The good night Mantra you need to try for a better sleep

 Hello fellow survivors. I have been living my mental health recovery journey for past 3-4 years now. The past 3 years, I've actively taken help from professionals and I will always be proud of myself for that. If you are somebody who struggles with sleeplessness or broken sleep, you should consider this good night mantra to calm your nerves before bed. 

This one night, i was unable to sleep even after trying to keep my phone aside and curling up in my blanket. All of  a sudden, I started thinking of the future and as usual felt more anxious. In this situation I thought maybe I should take an emergency pill before
the symptoms get worse, but no, I didn't know if the severity of my anxiety demanded pills or not. So, I started thinking of other ways to calm myself. Deep breathing, counting, blowing, I tried it all. I was almost on the verge of crying when suddenly this thought hit me up. Tomorrow, is a new day, I get to start fresh. This one sentence, immediately did something magical to my brain. Even a pill would have taken some time to relieve me from my anxiety traps. 

I know this sounds so generic and common, almost Sandeep Maheshwari coded motivation. But, what this mantra does to me every time I struggle falling asleep is definitely not common. I start feeling the knots loosen up and sliding away, the ones that held my brain prisoner. I feel myself floating in the hope of tomorrow's new start. Think what you need every time you are fed up of your life? It's a new start, a new opportunity to start fresh. When we trick our mind into thinking that we can start fresh from tomorrow, it gives up on the guilts of the past and the anxiety of the future and starts feeling excited about the possibilities of tomorrow.
