Spend a lot of time thinking about how to help you not just sleep, but wind down and relax.
And I want you to have as many tools in your toolbox as you need for that one that I use a lot and I'm actually using right now as I record.
This is a weighted pillow.
I'm holding it on my lap as I tell your bedtime stories.
For me, it's easier to use than a weighted blanket.
I can take it with me when I go to yoga, lay it on my chest during Shavasana or at home I might hug it while I'm watching a movie.
The weight grounds and relaxes me.
I just want to give you ways to feel good.
So if you want to learn more about this, you can go to nothingmuchappens.com We've also got a link in our notes.

It works by giving your thoughts a rhythm to follow and all you need to do is listen.
