I love to write and I love to speak so what better way to kill some free time than to write a book about public speaking?  I just finished it and got the site up yesterday.

If you have ever watched someone get up in front of a crowd and speak so confidantly and thought “I wish I could do that.” then I suggest you check this book out.  I used to be so shy that I wouldn’t even get in front of a group of my two best friends.  I stressed out over this for years and finally decided to get out there and do it.   Since then I have won numerous awards for my speeches and have used my skills to honor loved ones in different settings.   It’s a fantastic feeling to have that confidence.

Before the book was released it was reviewed by others for critique.  It has already changed the way people view public speaking and proves that it is not as scary as society has perceived it.

Good afteroon everyone.    I have been discussing sleep disorders with a lot of people offline.   A good friend of mine insists the only way to get a good nights sleep in this day and age is to take medicine.    I couldn’t disgree more.   Now I recognize that some people actually suffer from medical conditions that will not permit restful sleep unless they take some type of medicine prescribed by their physician.    But I’m talking about people who take cold medicine or allergy medicine to fall sleep.   The scary thing is these people have convinced themselves that this is okay and perfectly healthy.

My friend takes an allergy medicine every day to fall asleep.   At first it only took one, then it eventually took two to get the same effects.   Now he eats them like candy several hours before bedtime just to fall asleep.   In spite of all that he still never gets a good nights sleep and always looks half-dead.

His body has built such high tolerance medicine and it takes more and more and more pills just to produce the same effects.   Does this sound healthy?

I have tried on numerous occasions to talk him out of this dangerous habit , but he is convinced that this is the way it has to be.

The truth is all most people need to do is make some minor lifestyle changes.   For instance stop drinking caffeinated beverages or coffee, especailly late at night.   Start an exercise progran.   It is a little known fact that exercise will help you sleep better at night.

That’s it for today.   I’m going outside to enjoy the sunshine!

Happy 1st of September to everyone!   Mike T Smith here with another quick tip.

If you find yourself lain in bed and you can’t sleep try closing your eyelids really tight.    Really tight!   I mean close them as if you were about to be nailed with a left hook from Rocky Balboa and you knew there was nothing you could do about it.   Well, don’t think about that because, after all the point is to relax, but you get the point.

When I was first told about this trick I really didn’t believe it would work.    However when you have been lain in bed for two and a half hours you’ll try anything.    I tried it and it really works.    You’re eyes will immediately begin to feel heavy.

I challenge anyone to try this and give me the kudos if it works for you.  Let me take this time to encourage everyone once again to participate in all of our conversations.

Sweet Dreams,

Mike
