I was talking to a client last week who told me something that really stuck with me. She said that she was dreading going to bed because she knew it was going to be struggle to fall asleep. As soon as her head hit the pillow, her mind was going crazy. Replaying her day, worrying about the next, redoing conversations at work...

Sooo... How many yoga or gym routines have you tried? I've done it all. I committed to a new routine I saw on Instagram. And I managed... what, four days? Before I had to travel, had an early meeting, or let's be honest... just couldn't be arsed to get out of bed. And then I thought: "The problem is me. I lack discipline. If I were more motivated, I'd manage it." Nope. I don't think that anymore. The problem is that I was trying to shoehorn a random routine into my life. If you've ever been...
