概要

 Welcome back, friend. I'm Julia, and I'm so glad you're here with me today. It's Tuesday evening, that strange pocket of time when your day is winding down but your mind might still be spinning like a ceiling fan on high. You know that feeling, right? When sleep seems like a distant country and your thoughts keep replaying the day on repeat. Well, today we're going to change that together.

Before we dive in, I want you to find a comfortable seat or lie down somewhere that feels safe. Maybe it's your bed, maybe it's your couch. Wherever you are right now is exactly where you need to be. Give yourself permission to be here, fully and completely.

Let's start by taking three intentional breaths together. In through your nose for a count of four, holding it for a moment like you're savoring the scent of fresh bread, then out through your mouth slowly, like you're releasing the day with a gentle sigh. One more time. Beautiful.

Now, I want to introduce you to something I call the body scan with gratitude, and it's going to be your secret weapon for better sleep. Instead of just checking in with your body like you're doing an inventory, we're going to notice each part with genuine appreciation.

Start at the crown of your head. Feel the weight of your thoughts beginning to settle like snow. Thank your mind for working hard today. Now move down to your face, your jaw, your shoulders. So often we hold tension here without even knowing it. Let your gratitude soften those tight places, like warm honey melting into the spaces between your muscles.

Continue down your arms, your belly, your legs. With each area, genuinely thank that part of your body for carrying you through today. Your legs for walking, your hands for creating, your heart for beating steadily even when you're stressed. This isn't just a body scan. This is a love letter to yourself.

As you reach your toes, imagine roots growing from your feet deep into the earth, anchoring you, stabilizing you. You're held. You're safe.

Here's what I want you to carry into tonight and beyond. Before bed, spend just five minutes with this practice. Your nervous system will learn that this is your signal for sleep. You're basically telling your body, it's time to rest now.
