Here what I did:
- Change my attitude, well-behave to animals and other people. Note that the frustration, envy,…etc will lead to anxiety and thoughts when you lay in bed. A calm, mindfulness, loving attitude is the key but not overindulgent , just try to be harmless to society.
- Read books or Internet until you feel very tired. That ‘s the key . I found out that if I tried to sleep to early, I hardly fell asleep. If you try to sleep early , that means you get anxiety and that ‘s not good. I used to sleep at 2am.
- try some breathing meditations (such as slow down or hold your breaths and count your breaths, or tongue touching upper teeth…etc) to slow your brain waves to alpha state. I followed the breathing exercises according to Dr.Weil cassette. (I bought it for $5 or sth , but it ‘s greatly help). I used to do this exer around 6pm, but it helps with my sleep at late night.
- When I went to bed, instead of thinking about girls and stuff like before, I just tried to recite what I had learned (school stuff) during the day or previous days (recite in head , imagine the locations and contents of what I read but not have the kind of inner voice reciting). This may be similar to the one-point object mediation in Yoga but I think it ‘s better because focusing on one obj in meditation is so boring and did no help to society.
This helps me to sleep easily since I just try to recite and not worry about whether I could sleep tonight or not, so I wouldn’t feel frustration if I couldn’t sleep. That’s the key since last time I got insomnia coz I worry too much about the outcome.

In short, the key factors are: love, calm, positive, work hard, try to stay up late instead of trying to sleep, breathing focus.

PS: When you want something so much you could never get it (because of anxiety), but if you just trying to do your routine with a beautiful mind then you might obtain it on the way.

The lady had moved out of the building. She had an emergency later and wanted to move in with me. Didn’t happen, scared to think what would of happen if she did.

If you can’t avoid her when she’s giving off bad vibes, I would use the tips in my emotional vampire post to deal with whatever type she is. (Check out later posts here for the post…it went up in October 2011.)
