felt light. My brain was on a cafeen high. I
tried my usual relaxation Dicknique's deep breasts, cantying sheets. Seriously,
(03:21):
who came up with that one? Even picturing myself loading
in a peaceful ocean, but nothing seemed to work. Then
I remember the power of self compassion. Instead of getting
frustrated with myself for not being able to quiet down,
I acknowledged my inside ease and said, hey, it's okay
to be feeling this way. You just had a big day.
(03:43):
Then I focused on being kind to myself. I gave
myself a warm bath, read a calming book, and let
go of the need to control everything. Guess what it
actually worked. By embracing self compassion, I managed to calm
my racing thoughts and finally drift off to sleep. So
