Early bird gets the anxiety

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

I go to bed when I’m sleepy and wake up when I’m ready. Typically about 7 hours of sleep on average. It does no good to snooze unless you can get a full sleep cycle which is typically 90 minutes. I don’t set an alarm unless I have to be somewhere. Currently I’m waking up around 6 am.

Find your secret place

How do you practice self-care?

Drugs, alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine; all these things are not helpful. The best thing you can do for yourself is be alone with yourself and your thoughts. Get rid of those thoughts that are negative. Focus on the ones that are positive stay in the moment be mindful of the “living force” as Qui-Gon used to say.

Make sure you get enough sleep, get some sunlight first thing in the morning, and eat good foods. And don’t forget to exercise.

Find your secret place where you can quiet your mind to pray and meditate on the one true God. Thank him for the saving grace and common grace that he extends to you every day.
