#AskKiara Sleeping Problems

"I have a lot of trouble sleeping and I don't even know why." - P. Q

Hi there! 

Having problems with sleep is very much normal, what's keeping you up is very hard to figure out, but it can be from overthinking, not tired enough, too much sleep, overtiredness, or your body can be exhausted but your mind isn't. It can be everything from a-z,  but here are some tips that might help you!

(If not i suggest you ask your parents, or a doctor for some help.)

Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, and cool. Noise, light, and heat can interfere with sleep. Try using a sound machine or earplugs to hide outside noise, an open window or fan to keep the room cool, and blackout curtains or a sleep mask to block out light.

Stick to a regular sleep schedule. Support your biological clock by going to bed and getting up at the same time every day, including weekends, even if you’re tired. This will help you get back in a regular sleep rhythm.

Avoid naps. Napping during the day can make it more difficult to sleep at night. If you feel like you have to take a nap, limit it to 30 minutes before 3 p.m.

Avoid stimulating activity and stressful situations before bedtime. This includes vigorous exercise; big discussions or arguments; and TV, computer, or video game use. Instead, focus on quiet, soothing activities, such as reading, knitting, or listening to soft music, while keeping lights low.

Don’t read from a backlit device (such as an iPad). If you use an eReader, opt for one that is not backlit, i.e. one that requires an additional light source.

Limit caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine. Stop drinking caffeinated beverages at least eight hours before bed. Avoid drinking alcohol in the evening; while alcohol can make you feel sleepy, it interferes with the quality of your sleep. Quit smoking or avoid it at night, as nicotine is a stimulant.

Goodnight, and I hope you manage to sleep awesome tonight!

Take A Moment - A Calming Short Story

Take A Moment...

The world is busy and loud now and people rush about everywhere not even noticing what’s happening around them, but late at night when most of the world is sleeping and quiet sneak outside, look at the stars, smell the air, shiver when the chill of it hits your lungs and turns your breath white.
Listen.
Listen to the silence and the soft sounds of the evening. It’s not really silent; there will always be sound if you listen closely. The sound of a night bird, a train in the distance, the wind whistling through the trees, even the sound of your own heartbeat can be heard. It’s all there if you listen.
It is late now, turn off your tv, step away from your laptop and phone and all the other devices that make you feel connected but leave you utterly alone. Walk out into the night, embrace the cool air, and dance alone in the night breeze. Stare up at those watchful stars that you haven’t looked at in oh so long.
While you look and you listen and you dance, remember what it is to be alive, remember why you live and what really matters to you.
Perhaps you’ll find it’s not what you’ve been working so hard at.
We never stop anymore; we keep going so fast and forget why we started. The world spins and no one even notices how beautiful it all is.

Stop.

Take a moment to feel what it is

To be alive.

10 Special Beauty Secrets

We women are bombarded with thousands of products that help us appear beautiful, young, and attractive to others. There's always that one magic potion or some special formula will make us look fabulously gorgeous, unbelievable glamorous, and forever young.

But I believe that the most wonderful, powerful, and authentic beauty secrets are free and available to every woman in the world.

1) A genuine smile.

There is nothing in the world more attractive. A smile is worth a hundred times more than the most expensive sparkly lipstick. Many years ago I came upon some research attempting to discover what made a woman attractive. The researchers showed hundred of men pictures of all sorts of women and asked them who they would ask out for a date hoping for a long term relationship. It was overwhelmingly clear that the women who were smiling were the ones men found attractive.
*Regardless of shape, hair color, height, or any number of measurements, it was a smile that was compelling.

2) Bright eyes.

While we may be misled to think that beautiful eyes are created with the thickest, luscious mascara, a new make-up technique, or the right color eye-shadow, bright eyes filled with wonder, interest, peace, curiosity, and concern capture us. The eyes are the window to the soul, they entreat us, compel us, and connect us to one another.

3) Health.

Now, I am not talking about those who have a model form and are in perfect shape.... I mean those with a healthy outlook on life, those who care and respect their form, those who have a balanced and centered life. As humans in spite of the greatest care we may not always be in optimum physical, spiritual, and/or emotional health (I believe we need the difficult challenges to grow and develop). But if our underlying sense of self is healthy, if our worldview is one of peace and strength, we can go through the difficult times where our health is challenged with dignity. I've seen the beauty of those who face death with gentleness. I've seen the heartbroken remain beautiful as they hold onto hope and faith amidst enormous difficulty. I've seen those struggling with serious health concerns retain the self-respect and honor that reflects the beauty within.

