What does science say about the impact of mindset on sleep?
And so I know there's a lot of really big things on your mind. There are a lot of things that are worrying you, that are keeping you up at night. And so if you're noticing... that, God, I'm more critical of myself. Boy, it's hard to turn off the rumination. Hey, I'm really worrying a lot for a person who always seems to figure it out. Or maybe you've got a lot of big stuff going on right now. I've got two very close friends who are dealing with medical diagnoses, Alzheimer's, stage four cancer in their parents, and it's keeping them up at night. Of course it's keeping them up at night. You're not alone. And our conversation today is for you. And it's for the people in your life who are also having trouble with negative thoughts at night.
So first, here's what I want you to do. I want you to just imagine as you are listening to me, maybe you're on a walk right now, maybe you're driving in your car, maybe you're at a job and you got one earbud in and you're listening to this, or maybe you're watching on YouTube. But I want you to fast forward and just imagine.
How do I stop negative rumination at bedtime?
Imagine that you are getting into bed. You know, you've pulled into bed and oh my gosh, you know, you're so excited. You're like, oh my God, I'm so grateful. So grateful I'm going to be in my bed. And maybe like me, you love these mists. I would steal these from the hotels. They're in your room, but I take it anyway. As if this magical mist is going to somehow make you nod off to sleep. It's going to be amazing. You got your eye mask on. For me, I always have to take off my wedding ring.
