Have you ever slept like a baby. . .
Most of us do
W H I C H
is not always as peaceful as we would choose;
NO
we may not wake up
needing to be fed
or changed
but. . .
They tell us we should sleep like a baby
well, I don’t know about you
but as a baby I didn’t sleep so well
sometimes I still don’t
. . .NOW
don’t get me wrong
I’m the first guy who’s head hits the pillow
asleep within moments
literally
in fact when listening to music at night
I usually don’t make it through the first song
BUT
staying asleep
that might be a different matter
and then getting back to sleep after you wake up that might be a whole Nother matter to because once your mind starts wandering or racing or thinking or having that monkey mindedness about it, it’s like somebody shakes the snow globe of your mind and for whatever time you have left before you get up well the snow globe never settles does it.
SO
what’s the cure
because finding that cure
would be a gazillion-billion-dollar business
but most often it doesn’t come
in the form of a pill
it’s not a honey-thickend-nectar
that you can drink
it is certainly not some magic potion
you just need to rub on a certain spot
on your body. . .
Do you count sheep.
Say the alphabet ~~backwards.
Pray.
Count your blessings.
Meditate.
Breathe exercises or ___________________
well, you fill the in the blank
which often stays blank. . .
WHAT’S YOUR GO TO. . .
Maybe it’s not so much
what gets you to sleep
or what keeps you to sleep
but what allows you to rest
when you’re not asleep. . .
ANSWER ME THAT
and it’ll give a new meaning to
