I’ve been talking a lot about mindfulness recently because of its effect on both your results and wellness …And I can’t NOT talk about its impact on your sleep. You probably already know that not getting enough sleep can affect your mood, appetite, focus, productivity, performance, health, and even your waistline. But get this… Mindfulness meditation has been shown to cut the wake time of people suffering from insomnia by up to 50%.
How mind-blowing is that?
Mindfulness meditation can be as simple as sitting quietly with your eyes closed for 5-10 minutes, focusing on your breath, or you could use an app like Headspace or Calm. Plus … it can have carryover benefits to your overall health and wellness.
It’s all connected …
