16 - Better Sleep Habits

It's been more than 30 days since I started the Sleep30® Challenge and I'm happy to report that I'm feeling... better than I did last month, albeit it didn’t come without a set of hurdles that needed to be cleared— both physically and emotionally. It brought me face to face with my own relationship with boundaries— and forced me to confront why, in the times I need consistency and self-care the most, so I opt for self-sabotage. Any of this sound familiar? You know what you need, you know what choice you should make, and then you go and make a decision that is the exact opposite of what you’ve identified as the clear RX for your current mental state. This has been a stubborn cycle for me to break, one that showed up when sitting down to write this very article. There’s that little voice in my head who just loves the drama of a nearly missed deadline or the fallout from a sudden change of well-laid plans.This episode covers how to move past mental blocks when it comes to setting rituals for better night sleep. I hope you find something that helps you get more rest and wake up feeling ready to take on the day.  Get full access to House Call With Kate Arends at housecall.substack.com/subscribe
