Thinking about important stuff quite literally makes it impossible to fall asleep. There are two kinds of thinking - the kind that drift into sleep, or “tired thoughts”, and the kind that pump you up, or “wired thoughts”.
You probably have already experienced this, but… you’ll NEVER fall asleep to a wired thought.
Now, you might be confused about the tired and wired state idea, and that’s a very bad thing. Most people will never even hear about this concept, and it’s ESSENTIAL to sleep, so if you haven’t read it yet, click here now to learn about the “Wired vs. Tired” concept and to CONQUER your sleep.
If the thinking starts as soon as you lay down, it could be that you have a habit of thinking about this stuff when you get in bed. This happens all the time. Whether you try the following things or not, APPLY THIS FROM NOW ON: As soon as you catch yourself thinking about important things, get out of bed, and finish off the thought with the lights on. As soon as you clear your mind, lay down again.
No longer allow your worry-prone thoughts exist in your bed.
How to SHUT OFF these thoughts:
Many people are able to calm all anxiety they are experiencing within minutes by meditating.
Anxiety and meditation can’t coexist because meditation demands your full focus. Your brain has to focus on it’s worries for you to feel anxiety. Meditation takes the power away from the rushing feelings of anxiety by changing your focus on all levels.
The more you mediate, the more you’ll be able to train your brain to take an alternative focus.
