What Is Natural?
It is natural to cry when you feel sad.
It is
natural to smile when you feel happy.
It is
natural to feel hungry when you need food.
It is
natural to feel tired when you need sleep.
When we feel afraid, bodies naturally produce adrenalin.
When we do
not get enough sleep, bodies naturally produce cortisol.
When we
exercise bodies produce endorphins.
When we eat
certain foods, we increase certain chemicals in the body.
Our bodies produce hormones or drugs naturally.
When we add
or change or imbalance our natural chemicals, bodies need to adjust.
With the
food we eat, the environment we live in and the drugs we take, we are altering
what is natural.
It is
important to understand how sensitive we are and how little we know about what
is natural.
I am not a scientist, chemist or physician.
I am a
conscious learner and pay attention to my own body.
I watch and
listen to people show what happens with their own bodies, thoughts and
emotions.
I know we
need to be more respectful of ourselves, our minds and our bodies and how they
work.
We all need enough sleep.
We are now
a sleep deprived nation, because we do not sleep enough.
We can
eliminate the effects of “cortisol” and lack of sleep by getting 7-9 hrs of
good sleep each night.
We can stop
the crazy making erratic emotional reactivity with good quality sleep every
day.
The need for sleep is essential for mind and body and
overall good health.
With enough
sleep we stay focused, make good decisions, easy learning, being alert and
aware.
Chemical
substitutes only make the reactivity and emotional outbursts worse.
People
learn to use drugs to stay awake and drugs to go to sleep.
For Your Consideration:
Rising
early and going to bed early.
Go to bed
when you are tired and get us when rested (with no alarm!)
No food at
least 2-3 hrs before bedtime. So your body has at least 12 hrs to clear your
digestive track.
Get up and
write everything on your mind, if you cannot sleep or wakeup early.
Give
yourself quiet time before bed. With no stimulants. Only soothing
activities.
No TV,
noise in the home when you go to bed.
Have your
bedroom clean and clear of anything that needs work or attention. (no TV in
Bedroom.)
Keep your
bedroom quiet, clear of clutter, beautiful, clean and welcoming.
Do not
argue, talk on the phone or text while in bed. (or watch TV)
Take Melatonin
sublingual just before bedtime. Natural sleep aid.
Seek what
soothes you, ie. music, meditation, reading before you go to sleep.
Yes I am suggesting that you treat yourself like a child you
are gently putting to sleep.
Sweet
Dreams!!

Keys to Health & Vitality
Betty Lue Lieber, 1994
NUTRITION
Ingest the best and forget the rest.
Take into your body, mind and spirit only that which
supports, sustains and inspires the BEST in you.
MOVEMENT
Life is flow.
To move with the flow is healthy.
To resist is stressful.
Move with the natural inner movement physically,
emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc.
BREATH
To breathe in (inhale) fully life energy, Spirit, Prana,
inspiration, is to expand our awareness to open to an enlightened mind.
To exhale fully is to truly release what is no longer
needed.
TOUCH
Reaching out with Love and respect for each other opens
our bodies and beings to trust in the gentleness we all deserve to experience.
THOUGHT
Choose for those thoughts which heal and free you to be
unlimited in health and wholeness.
Forgive (erase) the beliefs which are limiting or false.
ATTITUDE
Carry with you an attitude of gratitude and love for
yourself and others.
Allow yourself to see all things work together for
good.
BALANCE
Moderation in all things will bring your life into
harmony.
As we give ourselves what is really best for us, the
extremes are gently released.
HEALTH
What you perceive in others and the world you strengthen
in your Self.
Focus on illness, disease and weakness and you actually
weaken yourself.
See only health and wholeness and you move yourself in
the direction you are looking.
PURITY
To clear out toxins and purify the system requires a
willingness to eliminate toxic thoughts, activities, relationships as well as
foods from your system. Flushing the system clean is aided with water,
fresh air, gentle movement and forgiveness.
REST
To rest and relax your mind and body are invaluable to
being refreshed and revitalized.
Each person has unique
methods of relaxation - meditation, music, being in nature, focused simple
activity.
