I had trouble sleeping last night.
I have lots on my plate this week and I was thinking of all the stuff I had to do. I know I'll be able to get my priorities done because I always do but the mind was working through all the negative outcomes. I would read and slowly get tired but then wake back up once I put my Kindle down. It probably didn't help that the book I was reading was getting me excited and giving me more ideas. I also tried a technique where I start thinking about things I'm grateful for starting with each letter of the alphabet but that did not work either. The mind kept coming back to other thoughts. So how did I finally fall asleep? I'm not sure if it was one thing that worked or a combination but I first took a melatonin and moved to the couch so I wouldn't have to worry about keeping Natasha awake. I then put something funny on Netflix and had a small snack as I knew this would change my state and focus my mind elsewhere. I did make it through the entire show but I fell asleep shortly after this. When I woke up to the alarm, I did my usual routine. As part of my routine I use Calm to meditate in the morning. After the mediation they always have a quote to share. Today's was perfect... Comments are closed.
