The Last Half-Hour

It is very easy to overlook the last half-hour of the day, but it is actually one of the most important windows of opportunity for making your dreams a reality.

While you sleep, your subconcious mind goes to work and processes the information that you fill it with just before you go to bed.

Many people spend the final half-hour of their day watching TV in an attempt to relax. Unfortunately, most television executives seem to think that the best thing we can watch just before we sleep are graphic images of violence and murder.

The question is, do you want your subconcious mind to be processing these disturbing images all night long?

The last half-hour of the day is an opportunity to give your subconcious mind 'homework' to complete while you are asleep.

The best way to use this opportunity is to find a quiet spot and and spend a few minutes reviewing your written goals. Next, plan the following day and write down what you need to do in your diary or planner.

This will also help you get to sleep because once you've written it down, you can just let it go and stop thinking about things. Finally spend a few minutes reading or listening to something inspirational.

When you finish your day in this way, you will find that you often wake up with new ideas and insights that your subconcious mind discovers while you are sleeping.
