Counting Sheep!

 


Its back my insomnia.. I wonder if I have an undelaying worry that's causing it? I can't think of anything in particular altho' things aren't great between my daughter and myself... she is so busy, she had no time for anything, even to phone, or as my aunty used to say, 'No time to even spit.' 
And my middle son who had a heart attack and then a triple bypass, three years ago, isn't hundred percent and that's a worry. 
Dh has admitted he is worried about my being over weight and truth be told, I am myself.. so that's in my mind too.

Our over eating last week has righted itself and we're right back on plan, and today because it was so bitterly cold, we walked up and around the Coop aisles in town, and with my 10 mins indoor exercise. I feel I've made an effort and I've eaten lettuce. So I must lose at least 7 pounds this Friday!!

I don't think you ever stop worrying about your children even when they are grown up. Hope the sleeping improves soon

Worry can definitely keep a person from sleeping well. Sorry to hear that you're having this issue again right now. Please be careful how quickly you lose that weight, it's not always safe.

I find that when I have a lot weighing on my mind it messes with my sleep. I've been up since about 4.30 this morning. I woke up, started thinking and then couldn't sleep. Sigh. I hope you have a restful night soon!

I get myself back to sleep with a soothing audiobook or boring podcast played through cozy headphones. I'm usually gone in 10 minutes.
Sometimes writing down the worries, and saying firmly 'I've parked these until the morning' before determinedly turning my mind to something really nice - a place, a memory- works.

Life brings strife. I wish the sleeplessness didn’t go with it. Take care!

I think most of us can relate to a busy mind and a restless night. They say meditation helps although I've never been able to stick with it long enough to know.

Anything that relieves stress, even if just for a short time, is worthwhile.

Insomnia is brutal. I read the Bible for 15 minutes before falling asleep. I have one low acid coffee a day, not too late in the day. I hope you find sweet sleep tonight.

Sometimes it's hard to quiet our minds. My husband always tells me to just think boring thoughts. :)

I'm sorry to hear about the insomnia being back again. It seems like you have a number of concerns that may be playing on your mind. On the positive, well done for getting back on plan. I hope it pays off on Friday and in the meantime that you get some better sleep. Take care of yourself and stay safe.
