We talk about the insanity of a morning routine that lasts 3 hours or more (part of the 5 am club), how we need to follow our own navigation and not others, we reflect on what deeper self-care looks like such as setting boundaries, saying no and, having better connections with people, the new things we have been trying in our routine and some we have yet to try such as listening to the sound of bacon which, provides a deeper sleep according to research.  We talk about what else we have discovered in the quest to stay sane, have better sleep and feel good in ourselves during this holiday. Plus a little sleep meditation (yoga nidra) for a little calm and, a guest teacher from Rome, Valeria Arcangeli, telling us what her ideal day of slowing down looks like.
