I couldn't sleep last night. I was in my bed, Bodie was fast asleep (for once!), and yet I was wide awake. I couldn't relax my body. I felt so much tension and stress. Why? Well, I haven't done yoga in 4 days. I haven't meditated. I haven't made time to chill out. I've been working on my laptop until midnight for several nights in a row. No wonder I was so stressed!

A quick relaxation exercise, which I am about to share with you, combined with a little deep breathing and I was snoozing... like magic!

Don't Should on Yourself: Bad Moods Happen

Yesterday I finally got the baby down for a nap after he had refused to sleep for hours. I was so excited to relax, eat some lunch, and check my email when I knocked something over. The next thing I knew I was bleeding, I spilled my drink, and the baby was awake...

And I still hadn't eaten...

And the baby refused to go back to sleep...

And I was pissed!
