Techniques and Insights for Better Sleep and More Mindful Days
Join me and my special guest Kathryn Nicolai. Kathryn is the creator of the enormously successful podcast Nothing Much Happens and the author of the book of the same name. Nothing Much Happens is consistently ranked in the top 1% of all podcasts in the world and has received over 65 million downloads.
As an architect of cozy, she leans on her years of experience as a yoga and meditation teacher to seamlessly blend storytelling with brain training methods that build better sleep habits over time. And imagine …wait till you hear about this… doing all of this not being able to picture a person’s face or see things in her mind. Kathryn lives in Michigan with her wife and two dogs.
Not be missed take-ways:
1. Stop waiting to feel ready. There’s no time to wait to feel ready.
2. If there’s something you’re passionate about, something you’re excited about stop wasting time and go do it.
3. When in doubt, do what you were going to do first, especially if you’re a second guesser or an over thinker.
4. People aged 60 + have the most difficulty sleeping.
5. There’s an old zen saying: you open the front door and you open the back door you let thoughts move through but you don’t sit them down and invite them to tea.
6. Sleep affects everything. It’s so foundational to our health. If we’re not sleeping everything is endangered.
7. If you’re a little older and you feel like you have a dream that you haven’t pursued yet, it’s not too late! But get started, start making it happen.
And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…
1) Listen to Nothing Much Happens and see what happens!
2) Try telling yourself before bed that you’re going to have a restful sleep throughout the night.
3) Create a bedtime routine so that your body and brain know that it is time to relax and prepare to have a great night’s sleep!
