To get a good night sleep, I am currently doing these 15 things:
- Writing in my gratitude journal every day.
- Taking a newspaper diet: I am reading spiritually nourishing articles , writing in my journal, praying, meditating, and practicing gentle yoga stretches in the morning.
- Being gentle on myself.
- Focusing on the things I love and enjoy.
- Remind myself often that each moment is new and fresh. I am not tied to the past and if I fret about the future I lose sight of all the good things I have now.
- I write.
- I cook and eat great food and enjoy nice wine in the evening.
- I am present with my students, friends,colleagues, family, and other people I encounter throughout my day at the gym, grocery store, etc.
- I am relaxing more.
- I am trusting God.
- I exercise my body.
- I am focusing on simple, gentle, and sweet things
- Love is my guiding principle
- If I catch myself in a negative thought pattern, I redirect my mind right away and focus on something I love.
- I work on appreciating everything.
Thank you all for taking the time to read and follow The Warm Milk Journal. I wish you peace and a restful night of sleep tonight.

Published May 14, 2010 | Things to let go before we retire tonight:
- The events of the day. They are now in the past. Tomorrow is another day. Let today go.
- The extra pounds we are fretting about on our bodies. They are there for now- but don’t have to be forever. We can do our best tomorrow to drink more water, eat healthier, and move more. We are lucky to have our beautiful bodies that do so much for us. Accept our bodies and let the perfect image we think we should be go.
- Things that are irritating us. Breathe. Be present. Focus on something that pleases us: a pet or child’s sweet loving face, our garden, a sunset etc. and breathe. Let things that are bugging us go.
- Any negative thoughts we have about ourselves or others. Tell yourself “cancel!” and let it go.
- Let things or people or events be without our judging or critiquing them. Let judgments go.
