If money has been on your mind,
If you've been going over numbers,
Scenarios,
Trying to work everything out,
And it just won't switch off,
This is for you.
You don't need to solve anything tonight.
Right now,
You're allowed to rest.
You can begin by just getting comfortable.
However you're lying,
However your body wants to rest,
There's nothing you need to change,
Nothing you need to do.
Just allowing yourself to be here.
And if your mind is still busy going over things,
That's okay.
You don't need to stop it.
You're just gently stepping away,
Little by little,
Just bringing a soft awareness to your breathing,
Not forcing it,
Not changing it,
Just noticing.
And as you breathe out,
You might begin to feel a small release,
Even if it's only slight.
Your shoulders softening,
Your jaw loosening,
Your chest gently settling.
You don't have to try to relax.
Your body already knows how.
You're just giving it permission.
And if your mind keeps returning to money,
To numbers,
To things that feel unresolved,
That's okay.
You've been trying to work it out,
Trying to make sense of it,
Trying to find a way forward.
But just for now,
You don't need to figure anything out.
Nothing needs to be solved tonight.
The numbers can wait.
The decisions can wait.
Everything can pause,
Just for this moment.
Right now,
In this moment,
You are here,
Lying down,
Breathing.
And in this moment,
There is nothing you need to do.
You are allowed to rest,
Even if things feel uncertain.
You are allowed to sleep,
Even if everything isn't resolved.
Your mind doesn't need to keep searching.
It doesn't need to keep trying.
It can soften,
Just a little more.
And as your body continues to settle,
Your breathing becoming slower,
Deeper,
Softer,
Easier,
You may begin to notice a quiet heaviness,
A gentle pulling down into rest.
Thoughts can drift in and out without needing your attention,
Like distant echoes.
And you don't need to follow them.
You don't need to engage.
You can simply rest here,
Your body knowing exactly how to sleep,
Your mind no longer needing to hold everything.
And from here,
You don't need to listen to my voice anymore.
You can just drift in your own time,
In your own way,
And allow these gentle suggestions to continue working for you.
