Now, a quick word from our sponsors...
This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. It's clear that mental health awareness is growing, but there's still progress to be made. In a recent survey, 26% of Americans said they have avoided seeking mental health support due to fear of judgment. So this Mental Health Awareness Month, let's encourage everyone to take care of their well-being and break the stigma.
The world is better when people are healthy and happy. Personally, I've always found therapy to be a powerful and positive tool whenever I've chosen to speak to a professional, and that includes my sessions with a BetterHelp therapist a few years ago. BetterHelp is fully online, making therapy affordable and convenient, and serving over 5 million people worldwide.
We're all better with help, so visit betterhelp.com slash getsleepy to get 10% off your first month. That's betterhelp.com slash getsleepy. Welcome to Get Sleepy, where we listen, we relax, and we get sleepy. My name's Thomas, and it's my pleasure to be your host. This week we have a trio of stories written by the wonderful Joe Steer. The first, tonight's, will be read by Simon.
Soon we'll travel to Tanzania in Africa, where we'll be reunited with an old friend. Tembo the Elephant is the best tour guide that anyone could hope for, and tonight he'll guide you across his homeland. You'll see a pool of hippos and a herd of wildebeest, a volcanic crater, and a natural hot spring. Don't worry if you haven't heard the first story with Tembo just yet.
You can listen to this one first, and go back to that one another time, should you wish. We'll join Tembo shortly. But first, let's enjoy a few moments to relax and ease ourselves towards sleep. So close your eyes if you've not yet done so, and take a slow, steady inhale, holding for a moment, and then releasing just as slowly and steadily. Notice how it feels to enjoy a long, deep breath.
Perhaps you sense tension flowing out with the air, or an inner stillness that's already there. Maybe it will take you a few more deep breaths to feel the calming benefit And that's okay. In your own time, soften your body more and more. The day is done now, and the only task remaining is to allow the space for rest to enter. so that you can wake up tomorrow refreshed and ready for a new day.
And before you drift off to sleep with our dreamy tale, I'd like you to just briefly think of a short sentence or statement to mentally make note of. And this note will be for yourself, for when you wake up tomorrow morning. And it shouldn't be a reminder of something you need to get done. More of a positive affirmation type of note. Something you just suspect you'd like to hear when you wake up.
however you're feeling right now, just let this note to yourself be something that will bring you a positive start to your day tomorrow. I'll give you a moment just to consider that. And once you have thought of that short sentence or statement for yourself, mentally tuck it away.
