Good quality evaluation

At the moment I am for a project diving deeper in the natural functions of sleeping, within the whole natural organisation of how a human being lives and develops: when respecting the natural rhythm and natural order of things.

Yes, the above sentence contains 4 times the word natural.
If that seems to indicate that I’m putting very purposefully quite some emphasis on it..... that is indeed the case.
Why?
Because I see how ‘we’ are not supporting our own wellbeing very well, by actively doing all sorts of things that are counterproductive to natural healing- and self-development powers of a good sleep .

Or... for that matter...... keeping an eye on/ respecting our own natural rhythms and processes in the 24 hours of a day, full stop. But since sleep is the place where you are not consciously interfering too much with the natural processes of life ( since you are asleep) , it is surprisingly enough a very good place to begin making better choices.

Two functions of sleeping are well known: to e-energise and to process the experiences of the day.

Like chewing food supports your system to digest your food and makes it easier to free up the nutrients and make them available to your system.... I feel chewing your ‘day’ before it gets processed into your system in your sleep, has similar benefits.

As a life coach, I am always encouraging people to keep a journal. It doesn’t have to take more than 10/15 minutes, preferably with good old fashion pen and paper, but just in your mind works well too. As long as you do it with full attention.
Just listing three things about the day (this day, the here and now presence of this last day), just bullet points is sufficient, but you can colour it in with more detail of course:

• What did I enjoy today... what was I pleased with to see?
• What did I find challenging?
• What questions are there on my mind looking at my day? What am I wondering?

Of course, if you feel like reviewing other parts of your life.... fine.
Just make sure you incorporate these three elements specifically pointing to the events of this day.

I am getting a deeper understanding on why this habit of reviewing the day gone by, openly and honestly is such a powerful tool in shaping your life.

The only place in your life where you have influence to shape your life is ‘ here and now’.
The past has gone and the future is yet unknown.
Tomorrow is the first new day into that future. Today contains your most recent experiences with life. Such a rich source of up to date information about you. Intelligence you are free to use in developing your strategies in real-time.

But if you’d rather navigate your way through a modern town using ten year old maps... there may still be some resemblance with your current circumstances......

Even if there was no ‘ Knowing’, the habit of evaluating your day would be beneficial to make better choices based on learning from your own experiences.

However, there is some magic to experience if you openly and honestly send all your experiences and questions of the day ‘ out there’...... You’ll receive suggestions on how to move from here, suggestions on answers to your questions.
Among many reasons: you’re simply more able to receive that information consciously, when you are able to send it consciously too.

Journaling, an investment of your time I can thoroughly recommend.
