Sleeping beauty or beautiful

If God made day and night, I am sure he had some thoughts. He is giving a message that after 12 hours the body needs rest. He told the sun to move away and darkens the environment. At least then we can go to bed. But we are the most intelligent species on this earth. We invented light that was still ok. But then we very smartly invented smart phone with Wi-Fi. There goes our sleep down the drain. 

Today let me bring few ways to sleep well. You can stop complaining (I don’t get sleep)

How to sleep well?

1. Don’t sleep after meal

Your food needs to be digested before you sleep. So the body can enjoy the relaxation and also help the body heal in the sleep

2. Take shower

Water soothes the body. Take bath with luke warm water. As we all know over seventy percent of your body is actually water. If you run water over it, a certain purification happens which is beyond cleaning the skin.

3. Keep Things Aside 

Keep anything and everything that does not allow you to sleep.... Phone, worries, emotions etc.

4. Create a restful environment. 

Create an environment that soothes your mind and body. You can keep the room dark, light an organic lamp in the room, apply essential oil on forehead, behind ears etc.

5. Include physical activity in your daily routine

When our body is tired then we don’t struggle to sleep. Tired body makes you sleep the min you hit the bed

Hope this helps you sleep well.

1st week of May Fun and Learning

1st week of Fun and Learning in May.  Day 1  - Fun and learning started with playing game and listing down things we want to explore. Games are one way to build connection...it happens instantly even among the strangers.  Usually when children come to a session there is a readymade curriculum/list of activities which are planned. We had not planned any curriculum. We discussed and co created with children. We decided what to do this week.  The task was they had to list 5 things that they want to do and then convince others…. Sell their ideas to the whole group. Somehow we adults think we know more or we can plan better. We were surprised (as always) with the varied list of things children wanted to do. There was nothing stopping them…. even the barriers of having the session online. The list included Jokes, share knowledge, talk about likes/dislikes, drawing, play, dance, online games, craft, games, make your games, Craft, own crea...
