When we don’t sleep well, everything changes! It directly affects our eating patterns, our brain functions and can lead to diseases 🤒 like diabetes, obesity, and even cancer. It can also shoot stress levels, make us feel fatigued, and make us easily irritable about anything 😤. ⠀ ⠀ You’ve probably asked yourself a million times which are the motives that inhibit you from sleeping well, and here we bring six possible answers that have a lot to do with your habits at home:⠀ ⠀ 🔵 Your room is too warm 🔥: This, of course, will bother you as it has been proven that cooler temperatures ❄️ make us sleep better, so maybe it’s a good time to get a fan or turn on your A/C.⠀ ⠀ 🔵 You drank caffeine after 3 pm: A cup of coffee in the afternoon sounds about right ☕️ but… it’ll keep you active until very late! It’s better to let our energy decrease so we are tired when it is time to sleep 😴.⠀ ⠀ 🔵 Lack a pre-bed routine: A pre-bed routine is a way of telling your brain that the time to shut down is coming 🛌 , so it’s good that you set a specific set of tasks to do before bed, like brushing your teeth, applying some skincare 🧖‍���️ or reading a chapter of a book 📚.⠀ ⠀ 🔵 Using your phone before bed: Unplug yourself from technology an hour before heading to bed 📱. Believe us, all that lightning diminishes your melatonin production which is the hormone that makes you sleep.⠀ ⠀ 🔵 No time to wind down: Find it! Meditation 🧘‍♀️, a cup of wine 🍷 , reading a book 📖 , and forgetting about technology 🖥 are always good options to wind down.⠀ ⠀ 🔵 Random sleep schedule: Organize your routine and establish fixed schedules 🗒 so you can always go to bed 🛌 at the same time. That way you adequately control your hours of sleep. ⠀ ⠀ --- ⠀ ⠀ Do you know someone that needs to improve or work on their sleeping time?

5 Reasons Why All Kids Should Sail

October 3, 2017Learn To SailPat Reynolds

There might be nothing in the world that packs as many life lessons as the activity of sailing. It teaches teamwork, engineering, history, patience, oceanography, ecology…all in one fell swoop. Because of this, we believe every kid should learn to sail and here’s the top five reasons why. Feel free to add your own.

Balance

This day and age it’s extremely important to create balance between the natural world and the computer world. For those over 30 it isn’t such a reality (although many would argue that) but “digital natives” truly need to unplug and sailing is perfect for that.

Work Ethic

Yelling at kids to rake the leaves or clean their rooms is something that needs to happen but it’s a bit of a bummer for everyone involved. Sailing is such a great way to teach work/reward lessons in an instantaneous way. It illustrates clear meaning and association for issues like organization and cleanliness. There is hard physical work to be had while sailing but it is a work that is gratifying and immediately shows its purpose, which is what short-attention-span kids can use. It also all happens with a great view.

Bonding

With electronic communication dominating the worlds of young people, the possibilities of bonding are thinning. It’s become a cliché that kids are always “in their screens,” but it is true. Every moment they are staring into this odd electric tunnel is a moment they are not connecting with the space that immediately surrounds them. This is another area where sailing can come to the rescue. There is no place where conversation, laughter and shared silence happens so easily as on a lazy daysail. A family working together to make a boat efficiently bound over the waves is nothing short of nourishing. There is time. Time to teach, time to joke, time to know each other better. Just don’t yell at them, that ruins everything…

Systems

This world is full of systems and seeing one as masterfully designed as a sailboat is valuable. Centuries of trial and error have gone into what’s aboard most modern sailboats and they are living breathing examples of incredible innovations all working in an intricate system that creates travel from a wind source. Reminding kids that this thing is kind of unbelievable might broaden their curiosity and encourage them to look at other systems and become better critical thinkers.

Adventure

Instilling a sense of adventure in a young person is an important seed to plant. Sailboats are safe, but they are also a ticket to the wild unknown. Every kid who’s ever sailed into an empty horizon has looked out and thought, “What if we kept going? Where would we end up?” Sailing takes us away from the normal and plants us firmly in an environment unfamiliar and foreign. Outside of the boat we can’t even stand up in this world – we are essentially helpless. There is nature all around us that lives in a place we can’t even breathe. It’s mind-blowing when you stop and think of it… and it’s a place where a child can stretch his or her imagination. And that is a very good thing.

So... you take

Water

Wind

Know how

A boat

Paper charts

-go anywhere you want in this world that touches water.

-71% of the earth is covered in water, so that’s a pretty big field of play.

I grew up on a boat. From diapers to when my parents split(10 years old or so) I learned to enjoy and respect the time dedicated to doing things right.

I’m in awe of being able to connect back to the basics of what makes me... me.

I look forward to being able to share this with my kids one day. To share this with those who would take the time to appreciate it the way I’ve learned to. For them to dig deeper and understand where I come from. One day I’ll give my dad the url to this “tumblr thing “ so he can know how much I owe to him.

Unplug...

Had to take a little break this week and unplug from social media for a little. Not to say I didn't check my Facebook or Snapchat and whatnot but just not posting anything and trying to be a little more.....discreet about what goes on in my life...

Sometimes less is more...
