Thank you for being here and welcome to Tapping into Sleep.
The intention of this session is to work on worries about tomorrow.
So I'm going to sleep,
But my mind won't sleep because it's worrying about tomorrow,
Trying to manage tomorrow,
Going through conversations in the mind about tomorrow with people,
Without people,
All of that.
So we're going to target that with tapping.
You don't need to do anything else than follow along,
Say what I say,
Tap where I tap.
Let's start.
All these worries about tomorrow.
I can't sleep.
I have to think about tomorrow.
All these worries about tomorrow.
I have to worry because what if I don't?
What will happen if I don't worry?
Things certainly won't turn out good tomorrow if I don't worry.
I have to worry because the more I worry,
The better tomorrow will be.
The more I worry,
The more fantastic tomorrow will become.
And here I am again.
Knowing that worry won't help,
But it's hard to stop.
It's hard to stop.
My mind seems to worry a lot.
I don't want to worry,
But I don't know how to turn it all off.
I wish I could because it's frustrating not being able to sleep.
Again.
Here I'm lying awake again.
Not being able to sleep again.
Because there's a tomorrow that I have to handle,
That I have to confront.
And I'm worried.
Maybe I can't stop worrying.
But maybe I can reduce the worrying.
Maybe I could wrap it in a box.
What if I put my worries inside a box,
Locked it,
And then placed it somewhere where I can retrieve it tomorrow if I need to?
Where could I put that box?
Can I dig it down into the earth?
Can I put it in the bottom of the ocean?
Should I send it to the moon?
This box of worries.
This box of worries.
I don't need to sleep with that box beside me.
I can put it away.
Those worries,
The frustration,
The stress,
All inside that box now.
Sending it away,
Putting it away.
Not denying its contents.
But for now,
I don't need it.
I choose sleep.
I allow myself to settle now.
I allow myself to let go and drift into sleep.
I invite sleepiness.
I invite sleep into my mind.
I invite sleep into my body.
It's safe to sleep.
It's safe to let go and relax right now.
I can get on,
Tuned on again tomorrow.
All those things inside that box.
There's a day tomorrow.
I can handle this tomorrow.
I can handle it tomorrow.
Not easy.
Easier said than done to let go.
Still,
I can allow myself to settle a bit more now.
I can allow it.
Because I am responsible for me.
I'm responsible and the one thinking my thoughts.
So that box,
Goodbye.
I'm choosing sleep now.
And I allow sleep to cover me like the most soft blanket.
Covered in sleep.
Tiredness.
Peacefulness.
Sounds good.
Notice how you feel.
And allow yourself
