Sleep makes everything in life easier.

Years ago, a doctor told me, "If you're not sleeping well, you can't be well."

That's quite a bit of pressure! The last thing I want to think about when I'm in bed is feeling stressed about falling asleep.

But guess what? Today's podcast guest, Holistic Sleep Coach Morgan Adams, shared a tip that has helped me fall asleep faster.

She explained the research behind creating a list of "concerns and actions" and writing it down about 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. Studies show that this simple act of putting your stress on paper helps lower stress hormones, allowing your body to sleep more soundly.

I also appreciate the part of this exercise where I outline my action plan for addressing my stressors.

I've listened to this episode three times, and each time I learn something new. My sleep is improving after years of complaining about it!

Why am I so excited to make gift guides each year?

I know holiday gifting can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a chance to spread joy and make memories that last.

Gift ideas for GALS WHO LOVE A LITTLE SELF CARE:

Mate The Label: Once I realized how toxic workout wear was, I made the switch. I’d rather have two pairs of low-tox leggings than nine pairs of the plastic crap.

Bon Charge Sauna: People ask me how I can stay so active at 60. Yep, I have aches and pains, especially after a hard surfing session. The first place I head after a tough workout? Straight to my PEMF mat. This is the one I use.

Dwell: I start my day with inspiration from the Bible. Dwell makes it easy. While I make coffee, I listen to 2-3 minutes of encouraging and practical wisdom. It helps me stay calmer and focused when things go haywire later.
