  • And today is the day this is when I learned how to breathe properly.

  • I always tickles me to think that, like really evil people have to sleep.

  • It's like the idea that some, like horrible dictator, then just goes to nap at night.

  • You see any amusing to me, But why is it necessary to humans?

  • Okay, it's absolutely necessary for a good functioning mental health.

  • So during the day, your brain builds up these metabolic toxins on its during sleep that your brain kind of a sewage system kind of switches on.

  • That helps to really fill to those toxins.

  • Another reason why sleep is really, really important for your mental well being is because when we have a lack of sleep, uh, ugly and then we look disgusting, everything else is hard.

  • Yeah, that's number one on my support.

  • Number two is when we have a lack of sleep.

  • It's really then hard to self regulate our emotions.

  • Yes.

  • Okay.

  • Flashing has to do this place 100 new belly on one hand here, just on your heart center on your chest.

  • And then I wanted to keep your feet flat and grounded to the floor.

  • Our brain tends to start worrying about lots of other things, so we're like ruminating over the past light.

  • With you, we can change it.

  • Yeah, it's exhausting, overthinking the future.

  • I like to over think I might have offended in the course of the day yet brilliant, because yet that's gonna so help with sleep, right?

  • So rather than trying thio for Get back to sleep, my best advice would be just to try to meditate.

  • Just imagine the color your favorite color is slowly filling up your body.

  • So just focus all your awareness firstly, on the tide of emotions totally totally on, then slowly moved down your body.

  • If your mind begins to wonder, just bring it back to your breath so always begin by deepening the breath on.

  • Then bring it back to your body.

  • I'm really, really visualize.

  • And imagine that color slowly filling up your body.

  • So moving down a to your thighs over your knees down your carbs, and then finally your feet and then just move back up again.
