Hey everyone, I've been hearing from many of you lately about how stressed and anxious you're feeling. Perhaps it's all the political energy out there, or maybe the heaviness of managing all the daily tasks that are on your plate. Whatever it is, I want you to know that you're not alone. and I have the perfect podcast to recommend to you that will help you manage stress and anxiety.
It's called Meditation for Anxiety and it provides daily meditations that can help you dissolve all those worries and find deep peace. A recent favorite of mine is called Relieve Nighttime Anxiety and I've found it really helpful. So follow Meditation for Anxiety on your favorite podcast player, so you can have these incredible meditations on hand anytime you need them.
Welcome to Get Sleepy, where we listen, we relax, and we get sleepy. My name's Thomas, and I'm your host. Thank you so much for being here. Tonight's story will be read by Jessica. It's a unique story in which we'll be guided by a little robot who finds a woman it met long ago and goes on an adventure to bring happy memories back to her town.
We'll delve into the realm of memories and childhood, reminding us of the moments when we were most at peace in life. So, my friends, I hope you're feeling settled, relaxed, and at peace right now. If so, you might even sense yourself edging closer to sleep with each passing breath.
However, if you need a little bit of help to get closer to that state of relaxation and rest, then just follow along with me for the next few moments. Feel free to move around and adjust anything you need to find optimal comfort at this time. And with a gentle awareness of your breath, just reach a place of stillness and ease. by taking a few long and slow inhales and exhales.
Perhaps there is a fair bit of chatter and activity going on in your mind. Maybe you're trying to block out this busyness. But we all know that trying not to think about something typically has the opposite effect, and we end up in a bit of a battle with our own minds. So instead of pushing thoughts away altogether, how about we just do some calm, intentional thinking?
So first, I'd like you to think about your favorite color. Once you have that in mind, think of an object, or a fruit, an animal, or anything else that has or is your favorite color. Then, think of another object that begins with the same letter as the one you're thinking of now. Finally, consider what color this new object is. And, if you like, you can repeat all of those steps again.
thinking of another object of that color, then an object that begins with the same letter, and so on. This is just a small example of a calming, intentional game of thinking, and it may or may not work well for you. But just giving your brain some sort of easy relaxing task, if it feels busy with swirling thoughts, can be really effective at getting us to a more relaxed and restful state.
