OK so after
the last few days we covered the preparation stage, the perfect morning,
the perfect afternoon and the perfect training session.
Last on our list is the perfect evening.
This can be where a lot of people come undone, but not you.
Not today.
You've completed a perfect day so far so why come all this way and let
it all go to waste now?
Another long day comes to an end and it's time for a little ME time.
Another long day comes to an end and it's time for a little ME time.
- You get home and you're pretty happy with your day but now it gets even easier because you've already cooked up your dinner options for the week so pop one of them in the oven or microwave and heat it up.
- While you wait for dinner, have a shower.
- Turn on the TV or the computer and have some "me" time. Even better catch up on some reading you've been meaning to do for a while!
- You can have some "screen time' for a little while but as soon as you're done with TV or the laptop device, turn it off and be done with it - screen time close to bed can affect your sleep a lot more then you think!
- The clock ticks on 10:00pm and it's time to prepare for bed.
- Turn off all appliances
- Put on some soothing music and go through a simple 10 minute stretching routine easing into each stretch and performing 5 belly breathes for each one. Breathe in deeply through the nose and exhaling fully out the mouth
- Set your alarm for an early get up and repeat!!
A this point you should have no problems falling off to sleep. Our body has been trained, as well as our mind, and we've completed that we had planned to for the day. The stretching routine has put your mind at ease as well as putting our body in a parasympathetic state, with a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate, putting in peak sleep mode.
Tomorrow we'll wrap it all up!