4) Graciousness.

I can't think of a more beautiful trait than graciousness. That loveliest of qualities that helps us feel accepted, cared for, and loved. Graciousness is a dignity filled with respect, concern, and acceptance. It is embracing the highest human qualities while releasing the base and tawdry. Graciousness is ultimately ennobling and fills us with reverence for life and each other. When we are in the presence of a gracious person, we feel the wonder of their beauty and feel beautiful ourselves.

5)A tender gaze.

There are few things in life that fill us with peace and love and joy as a tender gaze. Looking at others with love and care is more attractive than all the beauty products humans could ever create. Whether a mother gazes upon her newborn, or lovers gaze upon their beloved, a tender gaze must be one of the most alluring abilities of all.

6)Hands that reach for others.

There is a deep alluring grace in those whose lives are dedicated to service, care, and support of those in need. It is as if the souls that live to care and love the world are filled with the very essence of what is beautiful. I do not know of anything more wondrous, majestic, and glorious than seeing the compassion of one human for another.

7)An Authentic Soul.

Being in the presence of another who is expressing their true self is like seeing a flower in full bloom. On the other hand, when we see those who are trying to be something other than what they are, we miss their unique beauty.

8)A radiant aura.

When all is said and done, true beauty is clearly not a provocative form, a mask or pretense, or glamorous sexy clothing we put on our form. True beauty is a positive, healing, nurturing energy that IS us.

9)Confidence and humility.

These come together because they require balance. Over confidence can become elitism, even egotism while humility can move toward insecurity and low self-esteem. What is absolutely gorgeous is a being who is confident and has a strong sense of self blended with an awareness and honoring of the grandeur of their place in the universe.

10)A Loving spirit.

There is nothing more attractive than being in the presence of a spirit who loves others and who loves life. Love is a powerful force and humankind is in desperate need of those who can share their love with the world.

True beauty is the pure energy that radiates from our hearts.

Whether you are a young woman who may have bought into the myth of what the world is trying to tell you is beautiful, or if you are a woman moving into a phase of life where the world is telling you, you are no longer beautiful, my hope is to remind us all that we do not have to always buy into outward appearance to be valuable and beautiful.

While it is important to care for ourselves, to have respect for our forms, and to honor our bodies; and it is lovely to appropriately attend to our outward appearance, may we not forget that our true beauty is inside, radiating peace, joy, care, and love to the world.

You are a beautiful being... don't forget it!

Overcoming Breakup Triggers

Whether you broke up with someone or were broken up with, many of us have created bad love habits with and because of our former partners that need to be broken. Perhaps you're feeling the urge to call your ex all the time, or maybe you tend to reminisce about the good times. These are normal and perfectly acceptable feelings, but now that you're no longer in a relationship, its time to kick these bad love habits.

Identifying Triggers After A Breakup

The first step in the process of letting go of these love habits after a break up is to look at your triggers - the things that might tempt you to seek contact with your ex again. These could be as innocuous as driving to work and feeling odd not seeing their coffee cup in the holder next to yours, or as obvious as youranniversary date.

Think about the events, places, things, people and dates that you may need a bit of help maneuvering through in the next couple of weeks or months. Does eating alone in a restaurant trigger you after a break up? CominBreakup

to an empty house? Hearing the phone ring?

What To Do About Your Breakup Triggers

Once you've got a list of some of your after a break up triggers, your next step is to brainstorm ideas of things and ways to feel good that you can do - instantly - to take your mind off things.

The premise behind this idea is simple: if you are able to distract yourself for an hour, the likelihood that you'll want to succumb to a love trigger after a break up is reduced considerably. As an example, think about the last time you really had to go to the bathroom, but discovered that the closest restroom was quite a distance away. If something else caught your eye while en route to your destination, did you get distracted - even temporarily? Breaking a love habit is a similar concept, but considerably easier because its not a driving 'need', like going to the bathroom is.

What To Do After A Breakup

WORK ON THINGS THAT INTEREST YOU. 

Each time you postpone your interest in your ex after a break up - especially if you choose another activity that you find compelling - your love habit will slowly erode away from being a driving force in your life. And since your love habit isn't a physiological response (like the bathroom example earlier), the need won't come back any stronger after you've postponed it.
