How to Be a Happy Human – Top Ten Tips from Our Dogs by Robin Palmer @MyWakeUPCalls.com

I am a huge dog and animal lover. These are lessons I have learned from my dogs. -

1. Stay in this moment – right here, right now. The present is a gift.  

2. KISS - Keep it Simple Sweetheart. Be grateful that you have a roof over your head and enough food for today. Everything else is just gravy. 

3. Appoint yourself the welcoming committee. Every time someone from your pack comes back home, give them a hero's welcome. Let them know that they are the most important person on the planet to you, and shower them with kisses.

For extra credit, jump up and down, doing the Yippee Dance, and then run circles of love around them! J

4.  There is always time for a belly rub. 

5. Go for a walk twice a day. Studies show that you rejuvenate and re-focus your energy when you walk outside, especially around nature. Inhale the fresh air, listen to the birds, take in the scenery, soak in the vitamin D from the sun, and relax your mind. Think of it as a walking meditation - just walk and breathe, and shake off the stress. 

6. Take a nap. A 20 to 30-minute nap can improve your mood, make you more alert, and help you to perform better. Sleep deprivation has reached epidemic proportions. Snuggle up with your dog, your perfect role model for sound sleep.    

7. Greet the day with an up and downward dog, two familiar Yoga stretches. Dr. Oz says one of the best things you can do for your body is to stretch before you get out of bed every morning. Your body can tighten up over night while you sleep. Especially as you get older, it's best to wake up and stretch before you get out of bed in the morning. This is why I included gentle stretches in bed with My Workout Wake UP Call – Motivational Alarm Clock Messages.  

So start your day with an up and downward dog or two. Watch your dog for instructions.

8. Walk or run barefoot in the grass or in the sand every chance you get. The electrons in the earth optimize your immune system, which you receive through your bare feet. This is my dogs’ #1 favorite activity.      

9. Shake off stress. Get unstuck by shifting your energy with a full body shake. Follow your dog's lead, and let it go.

I was honored to participate at the recent Hidden Riches Experience event in San Diego, hosted by renowned thought leaders and My Wake UP Call^® “Messengers,” Chris and Janet Attwood – My Wake UP Call to Passion, Marci Shimoff – My Wake UP Call to Love, and Debra Poneman – My Wake UP Call to Success messages.  

Deva Premal and Miten were among the list of luminaries who took the stage that weekend. Being one of their millions of fans around the planet, I was thrilled to get to be up close and personal with them.

After singing for us, Janet asked them how they manage to stay grounded, while flying around the globe on their non-stop World Tour. They shared that they start every day by grounding themselves. They literally shaking off stress from their bodies for 15-minutes every morning, and taught us how to shake it off, too.   

I love this practice and now shake off stress every day, whenever I feel the need. Sometimes I shake it off right along with my canine role models. 

  

10. Be your man’s (or woman’s) best friend. When a human in your house looks sad or stressed, go give them a kiss. If they bark at you in a moment of stress, show them some unconditional love. Give them a couple of minutes to cool down, and then go snuggle up in their lap. After all, they are only human.

Bonus Tip - Our dogs’ names are Hope and Faith. (Their middle names are both Charity.) Repeating their names regularly every day reminds me to have Hope and Faith…and that I do!

Please feel free to share these Top Ten Tips with fellow dog lovers!

Sleep Deprived? Sleep Soundly with My Good Night Messages & My Inspirational Lullabies @MyGoodNightMessages.com

                                                        

Do you or someone you know suffer from insomnia or sleep deprivation?  Sleep deprivation affects millions of Americans every night and is a leading cause of health issues like obesity, heart disease and Diabetes.

Did you know that sleeping pills are now the most commonly prescribed medication? As Dr. Oz points out, this is not good news. Studies show that a good night's sleep includes transitions between light and deep sleep, REM, which is absolutely crucial for replenishing brain cells and waking up feeling rejuvenated. Sleeping pills just make you crash.

AND have you heard about one of the most commonly reported side effects, in addition to drug dependency? Brace yourself! -- Users report sleep-binging in their kitchens while they are sound asleep, and even worse, getting behind the wheel and sleep-crashing their cars.

