Relax...

---

"Sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care."  Easy for you, Shakespeare!

It's distressing to be completely exhausted and unable to relax and have a good night's sleep. The more you toss around the more stressed you become and the more you toss around. There are various ways that can help in preventing sleepless nights and it is worth learning about it. Is it? I know I have troubles to fall a sleep and eventually sleep. I can be awake for hours, and in the morning I get sleepy when I have to wake up. I always hate that.
Someone told me that quietly relaxing in the latter part of the evening is most helpful in preparing for a restful sleep. Exercise is stimulating and if done approaching bedtime, might put you in a wide awake state.

Trying to put yourself to sleep seems to have the opposite effect. Instead of clamping your eyes tight, try leaving them open to roam the room. Fixing them on an insignificant object can take even more pressure off. In many cases people don't need as much sleep as they think they do. If you consider that you could manage well with less, there will be less effort on trying to get to sleep. Removing the necessity will often relax you, make you feel better, and allow you to drift off. Anyway, your body tells you, how tired you are to fall a sleep. Maybe in time you are too tired to fall asleep, but eventually you do fall asleep.

When wide-eyed and thrashing about during the night, sometimes a change of scene and thoughts works. This can be helpful in salvaging a night's sleep: Get out of bed, have a wash, make a hot non-alcohol drink, and watch TV or read for awhile. I prefer some boring book....
Try to enjoy it and don't rush back. Often in a half to one hour drowsiness comes, with the mind cleared of whatever was buzzing in there. An hour lost from bed could very well be followed with a short but restful night's sleep.

Alcohol may help you to relax and go to sleep, but it is usually only short term, and the net result is less sleep overall. Most people find that taking nightcaps results in waking up at two or three in the morning, and an alcohol induced sleep is not usually a relaxed sleep.So, that's not such a marvellous idea, right?

Being free of constant stress and worry during the day and evening is pretty well a necessity for happy living, and for a good night's sleep. So try to establish a program to reduce your anxieties in life. 


So, good night and sleep well. :-)

"Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead."

Everyone says, "How the time flies." 

The days go by and they are years, and the years finally become our whole life. 

Each daily portion can be wasted, or it can be a pleasure, before it is gone forever. If a bedtime review of the day concludes that we were too stressed, too busy, didn't accomplish anything, didn't have any fun, then it has been another lost piece of precious life.

Perhaps we are putting off our enjoyment until we have more time, or money, or some other improved condition. The trouble with that is that it might never happen, or it may be too long in coming.  It's so important to accept this time, this very minute, as something of tremendous value that will very soon be gone forever. There are many ways to ensure that we make the best of our time here on earth.

In our daily routine let's include time to enjoy others and thus ourselves. Look and wonder at the trees, fields and mountains, smell the flowers, hear the birds, and watch the clouds in the sky.

"This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle; wonderful, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it." - Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)

Face your problems bravely, confidently, and improve on your situation, no matter what state it be in. Be good to feel good. Be active and improve your mind. Laugh, relax, and sleep well.

 At the end of today, if it has been preoccupied with thoughts of enjoyment that might be coming, we will find that we have lost something valuable that will be gone forever. Today!

In hoping to be happy about something in the future, instead of being happy right now, we are missing out. We often want more time, more money for that new purchase, a better job, better health. The list may be long.

This is such a waste because there are probably many things to feel really good about each day. Unfortunately we are encouraged to dwell on things that we have yet to acquire. If we were bombarded with daily reminders of how lucky we are and how much we have to be happy about, we would retire at night with wonderful days behind us.

"No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy the sunlight today, mix good cheer with friends today, then enjoy it. Do not look back on happiness or dream of it in the future. You are only sure of today; do not let yourself be cheated of it." - Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1878)

Our day should be free of other stresses and worries. An analysis of a bad event that has happened, or may happen, can be worthwhile in determining a course of action. Beyond that, to continue worrying about it is a completely useless waste of time and is harmful to our health. Worry does not help the future experience and could make it worse, and the past cannot be changed.

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could, some blunders and absurdities have crept in. Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day." - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

So enjoy yourself today because it is not coming back.

 

Attitude is everything!

Attitude is everything!

Whenever I started to think how life goes, I am always so-rounded with people who I love and care. For me and I for them.Standing beside me in bad and in good times. Wiping my tears from my face and loving me with all my mistakes I have them. 


I know I love my life. There are so many "down" things, but nevertheless, it is amazing. You know, and all we actually need is love. Nothing else. 


The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life itself.
Attitude to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. it is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. 
The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past....we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. 
We cannot change the inevitable! The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.
And so it is with you....we are all in charge of our Attitudes.

Tuesday morning....

