Can you imagine going to bed and being able to put all the worries and stress aside? No doubt many people would love to be able to go to sleep and really rest. Anxiety and all the stress of the day can have an impact on the quality of your sleep and even cause you to have insomnia.
You can implement activities like sleep yoga, journaling, or some relaxing routine. If you’ve already tried everything and you just can’t fall asleep, you can use the following mantras or affirmations.
Choose one, lie down and prepare to sleep, and repeat that affirmation over and over again until you fall asleep. It is like a meditation but with a seed, that is, you have an intention to meditate and your mind will repeat it over and over again.
