not sleeping again. my brain just wont shut off. i am wound up like a top.
Thinking, thinking, thinking. It never ends does it?
think i’ll go make some tea. i think i have some berry tea i might try. self care is good, right? i tried to relax, now its time to try something else.
mom is coming over this morning for a couple hours. she wants to cut the grass. i told her its short no need to cut it but she said she has to keep on top of it.
she’s so good to me without her I wouldnt have anyone to cut my grass and keep it nice and tidy.
i’m thinking about joining a choir. the place where i get my voice coaching has an adult choir, they sing mostly pop. i think i’d like to join if its not too expensive.
of course first i have to find time…

To much thinking. Make sure and get some exercise during the day. It helps me sleep much better. Thanks for the post.

I do try to exercise when I can come right now I can’t because my back is giving me trouble. It’s hard to walk or do any level of exercise. Thanks for the comment x

When I can’t fall asleep, which is often, I try to shut out all the thoughts in my head by picturing the ocean, my favorite place. I have a hard time picturing things in my head so when I really really focus on it and I see it the next thing I know I’m asleep. Try picturing your favorite place and focusing on it. I hope you find something that helps you fall asleep.

Thanks so much. My safe place is Disney World in Florida. I’ve been there twice. I will try to picture that and try to fall asleep thinking about it

I’m sorry you experienced insomnia. Hope you sleep better tonight. The idea of joining a choir sounds great. I was in achildren’s choir for several years in my youth. Now I can’t sing to save my life, but well.

Ooh I know it when you want to fall asleep but can’t stop thinking. It’s awful. I hope you found something that helped you to fall asleep. 🙂 The idea to join the choir is very good. 🙂

I use an app that can play a variety of soothing sounds… waves, gentle rain, white noise, wind, etc… it helps my mind to calm down and if I do wake in the night it creates an environment of calmness. I also use a salt lamp on low at night… not sure if it’s a combination of the two or one versus the other… but it’s working for now😊 I wish you a peaceful rest!

Relax melodies is the app I use … I know they have several out there that are free … the one I’m using has free things on it as well as an upgrade. I use the free version as it’s meeting my needs. And yes a salt lamp is awesome 😃
