Deep Sleep
We writers often stress about things.
Deadlines. New releases. Reviews. Dropping sales, and Kindle Unlimited…
And sometimes, that means we can’t sleep at night. Or that sleep isn’t restful.
Or – and this just happened to me – your dentist tells you that you’re clenching your teeth at night, and that this is not good at all.
In fact, I’ll probably get a mouth guard soon (or is there a better term?). But the truth is, that mouth guard only takes care of a symptom.
The real issue here is stress.
And then I remembered that I actually know this fabulous technique for stress release!
I’ve been tapping every night since then, focusing on releasing stress and allowing peace. My mouth is much less shredded… I think it’s working. And that’s why I want to share this with you.
In the video, I’m talking about some simple techniques, a visualization that might help, and about being aware of the signs and signals your body is sending you.
I would really encourage you to try a quick, simple tapping round before turning off the light – or even after! Test this for a couple of days and see whether your sleep is getting better and you feel more rested.
And here are some tapping phrases for you to play with.
