I love to write lists. It is an enjoyable and relaxing activity. If you are having difficulty sleeping I recommend getting up and writing some lists in your journal. While you are writing your mind will be so focused on your lists that you will forget that you were struggling with insomnia. Soon enough you will get sleepy again.

Three  list ideas for today: your favorite places, places you would like to visit for the first time, and a list for Santa 

My ten favorite places in the whole world:

1. My home
2. Atlantic Beach, Florida
3. The island of Oahu, my childhood home
4. Seattle, Washington
5. Switzerland
6. British Columbia
7. Stockholm, Sweden
8. San Diego, California
9. Disney World
10. Universal Islands of Adventure

Ten places I look forward to visiting one day:

1. Asheville, North Carolina
2. Italy
3. Spain
4. Africa
5. Washington, D.C.
6. Kauai
7. Maui
8. Paris, France
9. The Netherlands
10. Turkey
