My little sister is now 40

" Estas son las mañanitas que cantaba el Rey David, a las muchachas bonitas se la cantamos asi. Despierta mi bien despierta mirad que ya amaneció ya los pajaritos cantan la luna ya se metió."


Today is Vanessa's 40th birthday. I remember when I was 14 when all of the sudden my grandma Hilda came to tell us. It's a girl. She is a doll!! She was born with highlight on her hair and she has always kept them. So today in celebration turning 40 I want to share the four steps to start your day off right by Robert Puff Ph.D


1. Get rid of the alarm: The first word alarm clock says it all. Alarm means to feel frightened, in fear or danger; terms not exactly evocative of peace of mind. In order to wake up in a gentle relaxed way, I suggest that  you replace your blaring alarm with beautiful, gentle spa-like music.


2. Drink water: Sleep has depleted your body of water. So in order to replenish your system drink water. Avoid other liquids like juice. It's pure and simple water that your body is craving.


3. Read something Inspirational: Even if it's just a few sentences of a couple of paragraphs, reading something uplifting and peaceful will send your mind in the right direction. You'll be focused positive, calming thoughts. If you ever wake up agitated from dreams that filled your sleep, a pleasant passage from the scriptures will reset your emotions. For that I got a nice copy to give you when I see you again.


4. Do a little yoga: A little yoga and stretching will prepare your body for a fabulous day.


Now I will add one more.


5. Pray: Now, find a peaceful place to sit or kneel folding your arms. Talk to your Heavenly Father as you would talk to any person and give thanks for a new day and all of your many blessings and ask for something if you want. This will prevent for your day to begin with worries and fears. In order to fill your sleep with relaxation, I also recommend that you pray before you go to sleep. Your morning and evening routine comes full circle. Starting with a peaceful calm, and relaxing morning will make a world of difference in terms of how you experience the rest of your day. When stress moment arise, remind yourself of the calm and well being that you experienced by praying.


Feliz Cumpleaños!
