towards what you want to meet your best you
."
What drives you to be successful?
I am inspired to change the world and walk in the footsteps of my ancestors who give me the drive to move forward and not leave the world the way I found it but to make it better for the next generation. My parents always believe in hard work, consistency, discipline, and determination to achieve your goals. Use your pain as fuel to propel you to move towards what you want to meet your best you. What messages do you share with your audience and why is it important? I want people to live healthy: Mind, body, and spirit. I want to inspire you to take your health journey into your own hands and believe that your body has the power to heal itself. Which key lessons have you learned that have helped you to grow the most? In order for you to get what you want and become who you meant to be you must be willing to sacrifice who you are not. Do not listen to people that do not have your vision. You were created with a unique divine purpose you must go out and share your gift with the world.

How Meditation Helps
insomnia Rebecca Stacey
Insomnia simply is a chronic inability to sleep. I have had many restless nights with only a few hours of sleep. Many nights I would only get 3 or 4 hours of sleep. I tried everything to help me sleep. I tried things like Tylenol PM, mild nerve pills and was even tested for sleep apnea and had a breathing machine to use at night for the sleep apnea. That machine made me feel as if i could not get any oxygen. Insomnia can make you crazy after awhile. I was having a very difficult time breathing with it. I had to quit using the machine because it was so uncomfortable. I was getting very irritable from not sleeping so a friend told me how using mediation helped her. I went on the computer and found out many ways meditation helps people for many different problems. The first thing I learned is that having insomnia can also be a mind thing.
You can actually train your mind to go without sleep.I know that I think about the struggles I go through everyday and keep that on my mind so I cannot sleep well.
Through meditation I have learned to calm down, relax and know that getting so upset over things I cannot change will just make things worse. Now when I come home after an exhausting day, I don't let things bother me so much. I start my meditation in the morning before I left and again when I get home. In the morning, I get up about 30 minutes earlier than the rest of the family so I can have time to myself. I go into the kitchen, get a book I like or a newspaper, fix myself some coffee, and just meditate before I have to start my hectic day. When I come home at night, I know that with my insomnia I will have another restless night, so I start preparing for my night after I get supper cooked the dishes done and the kids to bed. For my meditation, at night I relax by listening to soothing music. I turn on a music channel on my television and just kick back and relax. I then get in a hot bathtub and sit there while the hot water soothes me. After I get out of the tub, I do not wait to go to bed. Since my body is now very relaxed, I go straight to bed. I have learned by staying awake
watching TV after I am so relaxed will only make it harder for me to sleep. Since I meditated while listening to comforting music and relieving my tension with a hot bath, why then get upset by watching television? I turn my fan on low, get under the covers, take some deep relaxing breaths, and go to sleep. I'm not saying that I'm cured and get 8 hours of sleep every night, but I can say that using meditation to relax has helped me at least get a couple of extra hours of sleep than I used to. My husband also turns on the clock radio to a jazz channel and leaves it on low all night to help him get some sleep. You have got to remember meditation is simply clearing your mind of thoughts that upset you. Once you have cleared your mind over whatever is bothering you, it will be to your benefit. Relaxing is the key to having a better day and night. So, find a meditation that will help you relax and enjoy the night. You are worth it and after all the things you do for everyone, you deserve to have a good night's sleep. Rebecca Stacey is a blogger and influencer.
