health. Getting enough sleep can help your mood and reduce your

stress level. It may also help you stay healthy by keeping your immune

system strong.

However, most people have trouble sleeping occasionally. It may be

due to temporary stress, worry, or an irregular schedule – but if the

inability to sleep well continues for weeks or months, it can become a

health problem.

Sometimes poor sleep becomes a problem in itself, and dwelling on

it only makes it worse. Changing your beliefs about sleep and your

everyday behaviors can improve your sleep dramatically. Whatever the

cause, there are things you can do:

Improve the quality of your sleep

The following measures may help you sleep more soundly and wake

up feeling more refreshed:

n Minimize noise in the house, or mask it with a steady low noise

such as a fan on slow speed, or a radio tuned to quiet static.

Use comfortable earplugs if needed.

n Move the TV and computer out of your bedroom.

n Keep your bedroom quiet, dark, comfortable, and cool. Use curtains

or blinds to block out light. Consider using soothing music or a

“white noise” machine to block out noise. If you can’t darken the

room, try a sleep mask.

n Use a pillow and mattress that are comfortable for you.

n Set aside time for problem-solving earlier in the day and don’t carry

anxious thoughts to bed. Try writing down your worries in a “worry

book,” then set it aside well before bedtime.

n If you can’t fall asleep, or you wake up in the middle of the night

and don’t get back to sleep quickly, get out of bed and go to

another room until you feel sleepy.

Your evening and bedtime routine

Having an evening routine and a set bedtime will help your body

get used to a sleeping schedule. You may want to ask others in your

household to help you with your routine.

n Unwind from the day. Take a warm shower or bath, listen to

soothing music, or drink a cup of non-caffeinated tea

before bedtime.

n Don’t do stressful or energizing activities in the evening.

n Go to bed at the same time every night. And get up at the same

time every morning, even if you feel tired.

If you can’t sleep

n Imagine yourself in a peaceful, pleasant place. Focus on the details

and feelings that are relaxing.

n Get up and do a quiet or boring activity until you feel sleepy.

n If you wake up often because you have to go to the bathroom,

don’t drink any liquids after 6 p.m.

Your activities during the day

Your habits and activities can affect how well you sleep. Here are

some tips:

n Exercise during the day, but not after 5 p.m. because it may be

harder to fall asleep.

n Get outside during daylight hours. Spending time in sunlight helps

to reset your body’s sleep and wake cycles.

n Limit anything that has caffeine in it, such as coffee, tea, cola,

and chocolate.

n Don’t drink alcohol before bedtime. Alcohol can cause you to wake

up more often during the night.

n Don’t smoke or use tobacco, especially in the evening. Nicotine can

keep you awake.

n Don’t take naps during the day, especially close to bedtime.

n Don’t take medicine that may keep you awake, or make you feel

hyper or energized, right before bed. Your doctor can tell you if your

medicine may do this and if you can take it earlier in the day.

If you have chronic insomnia, it may be caused by an underlying

factor such as depression, anxiety, or pain. Your insomnia will probably

improve or disappear when the cause is treated successfully. If you

can’t sleep because you are in pain or have an injury, if you often feel

anxious at night or have bad dreams, talk to your doctor.

Tanya Fussell says:

Try lighting a beautiful and fragrant all natural soy candle just before bed time.  Soak in a nice warm bath with a lovely nature-based bath an shower gel.  Have some soft Jazz music playing in the background.  Just sit back, relax and enjoy.

After your bath prepare yourself for bed but before you do, be sure you give yourself a loving hands treatment and make sure you put on some comfy cotton gloves.  You will feel refreshed and your hands will feel like silk in the morning!

People work so hard for what they want out life that they tend to forget about themselves.  Woman especially tend to wear themselves out.  Many woman, especially Mothers who work outside the home need that “me time” but normally end up catering towards the “they time” not thinking about taking some time out to pamper themselves.

Pampering yourself well is not just about going to a spa for a day of pampering because that can happen in the comfort of your own home.  It’s really about caring for yourself inside and out.

- Nadine Thompson

Exeter, NH (BlackNews.com) – National Personal Care and Wellness Company Soul Purpose® announced today its unprecedented growth during times when many companies are experiencing layoffs and cutbacks. A privately held company, Soul Purpose does not publically disclose financial statements. However, Soul Purpose® President, Nadine Abraham Thompson stated that the company has experienced a gain in sales in excess of 25% for the first two months of 2009. Soul Purpose began sales of their nature based line of high quality personal care products less than one year ago in May 2008. Today, Thompson states that their entrepreneurs have sold over $1 million dollars in products in less than 12 months of phased in sales. This is unprecedented for a start-up direct sales company especially in these challenging financial times.

The rapid rise in sales and recruiting can be attributed to several factors, stated Nadine Thompson, “In an economic downturn such as the one we are experiencing, we generally see an increase in the number of people seeking additional income streams, often outside of mainstream business. With the unemployment rate currently hovering around 8.1% nationwide and foreclosures at an all time high, a lot of people are looking for a way to make ends meet. Soul Purpose provides that opportunity for them.”

