What is the secret to getting a solid 7 to 8 hours of sleep? Head for the kitchen and enjoy one or two of these 10 foods. They relax tense muscles, quiet buzzing minds, and/or get calming, sleep-inducing hormones - serotonin and melatonin - flowing. Yawning yet?
Bananas. They’re practically a sleeping pill in a peel. In addition to a bit of soothing melatonin and serotonin, bananas contain magnesium, a muscle relaxant.
Chamomile tea. The reason chamomile is such a staple of bedtime tea blends is its mild sedating effect - it’s the perfect natural antidote for restless minds/bodies.
Warm milk. It’s not a myth. Milk has some tryptophan - an amino acid that has a sedative - like effect - and calcium, which helps the brain use tryptophan. Plus there’s the psychological throw-back to infancy, when a warm bottle meant “relax, everything’s fine.”

The arrival of the new year marks a symbolic time for fresh starts. Many of us take it as an opportunity to set goals, contemplate decisions, and renew commitments. It’s special because of the revitalized sense of hope it brings.
Before you make your New Year’s resolutions for 2007, I’d like to share some thoughts about how it’s never too late to start living a rich life.
The Live Rich Factor
Most people believe that if they just had more money, the things that make them unhappy would disappear and their lives would be better. The truth is that your life can be better without more money. It can be better today, but you need to make some decisions and take some actions.
You don’t need me to tell you what will make you happy — only you know that truth.
I believe each of us has the power to discover our purpose and become joyful in the process of journeying toward that purpose. It’s not easy, however. Nothing important and meaningful ever is.
What you need to do is create what I call the “Live Rich Factor” in your life. I call it this because those who find the purpose that leads them to joy are truly the luckiest people in the world, because they’re living richly.
There are five basic principles involved in creating your Live Rich Factor:

People, it’s nearly resolution time, so why not resolve to do something completely painless that will do wonders for your peace of mind: Back up your data!But it’s too complicated, you say?
Baloney, I say. It’s easy to back up data, and it needn’t cost much, if anything. Here’s some suggestions on how to do it.
- Go Online - This is by far the easiest way to do your backups. It backs up files in real time, so I’m never at risk of losing more than about 30 minutes of work.
- Use an External Hard Drive - Simply purchase a large external USB drive (250GB will run you $100 to $280, depending on brand name) and install backup software. It’ll back up your hard drive every night automatically. It’s probably overkill at 250GB, mind you, since you don’t need to back up Windows and application files that you have on CD. My entire backup set, with music, pictures, and movies, is less than 40GB. Without music it’s less than 7GB.

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get closer to becoming debt-free, this column is for you.Steering clear of unwanted debt is a great way to manage your finances and relieve daily stress, which seems to become increasingly more stressful each year.
7 steps to becoming debt-free in ‘07
1. Live below your means. You cannot become debt-free if you spend more than you earn. It’s that simple! Financial stress relief is called “money in the bank” or “positive cash flow.”
2. Decide where you want to spend your money. Don’t let others decide for you. Know how much money you are bringing in, how much goes out and to where it goes. If you are not satisfied with the answers you get from this exercise, now is the time to change your spending habits. You (and your significant other) are ultimately responsible for how your money is spent.
3. Pay your bills on time, every time. Managing monthly bills is an essential part of staying debt free and maintaining a good credit rating. If you find this difficult, come up with a system to ensure that bills are not paid late.

Everyone knows the key to building wealth is through saving and investing. Yet last year, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis revealed that Americans had a negative savings rate for the first time since the Great Depression. So why aren’t people saving for their futures? While a number of excuses may be given, few are legitimate.
“Unless you’re working in a sweatshop and you’re getting paid 12 cents an hour, you can save,” says Rob Bennett, who writes the Financial Freedom Blog at PassionSaving.com.
Saving money
Before you can stop making excuses, you’ve got to understand just why your argument is not valid.
6 worthless excuses:
1. I don’t make enough money.
2. I’ll get around to it later.
3. I deserve a little luxury in my life.
4. Someone else will take care of it.
5. I’m saving through my 401(k).
6. This item or service will pay for itself.

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. “I’ve gone for 30 years now,” he wrote, “and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can’t remember a single one of them. So, I think I’m wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.” This started a real controversy in the “Letters to the Editor” column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: “I’ve been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this.. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today! “When you are DOWN to nothing…. God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment! All right … now that you’re done reading …..send it on!!! I think everyone should read this!!
