11 Minute NSDR
Meditations

11m
I've been there, too...
Even recently, I found myself thinking: I don't really have time to lay down and do a full NSDR.
I think I'd rather watch an episode on Netflix instead of a NSDR tonight...
The house is a mess: I "should" use this time to clean up a bit and I can do my NSDR another night.
However, I'm at the point where I realize that skimping on my self-care has seriously deleterious effects on my sleep and sense of regulation: by skipping my nightly NSDR, I find myself less able to focus during the day, waking up throughout the night, and generally feeling a bit more rigid and irritable than I'd like... which costs me more of the time I (innocently) thought I was saving by skipping the practice!
Now, I notice the resistance and remember how happy my future self will be when I stick to my daily NSDR practice. Sometimes, I do 45 minutes. Other nights, I do something shorter.
Cheers to taking care of yourself even when your brain is making excuses. After the initial transition period, this mini NSDR is about 10 minutes total. Enjoy!

Oak Tree Visualization
Y'all know I'm a firm believer of training the brain to entertain thoughts that are helpful, empowering, & inspiring.
The same is true when it comes to utilizing visualization as a tool. We could think of it as a more passive (yet still effective) form of brain retraining/ nervous system regulat...
