概要

 Welcome back, friend. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here with me today for Sleep Soundly. Whether you're joining us on a Saturday morning or sneaking in a moment during your lunch break, know that you've made a beautiful choice to invest in your rest. Today is February first, and if you're anything like me, the turning of a new month can stir up all sorts of feelings—maybe some excitement about fresh starts, or perhaps a little anxiety about whether you'll actually stick with your goals. Either way, tonight's sleep is your chance to press pause on all that mental chatter and give your body what it truly needs.

Let's begin by finding a comfortable seat, somewhere quiet where you won't be interrupted for the next few minutes. Your shoulders can soften away from your ears right now. Good. Take a deep breath in through your nose, and let it out slowly through your mouth. Again. Notice how your body settles just a little bit more with each exhale. You're already doing the work.

Now, I want to guide you through something I call the Body Scan Release, because tonight, we're going to prepare your nervous system for the deep rest it deserves. Start by bringing your awareness to the crown of your head. Imagine a gentle, warm light settling there, like sunlight filtering through a soft curtain. This light is carrying away any tension, any thoughts about tomorrow's to-do list. Let it dissolve.

Move that awareness slowly down through your face. Your forehead. Your eyes. Your jaw. So many of us hold stress right here in our jaw without even realizing it. Let it go. Soften.

Continue this warm light down your neck, across your shoulders, down your arms, all the way to your fingertips. Feel each muscle relaxing, like a cat stretching after a long nap. Now into your chest, your heart space. Your belly. Your lower back. Release what doesn't serve you.

Bring that light down through your hips, your thighs, your knees, your calves, and finally into your feet, grounding you safely into the earth beneath you. Your whole body is now bathed in this warm, releasing light. You are safe. You are held.

As you move through your evening, carry this feeling with you. Before bed tonight, take just two minutes to recall this warmth, this release. Your body will remember, and it will thank you with deeper, more restorative sleep.

Thank you so much for spending these moments with me on Sleep Soundly: Daily Mindfulness Exercises for Better Rest. Please subscribe so we can practice together every single day. You deserve rest. You deserve peace. I'll see you tomorrow.
