Shining sink 365 day 21

Today I want to talk about your before bed routine (bbr) and how shining your sink effects this.  Here is what my BBR looks like each night.  Wash dishes and shine sink, lay out clothes for me and kids, baths for everyone, check my calender, and go to bed at a decent hour.  (For me this is 10pm.)  Why is this BBR important you may be asking, well this is the biggest routine of your day and the most important it sets you up to start the next day on the right foot.  If I do not get anything else in the day done I do my best to make sure that the BBR is done every night.  I did not start with all of this and I want to encourage you do start this way to.  Start with your dishes and sink.  Do this for a month then add your next step I think that laying out your clothes is the next most important thing in the BBR because you are not searching for clothes in the morning when you are in a hurry to get out the door or start your day at home.  I like to go to the gym every morning so I lay out two sets of clothes work out clothes and clothes for the day when I get home to change into.  I think the next important is checking your calender so you make sure that you are laying out the right clothes and then you will want to make sure that you know for sure what time you need to be out the door.  I am a SAHM so I do not have to leave the house every morning but I do go to the gym every morning after the kids get on the bus but when I check my calender I make sure that I am able to go at this time or if someone has a appointment that I will need to run out to or need to keep home from school for.  A very big one for everyone is going to bed at a decent hour because this insures that you are night tired the next day and just going through your day half asleep.  Sleep is very important for your health and we can not take care of others if we are not taking care of ourselves.  We are flying and flying is more than just the way we clean our home FLYing stands for Finally Loving Yourself.  You have to be a little selfish and take time to take care of you so that you can take care of others.  If your cup is running over you will be able to pour into others.  Flylady has a spot in her book where she talks about this she use the example of your car running out of gas.  If you do not take a few moments to take the time to fill up your car with gas you will run out of gas on the side of the road and have to spend more money to pay a service to bring you more gas or inconvenience someone in your family to bring you some.  You miss your appointment and  waste there time to.  If your body is running out of fuel you are going to break down and end up at the doctor or even worse the hospital.  So please take time to go to bed early and give the BBR a chance you will see a change in how easy it is to fly when you get your routines in place.
