So you’re probably wondering why this week’s blog came so late…I’m sure your whole day was thrown off in the absence of your inspiration for the week. Just kidding! But seriously, I am sending this in the evening because I want to know what your brain is having for dinner!
Last week, we talked about breakfast for the brain – consuming the right mental foods to power you through your day. I mentioned that your subconscious mind is most receptive first thing in the morning and just before you drift off to sleep at night. That means that you should be feeding your mind the perfect midnight snack before you head to bed.
Your subconscious mind is at work even while you sleep – creating solutions, integrating new information, and developing plans. So once again, we’re focusing on feeding your mind the most nutrient rich things we can find.
So, I’m giving you the ultimate midnight mind snack:
-1 part prayer/meditation
-1 part gratitude journaling (listing things you’re grateful for and reflecting on them)
-1 part visualization of the next day
-1 part reading/listening to uplifting content (books, songs, audio books, etc)
Place ingredients in mind and blend. Serves 1. Enjoy one serving daily.
This midnight snack is calorie free and won’t affect your waistline! Restful sleep is enhanced by ending the day with gratitude and positive thoughts. Continue to focus on the things you love and enjoy the sweet dreams!
Inspired Journaling Prompt: Create an ideal midnight mind breakfast for yourself. Write about how your life will be positively affected when you implement this routine.
Inspired Action: Give the new recipe a test run tonight (or tomorrow night)! Get a notebook to keep at your bedside for writing your gratitude journal entries – simply make a list of 5 things you’re grateful for and spend time dwelling on each and how blessed you are. A positive mental state tonight will set you up for success tomorrow!
