IMMUNITY LESSON 13
Better Sleep + Better Attitude = Great Combo
We need both Better Sleep and Better Attitude to build a foundation for better health and become more resilient to the stressors and triggers in our life.
Sleep and Attitude are key players in your quest to become less susceptible and more resilient to those stressors which keep building to a point that we feel overwhelmed. You certainly should be feeling better with good, adequate sleep, a positive attitude, and some additional Movement. And your immune system (and every other body system) is bolstered and enhanced by these simple and practical evidence-based practices. And they are all FREE!
They will benefit you much more than any expensive sleep prescription or over the counter sleep aid, exercise equipment, or a subscription-based home study course to get your head straight. And, this effective 2nd Line approach is simple, time-efficient, and affordable. Spread the sauce and give the link below to your extended family and friends.

Today’s lesson is designed to consolidate the lessons to date before going further.
Redundancy is a great teacher
Just think about learning in school. Over and over. It works.
Having these three foundational components of the Four Pillars of Well-Being (Sleep, Attitude, Moving) solidly in place will make the installation of the final foundational component, Eating to Be Better, much easier. This review session will make those long standing and deeply ingrained, less than optimal dietary habits a lot easier to modify.
JOY’S PEARL
“You are on your way to resilience by sleeping better, moving, working on a positive attitude. The path is not so daunting after all.”
Today’s #1 Task
A consistent sleep schedule is important to your body and mind. Your body, mind, and psyche need the repeatable schedule.
- Work toward a non-negotiable “lights out” time as per the Sleep One Minute lessons and the eBook and employ the pre-sleep routines.
- The correlation between lack of sleep and elevated stress and diminished immune function, and enjoyment of life is clear.
- Exercise gratitude. Do your gratitude practice immediately prior to bedtime and after lights-out. And, multiple other times during the day when you may be feeling victimized by circumstances. Gratitude is a powerful tool to have in your personal toolkit.
- Keep working on sleep and attitude/gratitude while moving more during the day. You’ll begin to feel the difference not only with your stress but also in your overall wellbeing.
- Put these principles into action by being mindful and aware of added movement throughout the day.
- Go for a walk. “Just do it,” as the Nike slogan recommends. Download “pedometer” or “pedometer++” to your android or iPhone, respectively. Tracking your progress is a great motivator to “Just do it.” Do a bit more each day.
- Tee up a funny movie and laugh out loud. The more laughter, the better. Your attitude and immune system will thank you. Your partner will too.
