. People who are physically fit also have
better quality sleep.

Direction
You control the direction of your life.
Only your intention limits you from achieving your fullest capacity.
Since changes in behavior generally precede changes in attitude, action directed toward your vision will increase your sense of purpose and belief in the possibility of success.

Switch
Research suggests that years of eating the usual Western fare may affect the
area of the brain that regulates metabolism. Specifically, it confuses the
messaging system, so that you may not be able to accurately assess things like
hunger, appetite and fullness.
The good news is, there are ways to overcome it. For one, omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in fish, may help regulate those changes. Adding fish, flax seed, nuts and soybeans to your diet is a good place to start.
Taper your use of artificial sweeteners and start eating more fruits and vegetables to keep your blood sugars stable. Adopting a healthy diet high in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains and low in healthy carbohydrates, saturated fats, and sodium can retrain the brain. Exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management help cut cravings too.

Say
- Say what you need to say.
- Speak your truth.
- There is no greater sadness than holding on to the words you never had the courage to speak.
