Trouble sleeping? Try this 5-minute meditation trick!
Last night I was wide awake at 2 AM, my mind racing with thoughts about my upcoming yoga teacher training and meal prep ideas for next week. After tossing and turning for what felt like forever, I decided to try a quick meditation. I sat up, closed my eyes, and focused on my breath for just 5 minutes - inhaling for 4 counts, holding for 2, then exhaling for 6. Whenever my mind wandered, I gently labeled it 'thinking' and returned to my breath. By the end, I felt so much calmer and sleepier. When I laid back down, I drifted off almost immediately! If you're struggling with insomnia, give this simple technique a try. Sometimes all we need is a few mindful moments to quiet our busy minds and relax into sleep. Sweet dreams, wellness warriors! 💤🧘♀️
Thanks for sharing this helpful tip! I've struggled with insomnia before and will definitely try this breathing technique next time I can't sleep. It's amazing how just a few minutes of mindfulness can make such a difference.
