Energy within rises and falls like ocean tides.  Throughout any 24 hour period, we move through various levels of wakefulness and sleepiness, comfort and discomfort.  Consider the quality of your life energy at this time in your life.  Is this a period of harmony, with a natural ebb and flow?  Do you make good choices for yourself as your personal needs arise?

If not, perhaps self-care needs to be a priority.  With shorter days and cooler temperatures upon us, you may want to treat yourself to a hearty bowl of your favorite soup or stew and allow ample time to savour the meal.  Establish an earlier bedtime that includes some form of meditation, candle light and soothing music before going to bed.  Make self-care a priority and mindfully create the quality of the energy you desire and need at this time in your life.
