7 Life Lessons Learned From Sleeping on the Floor

I will tell you all of them — no strings attached

Before we begin, I would like to address the elephant in the room as I have had this conversation, many times…

Now we can proceed.

Growing up, sleepovers were synonymous with adventure and thrill. Although they were quite clearly clever ploys created by our parents to get us out of the house for an evening, they were exciting.

Sleepovers were chock-full of nervous energy, sugar rushes, subsequent crashes, and the utmost bending of the truth as to what we were allowed to do at home. After packing an overnight bag (with a perfect ratio of 90% games/toys, 10% everything else) came the daunting reminder of what was to come… bedtime.

The same question always lingered:

If you were like me growing up, you too had a very hard time falling asleep, especially outside of the comfort zone of your own home. Before a sleepover, I would obsess over every little detail.

Not to mention…

The lighting situation, comfortability, and potential creepiness of someone else’s house would haunt me, all week long.

Today, I’m thankful for these experiences as they have helped me to develop a mental process to overcome anticipatory feelings of nervousness and anxiety. I call it “Remembering to E.N.J.O.Y. the Moment”.