Did you know that your mind is the most open during the last five minutes of your day – when you are transitioning from your conscious mind to your subconscious state?  And most people go to sleep with the news.

So as Dr. Wayne Dyer says, “If you don’t want to be trying to solve the world’s problems and the murders you just witnessed in your sleep for the next 6-8 hours, don’t watch the news before you go to bed. You can actually program your mind positively and help yourself to have a good night’s sleep. 

 We have the solution for you. I partnered with Psychoneurologist, Dr. Sylva Dvorak, to create My Good Night Messages^™ - research-based, safe and sound sleep solution messages. Each patented, nightly five-minute message includes simple sleep tips and tools, and relaxing meditations. Also included are My Good Night Calls^™ bedtime reminders, and My Inspirational Lullabies^™ — new inspiring lullabies, which I wrote and recorded for dreamers of all ages.

Enjoy the great night's sleep you've been dreaming of - safely and naturally - with  My Good Night Messages and My Inspirational Lullabies @MyGoodNightMessages.com

Do you make the most of the most important minutes of your day?

If you are like most people in the "human race," you are so busy running through the paces of your day that you are not sure which minutes would rate as being most important. And even if you knew how to differentiate them from the other precious minutes of the day, how would you find the time to make the most of them?

Research shows that your mind is the most open and receptive to receiving information during the first and last five minutes of every day, when transitioning between consciousness and subconsciousness -- while in alpha state. [1]

Ironically, Americans report experiencing more stress than ever before, yet almost 70 percent still start the day with a blaring buzzer. There's even a spike in heart attacks from the alarm on Monday mornings, which sends stressed out people right over the edge into cardiac arrest. [2] Needless to say, it is neurologically stressful to start your day in a physiological state of alarm.

 Sleep deprivation is affecting millions of people every night,
Insomnia is affecting millions of people every night and is a leading cause of health issues like obesity, heart disease and diabetes.[3]

Sleep is the new sex -- Sleeping pills now lead the list of most commonly prescribed medications by physicians.[4] Yet, most Americans still tuck themselves in at night with the negative news on TV, or with the stimulating glare from their electronic devices. If you don't want your subconscious mind to have you tossing and turning all night, then it is best to steer clear of the negative noise and e-energy before bedtime.[5]

It's time for some good news!
Instead of bookending your day with blaring buzzers and negative news, you can easily and enjoyably maximize your alpha minutes to create the life of your dreams. Here are three easy options for you:

Don't just do something! Just lie there!
Resist the temptation to race out of bed as soon as you open your eyes in the morning. And at night, when you lay yourself down to sleep, "just say no" to turning on your electronic device and checking your email. Instead, infuse these magical moments with inspiration, and envision fulfilling your goals and dreams. Take advantage of these invaluable times to program your subconscious with positive thoughts, gratitude, visualization and affirmations. Bookending your day with meaningful inspiration is the easiest way to influence everything in between.

Get on a new thought track.
Studies show that your mind's neurotransmitters are like train tracks, and thought patterns are formed like well-traveled train routes. To create new positive thought patterns, the initial positive thought is crucial to "laying down new tracks," creating new positive thought routes and letting "grass grow" on the old thought tracks. And, while in alpha state, when your mind is the most open, take advantage of this optimal time to get new the thoughts rolling in the right direction on a new train of thought.

Start your day with a dress rehearsal.
Imagine yourself participating positively in your day during your morning meditation. See yourself successfully completing your tasks, accomplishing your daily goals and using your gifts for good, in the same way an elite athlete or Broadway performer prepares for an event or performance. Your subconscious believes the images and feelings you send it in your visualizations and can't differentiate between your inner reality and "real world" out there. Having starred in Broadwaymusicals for 15 years, I personally experienced the benefits of visualizing my performance before every show.

Dream on your way to dreamland.
Visualize completing goals you are working to accomplish just before you fall asleep. You'll give your subconscious six to eight hours to work on them while you are sound asleep. Allowing your subconscious to work for you while you sleepcan give you that extra advantage you've been dreaming of for years!

Wake UP Inspired to Live Your Dreams - My Wake UP Call and My Good Night Mp3 Messages @MyWakeUPCalls.com

                                                                 
Hi, from Robin Palmer!

