Do you want to take time to get in touch with yourself, your feelings, your dreams, and a good, healthy life? Here are some tips:
36. Sometimes it seems as if our culture has begun to view the need for sleep as a sign of weakness. But your body was genetically(基因地) programmed to spend a third of its life on sleep, and this affects thinking, memory, growth, your immune(免疫的) system and even your weight.
Begin the day in thankfulness. 37 Name each person and hold them in your thoughts. The sense of thankfulness you experience will set a peaceful tone for the entire day, and reduce a day's stress that can lead to sleeplessness that night.
Strike a balance. 38. Think about tai chi, prayer, yoga(瑜伽)—any daily activity that allows you to develop a peaceful center and a sense of balance.
Play with friends. The "tend and be friend studies", as they are called, conducted by UCLA researcher, Shelly Taylor, Ph.D. indicate that when women are stressed, they tend to their children and play with other women. 39
Use guided imagination. 40 The tone of your voice, pacing, music, and pictures will persuade your nervous system that it's time to calm down.
A. Admit the importance of sleep.
B. The images of things make the brain see and think about other things.
C. Emotions are the basis of good communications and healthy relationships.
D. Calming down a stressed nervous system will encourage a balanced life.
E. Take 10 minutes every morning to give thanks to everyone in your life.
F. Recent research has also linked the importance of sleep to behavior.
G. Studies reveal(揭示) that women who have healthy relationships with their children and friends actually sleep better.
