Meet Quynh Luong, a globally recognized sound healer and expert in mind therapy and NLP, certified by the American ABH and NLP Associations. Dedicated to alleviating mental and physical discomfort through sound therapy, Quynh leads weekly community meditation sessions to promote mindful living.
Quynh’s philosophy is rooted in a simple yet profound concept: Energy is everything. This invisible yet palpable force, she believes, pulsates through every living being and space, playing an integral role in our sleep quality. Measuring this energy on the Bovis scale, Quynh asserts that higher readings correlate with better sleep, reduced stress levels, and a more positive life outlook.
Ready to supercharge your energy and bid farewell to restless nights? Here are Quynh’s top 5 tips:
1. Fuel Your Body Right
Ditch the caffeine and sugar-laden drinks like coffee and cola, which can leave you drained and lethargic. Instead, opt for a herbal tea or a tart cherry juice, and lighter fare such as poultry and seafood over red meat. Nourish your body with nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, milk, beans, seeds, and cheese. By treating your body to a menu of nutritious options, you’re setting the stage for refreshing rest.
2. Energize Your Living Space
Transform your home into a sleep-friendly haven. Maximize natural light, declutter your space, and introduce some greenery. Pay attention to pleasant scents too. These simple changes can elevate your mood, boost your energy, and pave the way for sweet slumber.
3. Shake Off Negative Influences
Reassess your social circle and minimize interactions with ‘energy vampires’ – those who drain your positivity. Don’t let their negativity affect you; overthinking their comments and criticism can lead to sleepless nights. Cultivate relationships that uplift and energize you instead.
4. Curate Positive Inputs
Avoid horror movies and melancholic music, especially before bedtime. These can dampen your mood, drain your energy, and potentially lead to nightmares. Instead, engage with uplifting content that promotes relaxation and positive thoughts.
5. Cultivate Self-Awareness
Become your own best friend. Listen to your body, understand your emotions, and be aware of your needs. Recognizing stressors and developing coping strategies can alleviate anxiety, improve mood, and promote deeper sleep. With heightened self-awareness, you can better manage your emotions, stay present, and develop healthier habits – all contributing to more restful sleep.
By implementing these expert tips from Quynh Luong, you’re not just improving your sleep – you’re enhancing your overall quality of life. Sweet dreams await!
