Mindful Tip: Bedtime is a common time to get night anxiety because suddenly, all of our convenient distractions from our worries are gone and it’s just us, our pillows and our worries. The key is not to panic!
Mindful Wisdom: The mind is like a wild stallion; it must be held back.
Mindful Action: while in bed do not think about things you need to do the next day while trying to sleep. It helps me to write down everything that I'm worried about on a piece of paper, tell myself I will worry about it in the morning, and give myself permission to not think about it all until then. Also, with nothing else on your mind, just focus on your breath as you lay there. Imagine nothing else existing besides your breath. Breath in as deep and as slow as you can.