Is network marketing recession-proof? Over the past 12 months, the number of unemployed persons has increased by 4.1 million and the unemployment rate has risen by 2.7 percentage points. While traditional companies are downsizing, the number of people turning to network marketing has steadily increased during that same period. In fact, some are saying the next 5 years will be the golden age of network marketing.

Soul Purpose’s increase in sales has come primarily from their core personal care and wellness products, as well as the addition of Tru Chocolate, a healthy weight management chocolate that has taken the nation by storm. Known as the “Guilt-Free Chocolate,” TRÛ Nutrition’s TRÛ Chocolate was originally created as a healthy and tasty treat for calorie conscious people. Today, it is a delicious treat everyone can enjoy, boasting many healthful benefits not found in other chocolates. Each serving contains only 36 calories, an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score of 3040, and a proprietary herbal blend that promotes healthy blood-sugar levels without sugar or artificial sweeteners. As a result, TRÛ Chocolate is becoming increasingly popular amongst dieters and health-conscious consumers everywhere.

Soul Purpose also attributes its success to their partnership with Youngevity Life Sciences®, well known in the network marketing industry for its emphasis on high-quality mineral and liquid nutritional products, is the only MLM company to achieve authorized Health Claims through the FDA.

Dr. Joel Wallach and Dr. Ma Lan founded Wellness Lifestyles Inc. in April of 1997, which then adopted the global brand “Youngevity” in April 2006. Youngevity®, now a leading designer of dietary supplements and cutting-edge personal care and wellness lifestyle products, was founded with the intent to help people “Live Younger Longer!”, and markets worldwide through a network of independent distributors. With Global headquarters in Chula Vista, California, Youngevity® holds international offices in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

Soul Purpose’s Founder, Nadine Thompson, who rose to national prominence as the co-founder, president and CEO of Warm Spirit-a unique direct sales company launched a new socially-responsible enterprise entitled SOUL PURPOSE LIFESTYLE COMPANY in January 2008. The new company’s focus is on ensuring individual, community, national and global empowerment through the offering of a direct sales business model.

SOUL PURPOSE has four components: Body…innovative bath and body products with beautiful, elegant and distinctive fragrances; Beauty…organically inspired skin care products for both women and men. Organic earth minerals for a natural approach to beauty cosmetics; Style…soft silk throws handcrafted in India, and organic teas from Viet Nam, organic wild-crafted honey from West Africa; Spirit…journals, candles, inspirational music, books and tapes-a holistic line that addresses all aspects of beauty from the inside out.

Says Thompson: “My hope is that SOUL PURPOSE will be the kind of company that will challenge people to redefine the things that really matter in life. Redefine the notion of beauty, sense of style and empowerment.”

SOUL PURPOSE will create a “green company” from the ground up…beginning with the product line. All products will be natural and botanically based, as well as organic, and sulfate and paraben free. “We will use recycled paper, vegetable-based inks and a recycling program for all of our product containers for our customers and distributors,” says Thompson.

SOUL PURPOSE, while appreciating the need for empowerment in the African American community, understands that this need is applicable to all women, in all communities. The company is dedicated to providing entrepreneurial opportunities and resources to empower people (with a focus on African-American, Hispanic, Asian and Native American women), and will create a global network of empowerment partners by building community with its consultants and vendors.

As a socially-responsible direct selling company, Soul Purpose will redefine empowerment in support of fulfilling individual purpose and vision through the marketing of exquisite, quality products illuminating body, beauty, style and spirit…one person at a time.

Yes that’s right, I became a Diamond Executive Leader in January 2009 for Soul Purpose Lifestyle Company just like I wanted to! Well actually I wanted to in September 2008, but January was truly my personal Diamond month and I made it! It took a little extra work towards the end of the month due to a very unpleasant last minute occurance, but it happened regardless and I am so excited! I want to thank everybody that helped me during those last few days and crucial hours, including myself…LOL, my Family and Friends as well as my Business Partners Marlene Jackson, Traci DeGraphenreid, Dinika Ellison, Joy Daniels, Rosemary Allen-Jenkins and the fabulous Toni Coleman-Brown for all of your help and support!

Network Marketing is about TEAMWORK and helping each other and I am so glad that I have business partners who are in the water with me! I am also very thrilled that my Sponsor Toni Coleman-Brown also got her promotion to Double-Diamond, because she truly deserved it and I was happy to help her make that happen!

Remember, we cannot be in this business only to be self-serving no matter what the circumstance. Always be rooting for people, always be helping people as best you can because your time to shine is coming. It will come in due time and do your best to be sure it arrives when you want it to. Do not let anyone or anything control what you want to do. It’s up to you to make it happen. Having people rooting for you and wanting to help you get there is just the icing on the cake.

