I sit at the computer for hours. My eyes burn, my neck and shoulders tighten, and brain fog and fatigue settle in.

Do you lay in bed trying to fall asleep, and your mind will not relax? Repeating a simple affirming phrase as a sleep mantra stops negative thoughts, relaxes your mind, and allows you to focus on positive emotions.
Do you hop out of bed at the sound of your alarm and grab your phone to check email or social media? Do you watch TV or work on the computer or phone until bedtime, then fall into bed, tired but wired? Find out how to improve your day when you bookend your day.
I stare at the ceiling, breathe deeply, and try to relax. At 3:15 AM, negative thoughts swirled around in my wide-awake brain. Fears of being old and alone haunted me nightly. One sleepless night, I searched the psalms for comfort. I found Psalm 121, where I found out God never sleeps on the job.
