Actionable wisdom:
“I had a bedroom better suited for a stimulating afternoon than a good night’s rest, one and a half Lunesta tablets be damned.”
🛏️ Your bedroom environment plays a key role in your ability to unwind. The minimalist approach is Brock Keeling’s solution to sleepless nights. He provides the details on how to transform your bedroom into a “minimalist cocoon” that will foster relaxation, comfort and restful sleep.
This week’s cool thing:
👂🏼 A dripping faucet. Noisy neighbors. Birds chirping. A co-worker who doesn’t know how to use his “inside voice.” We constantly deal with a wide range of intrusive noises.
Thankfully, A Soft Murmur is here to help. Visit the website (or download the Android/iPhone app) and drown out the outside world through adjustable levels of rainstorm, wind, white noise, Tibetan singing bowl, coffee shop and other soothing background sounds. Its timer mode makes it ideal for meditation sessions.
Side note:
🎸 If you’re a fan of the Beatles but have never made it to London to see Abbey Road firsthand, check out this live streaming cam of the famous crossing. It’s not the same as being there, but as you’ll see, it’s probably a bit safer.
💡Answer: Though the subconscious drives their personalities, it doesn’t actually create those background people in your dreams. They’re all people you’ve seen at some point, even if you weren’t aware you noticed them. The janitor you passed in the hallway, the woman sitting near you on the train, the FedEx guy carting a package down the sidewalk — they could all be playing a cameo role in your next dream.
