How To Sleep After A Stressful Day
Stress is part of every person’s life these days, it is irrespective of your age, profession and your income. The psychologists who counsel their patients taking stress come home and deal with stress in their own lives. The rich and the poor are both stressed. The teenager is finding it hard to sleep at night because of the exam stress.
People have got it all wrong thinking that getting good grades will eliminate stress from their life or that having a decent job will help them live a life without stress. Stress enters our life as something uncommon but if not dealt with in the right way it ends up becoming a pattern. This means even when we are not in a stressful situation, because our brain has become so habitual to stress, it is now going to feel it even during the slightest troubles.
The best way to deal with stress is through involving an activity in your life that maintains the balance. For example, exercise, meditation, zumba, painting or any recreational activity. It balances out your feelings throughout the day or weekly and leaves you with more room in your head while dealing with a problematic situation.
While these are some helpful advices for the long run, somedays can be typically challenging leaving you sleepless. For some of us nights full of overthinking becomes a usual. How to get out of something like this?
Lie down straight on the bed with your arms and legs spread out, even your fingers. Close your eyes and imagine all the stress, worries and tension travelling from the middle of your body and the brain to the tips of your fingers and toes. And feel the lightness in your body. Keep repeating this until you fall asleep. Also for it to be more effective, speak aloud how all the stress is leaving your body and your body is feeling light.
This is a practice I found out through a meditation session and you are free to improvise it in whichever way you like. You can visualise it as all the stress releasing from the centre of your body as light. This works as a magic, you are going to feel as if something is actually travelling out of your body.
Not only it helps you fall asleep but it ensures a deep sound sleep for you as your last thoughts before sleeping help your brain feel relaxed.