Just thinking my mind of what to write in here? Hmmm....I decided to write some parts also in English, 'cos most of my friends are living all around the World. Today, it's just one ordinary Tuesday...outside sun is shining, birds are singing and me here by my computer. Just had my morning coffee and realized that I am over too much junkie for this coffee. I mean if I don't drink it I have headaches, I concentrate very bad and nothing isn't ok as it should me in "normal" life.

Then I start to thinking that everything starts and ends with coffee. If I go somewhere on a visit, well I drink coffee, If I go on a meeting, there's also coffee....it's really hard to imagine where coffee isn't present? 

This morning I was on a coffee with one of my best friends....we haven't seen for ages, so talking was so much more fun. We talked about everything. Family, husbands, children and most of all about us two. Sometimes, I think we are running through life so quickly that we totally forgot on our lives to stop and relax for a bit. 

We usually stop and look around us, when it is too late, or when something happens to us or our close ones.

We / I prefer this thing on women/ always make things so complicated....I wonder why? 

I mean if a man decides to do something or just to go out with friends they have a deal in 5 minutes. And that's it.

And for us? Oh my god! First we have to think who will we invite with us and why....that takes for like half to one hour of thinking...if not even calling other friends to ask them for opinion...

Then we eventually call our partner in having fun and then you have to at least three times hear each other when exactly will we meet and of course where...I don't mention also the question, who will drive and at least how the other one will be dressed. No way, to think that one! 

Then there is a phase what to wear....skirt, trousers, black, colours....I mean why do we have so many colours and patterns? It's like fashion is killing us really slowly and we don't even see that :-/

Of course when we finally get dressed we just hope that we will be looking absolutely gorgeous! And then there is a make up scene, which takes another half hour and picking up our perfect shoes ...well, we are ready to go on proximately and hour or more....depending if there is anyone around you and looking funny at your dress....

And I still wonder, why do we have to complicate so much? I mean, why don't we go in the movies in a sweat shirt and jeans and just having awesome time? Is that like genetic problem?? Or just problem of all women, all over the world....

Anyway, next time, I go out ... I am definitely going in a shirt and jeans and very little make up-which will take me only half and hours to put myself together :-))

April....april....

Ok, tukaj sem. :-) Da napišem malo tu in malo tam....po prepričevanjih prijateljev sem se le odločila da spacam tale blog stran in da natipkam nekaj besed.


Hmmm....ravno danes sem gledala film "Larry Crown" - že kdo gledal? Spektakularno! Super res...morate si ga ogledat. Ok, point je, da resnično ne smeš nikoli obupati, ne glede na to, kako težko ti je in da vedno se najde nekaj boljšega v življenju. Ampak samo iz druge perspektive. To je vse. Čeprav si to na začetku nikoli nisi želel. No, pa smo tu. Tu se tudi jaz. Vsake tolko časa se ustavim, pogledam malo nazaj preko rame in vidim, kako lepo, da sem tukaj kjer sem. Potem se zamislim, kako lepe stvari me verjetno še čakajo in da moram enostavno uživati. Ampak korak za korakom, pa gre.


O, ja uživam že - če ne drugače ko vzamem v roke novo knjigo in šelestijo strani za stranjo, ko je moja radovednost nepotešena in želim brati do zadnje vrstice v knjigi. Potem se seveda zvedam, kako pozna ura je že in da imam samo uro spanja, ampak vseeno je bilo spektakularno! :-)


Vsekakor pa ne smem zapostaviti, da sem vsak dan na svojem majcenem vrtu....pojem že takšne hvalnice, da bi si kdo mislil, da imam celo njivo pa eko kmetijo. Hja, you wish! Imam nekaj malega, da imam solato (katero skorajda merim z metrom kolko je zrasla) in pa peteršilj, špinačo, bučke, fižol in še sto drugih stvari, katere sem posadila. Hja, no, poleti bom verjetno lahko odprla tržnico :-))
Če ne druga, pa bomo vsak dan imeli zelenjavni dan, kar si pa sploh ne predstavljam od moje boljše polovice. Verjetno mi bo dal odpoved in me odslovil. :-)


Življenje je prekratko, da ga ne bi uživali in da ne bi vsak dan jemali z veliko žlico. Bodimo enostavno to kar smo - ljudje, pomagajmo drug drugemu in kmalu bomo videli, kako lepo in fino je naše življenje ter da je denar le naša osnovna življenjska dobrina, brez katere se da z osnovami čisto lepo preživeti. Samo miselnost moramo mi sami spremeniti in spoznati, da ni vse v dobrem in novem avtomobilu ter v gromozanski plači ter prilozovanje nadrejenim. Raje sem doma z motiko, grabljami in se ukvarjam z mojim vrtom. Iz njega vem, da mi bo nekaj zrastlo. Iz službenih sestankov, kjer smo vedno nekaj sejali, pa nikoli ni obradilo sadov. ;-)

Bodimo to, kar smo in živimo naše življenje kolikor lahko. Predvsem pa, ne pozabimo sami nase.
