Sleep is essential, not a choice. Take care of your body.

Jeremiah 31:26 
"It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep."
 Acts 12:6
"Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me."

During this COVID Pandemic, I am talking with so many people about their sleep. Some are not experiencing peaceful and refreshing sleep, or worse, not sleeping at all. Many are tense. They are now working from home and not having that leave the office experience. So, people are working late into the hours, or around the clock. We lay in bed and work from our phones. We take our computer to the table to eat our meals. We have to stop! We have to pay attention to our bodies.  I hope this little video helps.

On the other hand if you deal with "Abandonment" issues you my have had trouble sleeping your entire life. If you missed yesterday's RPMDaily you will want to go back and listen to it. I have had problems most of my life getting to sleep. I don't go into deep sleep until I have finally fallen asleep and began to relax. Once relaxed I fall into deep sleep and dream. Unfortunately that means, I need more sleep than others. I go to deep sleep around 5 AM and sleep sound until 7:30 or 8AM if allowed. I wear a mouth guard during certain seasons in my life because I clinch or grind my teeth. I never realized I did this until my dentist noticed and then I developed ringing in my ears. The ringing was so severe I went to an ENT doctor. For those of you that know me--I don't do doctors. I usually just handle things with God. He takes great care of me, but I don't take the best care of myself.

The body is the Temple of God. As we age thing show up. We need to be actively paying attention to our bodies. This includes relaxing and even learning new techniques to sleep better and getting enough rest.

I carried a lot of stress being the first born of five. Especially, after my mother left. I am only learning now in my sixties, how my childhood adversely affected me. If you need help let me know, or let someone like your pastor know, and they can help you; or refer you to someone who can. 

I believe in you and you need to believe in yourself.

ACTION STEP: Enjoy the video. Pay attention to the signs you are experiencing in your body. Love your body and take care of it, less you be evicted. There is an answer for every problem on earth. His name is Jesus. The Word of God is full of wisdom and insight. That wisdom sometimes come through people. So, don't be afraid to reach out for help. Sometimes, just talking to someone can help. Praying with someone of like precious faith can be a great source of comfort and revelation. 

You and God have got this!
I believe in you! Now, believe in yourself!
