sleeping well

Lately I have been getting the best sleep, and I think it’s because of my new sleep routine.

Before I go to sleep, I mentally end my day. I lay on my back, and I think about my day and let go of everything. I think about the events of the day, and I rate them. What did I do well? What could I have done better? If something good happened, I focus on it and I feel gratitude and happiness for that moment. If something bad happened, I take a mental note on how I can mitigate that in the future, and I move on. What’s done is done, and it’s already the past. I do not focus on the past any longer.

Next I think about my goals for the next day or the coming week. I visualize them happening, and I feel the happiness and excitement of my goals being met. I channel the law of attraction. I am so happy that I have this promotion. I love my new car. I am thankful for everything I have and everything I will have.

The past and future focus only take about five minutes each.

Presently, I want to sleep well so I set my intention for a deep sleep. I get into my sleeping position, usually on my side or stomach, and I count down from 100. I usually don’t wake up until my alarm goes off the next day, and I feel very well rested.

I think this is some form of meditation on the past, future, and present but I don’t pressure myself at all into doing any of it a certain way. I give everything the attention it deserves and I sleep well knowing that I did what I could and that I am striving to do better. The best feeling is knowing that all that is expected of me right now is to sleep, and I’m an excellent sleeper.
