If you’ve been implementing this recently, or want to start, here are some tips I’ve found helpful: • Put your phone in a separate room on airplane mode before you go to sleep. If you need an alarm, try an analog alarm. • In the morning, be a witness to your mind. Just observe what it’s doing. In the beginning, it may feel like it’s going crazy a bit. That’s normal. • Be compassionate with yourself. You’re creating a completely different habit. It will take time to adjust. Speaking to yourself negatively will just make things worse. It’s okay to not know the answer. • Focus on long and slow exhales through the nose. • The first 40 days will be the most challenging. Stay committed to the practice. View quoted note →
