Victoria,

A very insightful post.

I find that self-improvement is the tie in with sleep as we recharge ourselfs each night and that is a massive leap of improvement in itself. When we sleep our energy connects to the source, and depending on how we are before the sleep, we may either take this new energy into a new form and accept what has happened in our life experience (therefore move onto a higher consciousness), or keep repeating the same patterns/habits each day until we acknowledge that life experience, and take ourselfs to that new wave through the energy that we accept through sleep.

Sleeping is our energy’s life lesson, a place where we create choices and resolve issues. The mirror of self-improvement.

I think we’re always improving, growing, and becoming. Sleep definitely has it’s role in that process. So, I guess I’d say sleep IS a type of self improvement.

I absolutely agree.

No sleep = a cranky Natalia who can barely keep her eyes open. No energy for self-work there!

And I know Havi says we should be in the process *all the time*, and I love her ideas, but, jeez, that’s an awful lot of work sometimes. It’s liberating to just *be* when we need it, when we want a break, and want to just be. Have fun, stop thinking, start feeling and doing more. Awesome.

Plus, as you said, sleep has a purpose, and it does help our memory and, I would add, concentration. Sleep is essential. Mmm sleep…

Hey great post,
I certainly agree we need to rest, but when you are really motivated and determined it is hard to pull back and take a break.

P.S. I also have gone to sleep with a problem on my mind and woke up with a solution. It is an incredible experience and the solution was always perfect.

Very good post. Downtime is rejuvenating on so many levels. I wish more people would trust themselves enough to “just” be a little more often.

Hi Victoria! I came over from today’s Wiry Frankle. I saw this NOVANow, and I wondered if my memory being what is isn’t from the years I didn’t sleep in college and seminary. I think you are right on about resting, and just taking a break and having fun. And it’s something I need to do more of. I do not play near enough and as a result take myself way too seriously. Thanks for the reminder that I really do need to rest and play.

oh I forgot — when you play you forget all about worrying whether you are perfect or good enough or anything else, you just ARE. Such a relief! :)
