Getting a Good Night's Sleep Part 4

Welcome to day four of learning to sleep well.

As soon as you wake up in the morning,

The mind is clear and I suggest you use that time for personal growth with practices such as meditation or yoga.

It is best not to check messages on your phone or turn on the TV for the first one hour after you wake up.

And waking up to an alarm clock which has a radio in it is not a good idea either.

In today's exercise of sleeping well,

I want you to review your day.

And I want you to focus today on the not so good experiences that you've had during the day.

One at a time,

I want you to replay those scenes that were not particularly pleasant.

And we will replay the scene with a little twist such that it has a positive outcome.

The way you would have liked it to turn out instead of the way that it actually ended up turning out.

This practice will neutralize the effect of the situation with positive energy.

So I want you to pick an incident,

One particular incident in which it was not really pleasant today.

Walk into that scene.

Who were you?

Who were you with?

What were you doing there?

Now change the way that you reacted to something that would have yielded a positive outcome in this episode.

And we acknowledge that scene with gratitude.

Learn the lesson.

Let go of any emotional sting.

Thank you.

I want you to find another episode that may not have had a pleasant ending today.

Walk into that scene.

Who were you with?

What were you doing there?

Change the way you reacted such that the outcome was completely different.

Being positive.

Let it go.

Thank you.

And repeat this experiment for as long as you need to,

To clear out all negative incidents from the day.

And notice at the end of it how you feel as you prepare to fall asleep.

Let's check back in again tomorrow.

Thank you.
