How are you sleeping at the moment, dear Reader?
If the answer is “Like a baby, thanks Giles,” then you can skip this one.
Otherwise, grab yourself a hot cup of cocoa, snuggle up warm and read on…
😴
You see, I’ve had a few conversations about sleep with clients recently, and as a result, the issue has crystallised for me.
Keeping it simple—because, as Syd Banks said: “Look for simplicity. Simplicity holds the key you’re looking for”—I’ve come to see that there are basically only two reasons for not sleeping.
Either:
- We mistake thought as being helpful, or
- We mistake thought as being harmful.
See? Simples.
🤷🏻♂️
In the former case—seeing it as helpful—we’re going to keep ourselves awake all night by paying attention to it. Delving into it. Having arguments with people in our heads. Trying to solve problems. Fretting. Analysing.
