This Week’s Mental Health Recipe
A Tart Cherry Sleep Tonic to Wake Up in a Better Mood | Mental Health Recipes
Getting a good night’s rest can feel like an uphill battle at times.
Maybe you find yourself staring at the ceiling, hoping sleep will come. And these nights of sleepless rest don’t just, well, wreck your night. They also spill over into the next day; it can feel like you’re not fully there, but still expected to perform and be present in the same way.
And yup, that can be exhausting too.
But no matter what you try, maybe a good night’s sleep is few and far between. So, perhaps it’s about time you started a few bedtime rituals, including this Tart Cherry Sleep Tonic (don’t worry; it doesn’t include any sleep meds!).
Having a bedtime routine is undeniably one of the important pieces of a good night’s rest. It helps you wind down and prepares your body (and brain) for sleep. And this can impact your mood in more ways than one. So, should you make this Tart Cherry Tonic? Why…
One Positive Action
Keep One Promise to Yourself
We all set expectations throughout the day; some are small and others feel more important. Many of them go unfinished, not because they are difficult, but because they are easy to postpone.
That pattern impacts you. When you regularly set something aside that you said you would do, your word starts to lose weight. You begin to expect that you will circle back later, even when you do not. The result is an internal disconnect between what you intend and what actually happens.
Rebuilding that connection requires nothing major; just consistency.
Choose something specific and reasonable. It should be clear enough that you know exactly when it is done. Commit to completing it without revisiting the decision or adjusting the standard.
You just need to follow through once, on purpose.
Decide on one small promise to yourself today. Make it direct and achievable. Complete it without delay, and let it stand as a finished commitment.
