Have you ever spoken about how little sleep you’ve gotten and how you’re managing to push through the exhaustion with pride, as though lack of sleep is a badge of honor?
While we’ve been programmed to believe that the less we sleep, the more we’ll get done because we’ll be awake more hours, the opposite is actually true.
The more we sleep, the more we get done.
Why? Because your body does miraculous things while you’re sleeping that make you an information-retaining, memory-organizing, hormone-synthesizing, stress hormone-releasing machine.
If you’re regularly sacrificing your sleep so you can log more hours at your computer, get exercise, binge-watch a show, or for any other reason that’s within your control (unlike waking up with small children or someone who’s sick is), then you need to listen up.
Our culture’s tendency to celebrate lack of sleep is incredibly problematic.
It’s problematic for your health, your relationships, and your productivity.
If you want to feel happier, feel more connected (to others, to yourself, and to the Divine), to be healthier, and get more done in less time, watch the video below to learn just how dangerous not sleeping is, and what you can do about it…plus the amazing benefits you’ll get from making it a priority!
What’s your relationship with sleep like? Do you sleep a little or a lot? What’s one thing you learned from the video that you can take action on to prioritize sleep immediately?
I don’t know if you also have this problem, but I used to use my to-do list as a holding place for everything I could think of that I should or could do, ever. I thought that putting everything in my brain on paper would help quell my anxiety, but instead it only made it…
Do you wait until the last minute to ask for help, so you either don’t get your needs met or you do, but you’re left feeling frazzled and irritated? I used to do the same thing. I would end up with a crying kid in my arms at 6pm with no food in the fridge,…
You’re incredibly talented. You’re incredibly capable. You’ve got a lot of skills. But here’s the problem with someone like you who can do a lot of things: You tend to do too much. Am I right? If you’re feeling overwhelmed, or like you don’t have enough time, or exhausted (or all three), there’s a 99.9%…
I’m just going to come right out and say it: Rushing is a way of keeping yourself small. Being late is a way of dimming your power. Chaos around time keeps you stuck. You may be fantasizing that the only way you’re going to be able to get out of your cycle of never having…
Oh my stars. We have all been taught to work so darn hard to get what we want. And listen, I was raised with an excellent New England work ethic (with some Pittsburgh and Buffalo roots deep under that), and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty hauling away, splitting firewood with an…
I’m so excited to share something we’ve been working on behind the scenes that’s finally ready for you! If you’re ready to get off the “I’m so busy” train, THIS is for you. It’s a sneak peek inside my forthcoming book, Do Less: A Revolutionary Approach to Time and Energy Management for Busy Moms. Presenting…the…
I don’t spend much time worrying about losing the things that matter to me. Because I’d rather spend time loving them while I have them. (Even when I’ve lost someone I love, I never looked back and thought to myself, “I wish I would have spent more time worrying about losing them.” Nope. I was…
Over the last 7 years, my blog has turned into a real business even though I had no idea what I was doing when I first got started. One that makes money monthly and supports the goals that I set for myself. During those 7 years, I’ve made some wrong turns, had some significant wins,…
Believe it or not, I’ve struggled with feeling like I’m not smart enough or original enough to be super successful in business. And I’ve let the fear that what I have to say isn’t valuable hold me back many times over the years. No matter where we are on the trajectory of our businesses or…