I remember how I found out about Soul Purpose. I was sitting at my computer one day and happened to do a Google search on a company I was with for all of 6 months. That company was Warm Spirit, Inc. Instead of searching the company name, I searched for Nadine Thompson herself thinking of course that she was still with that company. I had no clue that she was no longer with the now closed Warm Spirit, Inc. I visited her web site, read her story and wanted to learn more! I remember how excited I was after the initial conference call about Soul Purpose. I listened intently, loved what I heard and joined that same week! That was in February 2008. Not long after that I went on a mission to enroll as many people as possible into the Visionary Circle with me! I enrolled over 30 people within a 2 month period of time and now my organization is even larger and continues to grow!

I also remember becoming a Managing Associate within the 1st 2 1/2 weeks of May 2008, after the company started sales production! I even remember the very first Lifestyle party I conducted using only the Journey of the Senses 9 Signature Fragrances, the Pollen Burst, only a few items from the Mineral Makeup Collection, some brochures and order forms! It went pretty well and I was pleased.

Hosting one of the initial Soul Purpose Lifestyle Company launch parties was so much fun and everybody LOVED the products which made me even more determined to see this business through! I am still so excited about this business and have gone the extra mile to help others in this business as well! I also want to thank again my promoting partners, Traci DeGraphenreid who is also a Visionary who was determined to promote to Managing Associate, Joy Daniels, who is on Traci’s frontline, who was also determined to promote to Managing Associate. And of course I have to thank my promoting partner Marlene Jackson, who is also a Visionary and became a Managing Associate during the month of January!

Ok, it is time to get back to business! It is the year 2009 and it is time to become a Diamond Executive Leader with Soul Purpose Lifestyle Company. I am attending an event in New York tomorrow and will once again see Nadine Thompson herself! Myself and another Soul Purpose Lifestyle Entrepreneur from my state will be speaking with Nadine about coming out here to Connecticut for an event soon. We really need to put Connecticut on the map in a big way with Soul Purpose. It is SO warm over here! The products are fantastic, the compensation plan is fantastic and I am so excited about this year, I really am.

Today I was confronted once again with the fact that I was not made to work for someone else. It’s time for change! It’s time to get back 2 business and really make things happen this year!

As I take this time to reflect back on this past year (2008) I realize that I did not accomplish everything I was set out to do, but I do know that I am changing as a person. They say the body changes every 7 years, I guess I thought that was just the physical body, but I believe it’s all a person’s state of mind that changes right along with it. I feel more like a woman as I age. I may not have the best love in my life as regards my marriage, but I do have love. I may not be as spiritual minded as I once was, but I am spiritual. I may not be as weak as I once was because I am a lot stronger. I may not be a giving as I once was but I am still giving. I may not be able to dance like I used to or be as spontaneous as I used to be, but I can still dance and I still love the little spur of the moment fun times.

So much has happened in 2008. A few days ago I was on Youtube during my break time (at home) and decided to look up some old school hip hop. Not only did I find everything I was looking for, but I had my Daughter dancing with me to many of the songs. I mean I went WAY BACK! Then I got back to work.

Last night reminded me of why I am not going to quit. First of all, I had a Lifestyle Party to conduct. I drove way out to Bronx, NY for it. Half the guests were over an hour late, I was very tired by nights end, got lost on the way home and still did some grocery shopping before I finally reached the front door! The result of that night? Sales were made and 2 bookings for more Lifestyle Parties were produced.

On top of that, a lot of people had let me down BUT something good came from it. The business opportunity call I conducted last Monday night produced a new business partner! but get this, she is coming on board and wants to bring 4 people with her!

It was a lonely Monday night business opportunity call that I had conducted. My outline was ready, I was ready. I invited 4 prospects to the call and was hoping they would all make it. I also informed my team about the call and asked them to invite their prospects too, but none of my team members were able to make it on the call that night and more obviously neither were their prospects. Did that deter me? Of course not!

Here is what happened with the 1 person who took the time out to listen and learn more about Soul Purpose:

1. She loved what she heard – I then invited her to attend an event where the President and CEO of the company, Nadine Thompson was going to be.

2. She listened and went to the event and had a great time! It was very exciting for her.

3. She called me that same evening very excited about joining Soul Purpose.

4. We talked and she had already spoken with 4 people and these people are waiting for her to come on board so they could sign up under her!

All it took was 1 person and all it took was for me to make her a part of a list of prospects that I wanted to invite on that call. All I did was invite her and look what happened!

See I already have my why for working the business. I already know what needs to be done to accomplish my goals. When times get tough so what, because times WILL get tough. That’s just the way it is.

There will be disappointments along the way, but because everything I do leads right back to the beginning of why I joined this business in the first place. I always think about my Daughter. I always think about retiring my Father before I bury my Father, I always think of the time freedom I want, I always think of wanting to fire my boss, I always think of being able to help provide for my family, I always think about change, wanting something different, enjoying what I do because I do, wanting to DO something different to change my circumstances and making it happen.

My why and my reasons are strong and I am ready to take it to another level. I have a “keep it moving, never give up type of attitude” and that is a great attitude to have.
