Do these ten things today to sleep restfully tonight

Published June 8, 2012 | By Debra

Our Mission here at The Warm Milk Journal is:

To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.

A basic premise underlying this mission is that how well we live our days are going to affect the quality of sleep we enjoy at night.

To sleep restfully tonight, I offer you these ten suggestions:

1. Write a gratitude list in your journal today.

2. Exercise

3. Get outside at some point today.

4. Do something silly, just for fun.

5. Do one thing on the top of your to do list that you think is essential. Once you do it, cross it off and do not worry about it again.

6. Call a parent or longtime friend whom you haven’t spoken to in a while (texting or Facebook does not count).

7. Write in your prayer journal or post something on your prayer board.

8. Sit and be still and quiet.

9. Drink plenty of water with lemon today up until 6:00 pm.

10. Get rid of ten things from your closet or drawers that no longer delight you.

In Peace,

Debra

Creating a Prayer Board (I recommend doing one on Pinterest)

Published June 2, 2012 | By Debra

We have talked about keeping a prayer journal. Another great way to connect to God and our spiritual lives is to create a prayer board. A prayer board is a visual representation of our values, our beliefs, our hopes, our desires, the things we need help with, etc.

You can use a scrapbook, any kind of poster board, or even online. There are vision board programs out there and there is of course, Pinterest which I think is the perfect medium for creating your prayer board.

On Pinterest you can “pin” anything you want. It can be a scripture, a spiritual quote, and image that has meaning for you. You can get inspired from other people’s boards. There are some beautiful things posted on Pinterest.

I have started a prayer board on Pinterest and I find it to be a very relaxing, centering, and affirming activity. It puts me in touch with the good things in my life. I highly recommend it.
