So as one insomniac to another that tosses and turns and is wide awake at 2a.m like clockwork, a one Under8ted advised me to practice mind over matter techniques. Basically this concept frees oneself from material ideologies and beliefs shaped by either our experiences or societal expectations. An example of this would be a woman having to be married by 30, success being measured by the amount of wealth amassed or conservative/ religious beliefs that you should not have a child out of wedlock. For the latter i am all for "to each his own...your womb your choice"
I realize that i spend a lot of time trying to catch up with my very fast paced mind and even when i am supposed to be asleep i am subconsciously drawing up budgets or rehearsing a pitch and wake up as exhausted as one that has been exercising. If only this came with the same results.Because of all this and a combination of things i constantly have stress migraines so if i have tried everything else from meds to putting myself to sleep(term used very loosely) why not try some of these techniques
I read up on them and yoga, breathing exercises all made the list but i choose to go with adjusting my thought process, living with no limitations, not over-thinking things and this brings me back to "if you don't mind it doesn't matter"
The mind is a powerful tool that will wheel your fears into existance. Doubt starts as a mere thought that is inflated into insecurity, self consciousness and mistrust. Why i ask wud i choose to give anyone or anything that satisfaction?
One of my mantras used to be "why worry when you can pray about it and if you pray about it , why worry". Might sound too simplistic but if its what i need to sleep at night, literally, then i say lets do this
