THE SECRET OF SOUND SLEEP?

How to Sleep Well

A CLEAR CONSCIENCE IS THE SOFTEST PILLOW

By

VIKRAM KARVE

As you lie down on your bed at the end of the day, before you go to sleep, close your eyes and think of the events of the day.?

Is there anything on your conscience??

Is there something you wish you had not done?

Decide what you are going to do about it to clear your conscience.?

If you cannot do anything about it just forget it and resolve not to do it again.?

And then, with a clear conscience, go to sleep.

I heard a Russian saying once:

A clear conscience is the softest pillow.

Mahatma Gandhi has said:?Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.?

In order to be happy you must ensure that there is no discrepancy between these three things:?

1. what you?THINK

2. what you?SAY

3. what you?DO

So make sure you?do not create conflict between your thoughts,?your words and your deeds.?

Speak out only what is in your mind and try to do what you say.?

Say what you think and do what you say.

Sometimes you may think something but you may say something else which is at variance from what is your mind for the sake of politeness or maybe for social graces.

But this?inner hypocrisy?will cause you internal stress owing to the?dissonance between your thought and deed.?

It is best to be truthful and straightforward.?

Be outspoken and speak out your mind.

But if for some reason you cannot speak out what is in your mind then is it better to remain silent.

Similarly, you must do what you say.

You must always walk your talk.

Otherwise this?external hypocrisy?will not only tarnish your reputation but will also lower yourself in your own eyes. So, Dear Reader, it is best to avoid both internal hypocrisy and external?hypocrisy. Remember:?A clear conscience is the softest pillow
