Last night I was having a lot of trouble going to sleep (despite getting only a handful of hours the night before and waking up at 3am to drive 17 hours, weeeee!) so I shouldn't have had any problems. In actuality, my tummy has been upset through the last many many days, probably since I stopped the zoloft, and who knows what the reduced lamictal is doing, but other than the nausea, I'm also starting to feel a lot of pressure in my chest like I can't breathe. It's driving me crazy!

SO what I'm saying is this: there is really no bodily explanation of why I woke up by 9:30am today!!!! However, there is an explanation involving my mind.

Since I was laying there completely awake, I took some time to visualize my next day. I felt like I could do a lot if I just put on some music and got moving. I have to vacuum and pick things up before the kitties come home from their vacation. I want to do more laundry too so it's not so stale and stuffy in this room.

I just spent so much time really visualizing myself doing all of these things. I think that's really powerful for me since I am such a visual-oriented person, such a photographic memory, remembering things how they looked in the past, that I don't see why I can't have a photographic thought about the future, too.

I really believe that just visualizing a productive day will have a great influence on reality. It worked so far to get me out of bed!
