Here are tips to help you navigate these in between times:
- Rest. If you don't know what's happening, you may as well rest up and save your strength for when you do know what to do.
- Sleep. One of the best ways to clear a muddled mind is to let it sleep and wash itself of worry and confusion.
- Follow this doggie's example. Cuddle up and cover your head.
- Read an enlightening book. Look for inspiration in the best places and from the best people you can find.
- Light a candle. Focus on one of the fundamental elements. A little flame is sure to light your way.
- Say a prayer of thanks (because you're safe and warm). Prayer and gratitude help in ways that none of us can imagine.
- Dream. Because you can.
- Listen to J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations. Bach wrote them to help Count Kaiserling soothe his insomnia.
- Remember that darkness is temporary. Like everything else.
- Drink Ginger Tea. It's yummy.
- Grab your lavender essential oil. The "Swiss Army Knife" of essential oils, it's your go-to oil for calming and relaxation. Ask me to help you learn more or buy it here.
- Serenity blend essential oil is always at my bedside. I diffuse it, put drops on the soles of my feet, and inhale directly to help me soothe myself and relax in times of stress. Ask me to help you learn more or buy it here.
"It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness."
