Sleep more! Doesn’t that just sound like the anti-resolution?

Not in my book. I find it incredibly difficult to “find” the time to get enough sleep. and yet, I am getting every more aware that I MUST make it a priority if I want to remain productive — and healthy.

Which makes me wonder why in the world I’m typing this at 2:30 in the morning?

So much for that one. But now, I haven’t REALLY officially resolved it, and messing with my sleeping patterns is always a bit of an ongoing struggle.

The thing is sometimes I’m more alert and awake late at night than I am at other times of the day, and it seems like such a waste to not take advantage of it.

Meanwhile, once I do go to sleep I tend to sleep like a baby (or a log), which I suppose is a good thing. It wasn’t always like that.

A few years back, I had a huge problem with insomnia. I threw all sorts of things at it, from herbs to aromatherapy to soothing music and even the occasional prescription drugs, and STILL had trouble.

One thing that finally fixed it, literally overnight, was the Mind-Body-Spirit meditation from the Quantum Touch Supercharging workshop I took. I literally fell asleep lying on the floor, in the middle of the meditation exercise we did in that course. Twice! How embarrassing.

But I figured I was on to something. when I did the meditation that night after going to bed, I never made it half-way through before I went to sleep. And when I woke up in the night, I just continued where I left off, and zzzzzzzzzz

It still works. On the rare (very rare) occasion that I make it all the way through, I just start over, and I don’t think I ever made it through twice without falling asleep.

Oddly enough, I can do the meditation with my eyes open during the day and it will NOT make me fall asleep, so I even do it sometimes while going for walks. It has a wonderfully energizing effect then.

How does it work?

You can find out the details in the Supercharging Quantum Touch book by Alain Herriot (sp?)

Basically, you visualize yourself being bathed and literally soaked in a series of 12 colors, from white to purple, indigo, copper, silver, gold, yellow, green, blue-green, blue, magenta and mother-of-pearl. There’s also a special breathing pattern, but I never mastered it and simply do slow breathing while I do the exercise.

You can get the more detailed instructions in the book or on the workshop video, which you can order form quantumtouch.com.

Meanwhile, it’s now 2:51 and defninitely time to catch some zzzzzs.

And as for my resolution… I’m working on it. Getting at least 7 hour of sleep a night, at least most nights, is the first stage of my resolution. Then work on getting to bed earlier and making my hours more regular. Update sometime in spring…

How are YOUR resolutions coming along?

I can’t believe we’re already into the second week of 2010! And I haven’t even gotten started with New Year’s Resolutions.

Of course, I have my different spin on that, and I’m going to write a few posts on that over the next week or two…

First of all… the traditional approach to New Year’s Resolutions doesn’t usually work and if anything is counterproductive.

When it comes to carrot vs stick, I’m all for the carrot. The idea is to focus on what we want and not punishing ourselves for our real or imagined short-comings.

One thing I will do is go back through that program by Jason that helps tremendously with overcoming some habits I’d like to live without.

It’s what you’ll find out more about when you go to the following site:

http:;//www.turboselfgrowth.com

And especially http:;//www.turboselfgrowth.com/go

But go to the http:;//www.turboselfgrowth.com first because you’ll discover an offer where you can get it for almost half off…

And as I wrote in an article last year, I’m much more in favor of “New Year’s Projections” thank “New Year’s Resolutions.”

What is it that you would like to visualize for yourself?

As for me, I’d like a steadily growing business, books, courses with lots of students in them, happy clients, and a healthy body too, preferably with less weight on it.

And so one of the things I’ll be working on next year is a special low-aggravation system of releasing some of those extra pounds.

I’m going to call it Kitchen Sink Diet — not because it involves eating over the kitchen sink or because I get to eat everything but the kitchen sink, but because I’m going to plough through everything I can find out there that might be helpful and then put it together in to an “everything but the kitchen sink” diet plan of sorts.

Though diet is a misnomer. It’s more about adding things than subtracting things, though hopefully certain detrimental food stuffs will be crowded out by the good stuff… Much like what Jon Gabriel advocates in his Gabriel method.

In fact, one of the things on my to do list is to a) start listening to his audio again regularly (I’ve been slacking off) and b) get his newly available special Smart Music audios that put you in a smart state instantly and are great for starting the day off with. Can’t wait to get them and will report back once I have startd using them.

Enough for now. More on New Year’s Resolutions and related matters very soon.

And may YOU have a fantastic 2010 as well.

2009 was a toughie, and so a lot of us are REALLY looking forward to 2010!

And it’s time to look ahead to make the most of it right out of the gate, isn’t it?

So whether or not Santa brought what you were hoping for, here are a couple of things you may want to get for yourself:

First of all… A FREE Gift!

A 5-course e-course on how to get rid of bad habits:

http://www.turboselfgrowth.com

Check it out, and if you like, you can get a very special deal on the full course, which makes a fantastic gift for anyone who would like to finally overcme whatever it is that has been holding them back.

Of course, you’re welcome to check it out right here:

It’s an audio course with a transcript so you can take notes and review more easily.

And if you click on the banner right below, you’ll get the FREE e-course!

I promise you’re going to love it. In fact, I’m going to dig out my own copy and work my way back through the audios…

And if it’s time management that’s getting you down, you should see this revolutionary approach to mastering time once and for all:

By the way… this one goes REALLY well with the course above… And, here’s a little secret:

If you get the course above AFTER you sign up for the newsletter, you can get it for 45% off (if you take advantage of the special offer you’ll get after you sign up for the newsletter) AND you’ll also be able to get the time course for 45% off… so you could get BOTH of them for only a little more than one of them would be…

So why not start here…

These will REALLY help with achieving a very happy 2010!

And… they also make fantastic gifts! Which reminds me of my friend Stefan whose birthday is today. He was always frustrated that his parents would combine Christmas gifts and birthday gifts… but then again, he always had US come on his birthday and bring him MORE gifts too.

I’m gong to give him a call today!

Have a fantastic day and a GREAT 2010!
