Good morning!

I wanted to share a breakthrough in my absolute quest to get better sleep CONSISTENTLY.

Last night, I told myself you're not getting INTO bed until you are ready to be IN bed without phone, with meditation on, earbuds OUT, phone on airplane mode!

So what I did is I sat in my chair. Listened to a podcast. Wrote in my journal.

So basically what I'm doing is SUPPORTING myself, titrating myself down from falling asleep with earbuds in and youtube on... to .. being in bed without phone, drifting off to a short sleep meditation.

I'm sharing this because if you're tried getting better sleep before, but the fact is it isn't happening, THIS is what is actually helping to make the change for me. Is to let myself even "stay up a bit" but NOT let myself be IN bed until either I'm actually ready to sleep (or at least could be) or 10 pm...

I noticed how being on my chair felt like respect to my system. It wasn't TOO much of a shock from what I'd naturally been doing before. So it felt scaffolded during this change rather than the ONLY "fun" being RIPPED from it 😅

Anyway, all I know for sure is that I did it last night. And it DOES feel good to do what we CAN do to help ourselves get good sleep. 🥰

I will do the same thing tonight, since this particular way gets very little resistance from my system 🤔

Love you guys!!
