Do you Struggle with Getting Enough Sleep?

Hello!

How are you?

I’m feeling great today. Mostly because I’ve had a good night’s sleep.

I’ve been paying attention to my sleep quite a bit since the beginning of the year.

Adults need seven to eight hours of sleep every night and teens need nine, yet studies show that far too many people don’t get the sleep they need.

At least 35% of American adults get less than seven hours of sleep each night, and a whopping 97% of teenagers don’t get the nine hours they need.

A lack of sleep compromises your performance at work and can contribute to serious health problems – including obesity and diabetes.

If you struggle to get enough sleep, a soothing bedtime routine can help.

Here are three important components of a good routine

I wonder, which might you incorporate into your evenings. Comment and let me know.

3 Tips to Stop Stressing Over The Things That Are Out Of Your Control

,

You are probably familiar with the Serenity Prayer: 
“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”
This prayer, written in the early 1930s by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, contains deep wisdom.

Don’t believe in God? No problem. Just take out “God grant me” and replace with “I embody” and it becomes a powerful affirmation.
It’s the sentiment that’s important here.

It’s pointless to waste energy struggling against things that are out of your control, but it’s equally pointless to sit around and do nothing about things you can change.

Unfortunately – this is why it’s a prayer – this advice can be easier said than done.

Do you Overthink?

Do you Overthink?

, ,

In the last 23 years working with singers there’s one thing I see getting in their way that has NOTHING to do with the vocal instrument, musicianship, or performance. 

It’s overthinking. 

Overthinking has two main forms:

ruminating about the past and…

worrying about the future.

Because overthinkers spend so much time in the past and the future,

they rarely spend time in the only place where they can take useful action:

the present.

5 Tips to Strengthen Your Child’s Emotional Health and Happiness

,

Nurturing your child’s emotional health is essential for happy, healthy kids. During the formative years of childhood, emotional health and identity are largely shaped. Their sense of well-being as well as their physical and cognitive growth may be negatively affected if this foundation is not properly established.

Three main factors play an essential role in how well kids can manage their emotions, gain perspective, and develop resilience.

These factors include having close relationships with their parents, receiving appropriate parenting, and having strong social and emotional skills.

When parents are a source of warmth and unconditional love, kids usually develop a positive attitude toward life.

How can you strengthen your child’s emotional health? These tips can help:

1.Spend time with your kids.
2. Train your children to be “fluent at feelings.”
3. Avoid labeling your children when you discipline them.
4. Encourage them to think positively.
5. Let them know it’s okay for life to be difficult sometimes.
