Does Bacon Sleep?

The piggy silliness continues, making the seriousness of being a healing and coaching entrepreneur less stressful.

Canadian Maple Bacon models self-care strategies throughout June. 😉

Self-care and sleeping might as well be fun.

However, first there’s a travel update.

Canadian Maple Bacon, a.k.a. CMB, went international, a week after ‘birth day.’ (The day Sandra obtained and named The Pig.)

We navigate to Edmonds, WA. Then breeze through blue skies in North Cascades National Park. And cross into BC.

See the last beautiful BC pic at the end.

Self-Care Joke 🤣

Sleep:

  • Why did the pillow go to the doctor?

  • It was feeling down in the dumps!

Sleep & Burnout: Self-Care & Your Business ~ June’s Theme

“You’re not doing anything. You are going to sleep.”

My body had enough of overworking, and it wiped me out. The body ached with flu. My eyelids felt so heavy they wouldn’t prop open. Sleep.

When I’ve got work, I both stay up late and jump up early. And I know better.

What’s in this week’s blog video about sleep? I tell you now, so you can decide if it’s worth 9+ minutes to watch.

Knock, knock. Please Reader, is this helpful for you? Reply to this email and let me know if it’s worth the extra effort?

  • How your body and brain heal during sleep. (until 2:30min.)

  • Strategies (until 5min.)

    • Go to bed earlier

    • Turn off screens

    • Blue vs red light

  • Healing: Make Anything Possible (MAP) Method (last 4min.)

Watch the video for “Why’s,” details, and healing. 👆

​“Self-care equals success.
You’re going to be more successful if you
​take care of yourself and you’re healthy.”
— Beth Behrs

Sometimes, balancing your business and personal life feels impossible.

You don't need the media to tell you stress levels are high, manifesting as symptoms of chronic fatigue, physical illness, insomnia, irritability, decreased motivation, and difficulty concentrating. You probably live some of these every day.

So, what's the solution?

The surprising answer is a regular regimen of self-care.
 
This would not have been my answer a couple of years ago, as I equated self-care with selfishness and self-indulgence. The term conjured visions of narcissistic divas, without a care in the world, lazing about getting facials, massages, and mani-pedis. My view of self-care was very narrow.
 
But I now see it differently. Self-care isn't about pampering; it's a critical strategy for ensuring sustainability and avoiding burnout.
 
As I've learned, there are many types of self-care, including:

  • Physical

  • Mental and emotional

  • Social

  • Professional

  • Financial

Let's dive into each. You likely don't associate most of these activities with self-care—I know I didn't.

For the self-care strategies, read the rest of Kathy’s article here.

Trivia

Here are trivia bits about Self-Care. Thanks ChatGPT!

  1. Sleep Importance: The CDC recommends at least 7 hours of sleep per night for adults. Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to a variety of health issues, including cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression.

  2. Digital Detox: Reducing screen time, especially before bed, can improve sleep quality and mental health, reducing anxiety and stress.

    Sandra’s notes:

    About #1. My tendency to short my sleep contributed to getting sick. Sleeping more is always on my ‘how to improve’ list.

    About #2. As mentioned in the video 👆 screens impact sleep. 💖

Women healers and coaches hire me to grow their business because most are overwhelmed, scattered, and don’t have enough clients.

So I help them to identify opportunities for increasing their income fast, structure their business for sustainable growth, and tap into and enhance their intuition.

Bottom line, they increase their income and impact, guaranteed.
