Have you ever given much thought to your mindset? Does it just sound like another buzzword you have no time for? Or maybe you’re not sure what “mindset” even means! Your mindset is the fundamental beliefs you hold about yourself and the world.

Stress. If you’re like me, stress is an unavoidable, daily companion. In certain seasons of our lives, stress can become overwhelming. And most of us have come up with ways of “coping” with stress; ways to escape the awful feelings that come with it.

I used to really struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep. I have always been a night owl, and regardless of how much I did in a day, I would lay in bed and not be able to fall asleep. I would go over all the 9 million items that I could have done better, ways I failed, and things I had to do tomorrow and when I was going to get them done. I was overwhelmed, anxious, and burdened.

It was difficult not to be able to fall asleep but it was even more difficult to function the next day being so exhausted.

Which makes it hard when you are a mom.

Obviously we know that with infants, sleep is a dream, not a reality, most of the time. But how frustrating is it when your kids actually do sleep but you can’t. And then you have to wake up with them as if you are well-rested and ready to go.

It has taken some intentional learning and shifting of things, but now, I sleep so freaking amazing, I fall asleep quickly, I stay asleep (unless kiddos come in the room), and even when my sleep is interrupted - I am able to fall back asleep quickly. My husband has been entertained with my snoring at night too. And to be clear - I only snore when I am in a deep sleep. And its been happening almost every night for a while.

So how did I get from insomnia to snoring within 5 minutes of laying my head down on my pillow? Here you go - all the details are below!
