The continuance of the day and night habit of thinking of business brings on the insomnia habit and that starts the auto suggestion that you are fighting for your natural sleep. This produces worry, the demon that kills and maims. To have an occasional wakeful night is natural; it is an evidence of intelligence: the mental dullard never has wakeful nights. Unless the fear of sleeplessness becomes a full grown phobia no anxiety need be felt. The fear of insomnia, the over anxiety to go to sleep, is to be more dreaded than insomnia itself. To get refreshing sleep you must get physical tiredness. Take exercise. Walk in one direction until the first symptoms of becoming tired appears, then walk home. Take a hot bath, then sponge with cold or cool water. Put a cold cloth at the head, rub the backbone with cold water. Open your windows wide, then relax. Don't worry; you are going to sleep. Lie on your back, open your eyes wide, look up as if you were trying to see your eyebrows, hold your eyes open this way ten to twenty seconds, then close them slowly. Repeat this several times. Soon the sandman will come. Concentrate your mind on auto suggestion like this: "I am going to sleep--sound heavy, restful, peaceful sleep. My eyelids are getting heavy--heavy. I am going to close them and go to sleep." Don't try counting imaginary sheep jumping over fence rails. Don't count numbers. It is a bad habit. If these suggestions do not help you the first night say, "All right, my brain was too active, so then tomorrow I will let down a bit." Next night eat one or two dry crackers, chew them slowly, masticate them thoroughly until you can swallow easily. This little food will draw the blood pressure from the brain and help you to go to sleep. Drive out business and worry thoughts. Think faith and courage thoughts. MISTAKES Not the Making But the Repeating, Is Your Danger To live down the past and erase the errors, live boldly the present. Do not chastise or condemn yourself for mistakes you have made; you are not alone; everyone has made missteps, has hurt others, has wronged himself. Everyone has had trouble, reverses and misfortune; it's the plan of things, and these things come to give us experience and correct our future acts by the knowledge of how to avoid errors and wrongs. Yesterday is dead; forget it. Face about; live today; be busy, be active, be intent on doing right and accomplishing things worth while. The world's memory is short. A misdeed, an error, a wrongful act on your part may set busy tongues wagging today and you may suffer from calumny and criticism. Of course your errors will be magnified and your wrongs enlarged beyond the truth; that's the penalty you pay. Lies are always added to truth in telling of one's misdeeds. Be brave; weather the storm, it will soon blow over. Tomorrow the world will forget. You've suffered in your own conscience; that's all the debt you can pay on the old score.
