Finding Peace at Night: Sleep Tips from Addiction Secrets and Mindset Hacks
It's really important that you breathe through your nose, you start with your belly and then you go up to your lungs and your head and then you exhale through your mouth and do deep breaths in and out for minutes.
Struggling to fall asleep at night? You're definitely not alone. Many people find it hard to quiet their minds before bed, leading to restless nights and groggy mornings. In this episode of 'Addiction Secrets and Mindset Hacks', Davud Grošić, a stay-at-home dad and seasoned addiction coach, shares practical tips to help you get the rest you need. Davud dives into identifying the root causes of an overactive mind, often pinpointing stress as the main culprit. His first piece of advice?
Grab a piece of paper and jot down everything that's on your mind. Whether it's worries, to-do lists, or random thoughts, getting it all out can be incredibly freeing. Next, Davud suggests asking yourself, 'What's the worst that can happen?' This simple question can help put your worries into perspective, making them seem less daunting. Another great tip is to plan your next day before you go to bed.
Writing down your tasks can make you feel more organized and less anxious. For those moments when you need to unwind, Davud recommends finding a quiet spot or playing some relaxing music while doing deep breathing exercises. Start by breathing through your nose, filling your belly first, then your lungs, and finally your head before exhaling through your mouth. Repeat this for a few minutes to help calm your mind.
And if you're in the habit of watching TV or engaging in other stimulating activities before bed, consider swapping them out for something more relaxing like reading a book or taking a warm bath. By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to a peaceful night's sleep. Tune in to hear all of Davud's advice and start sleeping better tonight.
