Find a position that feels best for you.
A position that you want to fall asleep in.
Take this time.
Move around in any way you need.
When you are satisfied with your position.
Take some long breaths.
Let your exhale be audible.
A sigh.
As you relax your eyes.
As you relax your face.
As you begin to surrender.
In your body.
Letting your muscles.
Your tendons.
Your bones be heavy.
Feel their weight.
And feel the support.
The bed,
Your mattress,
And your body.
Curled up.
Just how you like to.
On your bed.
On this mattress.
Your bones.
Your tendons.
Your muscles.
Heavy.
And relaxing.
Surrendering all effort.
As you move towards sleep.
Entering into the state of non-doing.
Whatever has happened today.
Has already happened.
So as you surrender towards sleep.
Surrender any thoughts of the day.
Any happenings of the day.
As you feel this surrender.
In every exhale.
Let it relax your body.
Let it relax your mind even more.
Taking one step closer.
To sweet sleep surrender.
In this surrender.
We also plant seeds.
For a sweet night's sleep.
And for a good tomorrow.
And we do this through simple gratitude.
Just listening to these words.
And letting them wash through you.
Taking what resonates.
As a dream into sleep.
And a note into tomorrow.
Thank you for this day.
Thank you for all the opportunities.
That were given to me today.
Thank you for my health.
Thank you for where I got to go today.
Even if it was just inside my home.
Thank you for the people in my life.
Who care about me.
And who I love very much.
Thank you for my ability to care for myself.
Thank you for my aspiration to get a good night's sleep.
To do healthy and well things for my body and my mind.
I will keep doing the things that are well and good for me.
And I set an intention to do my very best upon waking tomorrow.
To take good care.
To share my heart.
And to be exactly,
Lovingly,
Wonderfully,
Uniquely,
Me.
I rest my body.
I rest my mind.
I surrender.
I surrender.
I surrender to sleep.
