To get a good night sleep, I am currently doing these 15 things:

1. Writing in my gratitude journal every day.
2. Taking a newspaper diet: I am reading spiritually nourishing articles , writing in my journal, praying, meditating, and practicing gentle yoga stretches in the morning.
3. Being gentle on myself.
4. Focusing on the things I love and enjoy.
5. 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.
6. I write.
7. I cook and eat great food and enjoy nice wine in the evening.
8. I am present with my students, friends,colleagues, family, and other people I encounter throughout my day at the gym, grocery store, etc. 
9. I am relaxing more. 
10. I am trusting God.
11. I exercise my body.
12. I am focusing on simple, gentle, and sweet things 
13. Love is my guiding principle
14. If I catch myself in a negative thought pattern, I redirect my mind right away and focus on something I love.
15. 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.
