The Rocco Effect - Stretch before bed

 A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow. - Charlotte Bronte


The Rocco Effect - Stretch Before Bed

We all know the importance of a good sleep, but sometimes getting that is easier said than done.  Lying in bed, overwhelmed by thoughts has kept everyone up at some point in their lives.  How do we clear our heads, so we can sleep?  You meditate and clear your head.

But it's not always thoughts that keep us up.  Sometimes we have to much energy stored up inside us.  Being active throughout the day will minimize this.  Stretching before bed will serve as a 'cool down' and rest your body.  Not only will it rest your body, stretching improves your physical performance, decreases your risk of injury, and helps your joints move through their full range of motion. 


Task

Stretch and focus on your breath before bed.  If i thought enters your head, return focus back to your breath.  Stretch your head and work your way down to your toes.

1. Notice how rested you feel

2. Notice as your head gets less cluttered, each day.

3. Notice how quickly you fall asleep.

Bonus - Everything is on loan

Whenever you are in a state of truly loving life remind yourself 'This is all on loan.'  Be grateful and take in all you can, cause one day, memories is all you'll have left.

And who knows maybe you just might learn something from it all. 1st of the line test.  This helps me picture whats going to happen and lets me test out wether the animations work or not.  Also alot easier to make changes at this stage as its so basic. I then move on to a fleshed out version.  Basically the final version without the details.  This allows me to see how the final version will look and allows me to make any changes before the final version, were it will be much harder to change as there is a-lot more detail in it. I then add some basic colours to show me how it looks coloured.  This allows me to see what changes need to be made to the outlines. And finally the final version.  Cleaned up lines and the final colours.  I wish i had more time to spend on the lines and th...
