Cures for Anxiety: Find The Anxiety Cure You’ve Always Been Searching For- Part 3 of 5
Some times, your mind might feel like a small child that just needs to be reassured that things will be taken care of. When you tell yourself that you are going to look at and deal with your problems later, you are giving your mind the chance to let go of your worries. You’ll soon discover that when you get to let your mind relax and fall asleep, by the morning, everything that you were worried about has a way of being just a little thing and were really more of an overactive imagination than something that can really be seen as a problem.
If you are having a really restless night, Dr. Dennis Gersten of San Diego suggests that you try this approach and work with it for a few nights until you customize it for yourself an find the anxiety cure that works best for you.
As you are lying in bed, remember a time in your life when you had no choice but to stay awake. Whether you were studying for a big exam, taking care of a very young baby or traveling late at night, like driving somewhere. We’ve all had occasions where all we wanted to do was go to sleep and weren’t allowed to. You should start by recalling one of these times.
Try to remember how tired you were and how badly you just wanted to lay your head down and close your eyes. How hard was it to keep your eyes open? Try to remember how your eyes burned and your eyelids just wanted to close. Oh how you wished you could close them! Don’t just think about this, but relive the memories, remember how that felt.
Think about right now and how good it feels to be in bed without any need to stay awake. Think about how much you wanted to be able to by laying in your bed and able to go to sleep with nothing pressing to stop you. Consider how good it feels to not have to get up right now and to be able to sleep as deeply and soundly as you want. Remember how it felt to want to fall asleep but not be able to because you had to do something. Keep your eyes closed while you think about that time, let your anxiety trouble melt away.