People keep asking me why I invented My Wake UP Call^® Motivational Alarm Clock^® Messages and My Good Night Messages^™. I created these morning and evening five-minute motivating messages to start and end every day positively inspired - because I needed them myself. Thankfully, they've made a difference for me and for many others - like you!

Necessity was the mother of my invention. I had starred in Broadway musicals for 15 years. Then I moved to California, took a desk job, got married, had a family, and things got really hectic. I longed for an affordable personal trainer to wake me up every morning, and inspire me to wake up and work out. He had to say something different every day, be really motivating, and someone whom my husband wouldn't mind being in bed with us in the morning. I couldn't find what I was looking for. 

Research shows that our minds are the most open the first and last five minutes of the day, when transitioning between consciousness and subconsciousness.  Ironically, most people wake up with buzzers and bad news like, “Someone got murdered now get out there and prosper.” And watching the news before you go to bed literally feeds you fear before calling asleep. Conversely, when we start and end the day positively inspired, it changes everything in between.  

So I worked to get the process patent, and then got it - for Motivational Alarm - motivational messages, plus alarm not restricted to wake up. Every lawyer had told me that I couldn't get it and I got it. And then I  got our eight registered trademarks and copyrights for all of the messages and the message formats. It was really important to me to procure all of the IP to protect My Wake UP Call^® Motivational Alarm Clock^® Messages and My Good Night Messages^™.  

Sleep deprivation and Insomnia affect millions every night, and sleeping pills are among the most widely prescribed medications, in spite of their reported frightening side effects. Also, sleeping pills just make you crash. A good night’s sleep includes sleep cycles of  light and deep sleep, or REM sleep, which we need for rejuvenation. The most reported side effects, besides drug dependency, is sleep driving and crashing your car in your sleep, and sleep binging and eating everything in your refrigerator, which create real life nightmares! Doctors often receive their bonuses for writing scripts, and are taught by the pharmaceuticals about the benefits of sleep medications. I partnered with Psychoneurologist, Dr. Sylva Dvorak, and created research-based, Safe & Sound Sleep Solution messages as a safe and natural alternative to sleeping pills. Dr. Dvorak and I discovered many safe and natural options to help you to enjoy falling asleep, and sleeping well all night. Most physicians are not schooled in the benefits of natural sleep solutions  - like rubbing five drops of lavender oil  into the soles of your feet before you get into bed. Essential lavender oil is one of nature's relaxing remedies for your neurological system.

I am grateful to continue partnering with famous wellness experts and thought leaders for Wake UP Call^® and My Good Night Messages^™- like His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Jack Canfield,  Michael Bernard Beckwith, Marianne Williamson, Janet Atwood, Marci Shimoff, Debra Poneman - the list goes on and on!  And I am so grateful that listeners continue to report that our messages are changing their lives. A med. student recently called me to tell me that we got him through Med School, and then forwarded the research paper he had written about the beneficial qualities of our messages! Thanks to people like you, the good news is getting out there! Imagine my surprise when Dr. Oz called me to tell me, "My Wake UP Call is brilliant!" 

Here's an update for you! You know, we always include music with our messages. And for My Good Night Messages, I couldn't find any uplifting lullabies. They were frightening, like, "...When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall. And down will come baby, cradle and all." I was raised with Go Tell Aunt Rodie - “Go tell Aunt Rodie. Go tell Aunt Rodie. Go tell Aunt Rodie the old grey goose is dead.” Good night! Sleep well! Have good dreams! :)  

So I wrote and recorded My Inspirational Lullabies for dreamers of all ages, and included them with My Good Night Messages' good night meditations, relaxation exercises, sleep tips and tools.

AND, we've just included another special bonus with My Good Night Messages. My Good Night Call^™ reminders help you to be in bed when you want to be in bed,  just like My Wake UP Call messages help you to wake up when you want to wake up. We have a Snooze Free Zone with our messages in the morning, because snoozing is a sabotage. People set the time they want to wake up themselves. No one has a gun to their heads, telling them what time they have to wake up. They set that time so they can have a successful day.  The same principle is true at night. My Good Night Call reminders prevent against losing track of time at night, so you are all tucked in on time, and get the amount of sleep you need to rise and shine every morning.

We are the most grateful for you! 

Stay tuned for EXCITING NEWS! 

Robin
