Control Your Day - Lesson 1
It actually starts from the night before. It is important to take a proper sleep. Without it, you’ll feel burned out, take poor decisions, and make mistakes.
Now, to have a better sleep -
Have a regular sleep schedule. If you can’t sleep before 10, go to bed after that. But have a regular time, like around 11 PM. Follow it regularly, if not daily. I usually sleep for 6-7 hours irrespective of whether it is weekend, workday or holiday.
Consider your bed, only a place to sleep. If you work from bed (like me), you might face problems in getting a proper sleep. But you can associate your sleeping schedule with other rituals. Putting away the laptop and other items can signal your subconscious it's time to sleep.
Have a routine before sleeping. Drinking a glass of water by bed, taking a walk, or changing into a dress for the night can all help you in getting a good night’s sleep. Also, if you feel sleepy while reading, do that at night. :P
And the most important… have the intention to sleep.
Also, if you’ve goals to accomplish, write the questions and thoughts you have. Get them off your head before you go to sleep. While sleeping, your subconscious will work to find the solutions. It will do the wandering. Then jot down the thoughts as you wake up while they’re still fresh.
Begin your day with meditation in a quiet place.
