The good news is stressaholics can be rehabilitated. There are many avenues to relaxation and deep restful sleep. It can be a learned behavior. Do not mistake habit for trait. Avoid saying, “I can’t relax” or “I’m hyper”… instead we should be telingl our brains what we want them to do

Just be willing to change, eh? Start by ceasing the martyr complex that goes along with working too much, too long!

sorry if I’m preachy!
