Many people living in one day at a time recovery live with thoughts that can jump all over the place. These scattering thoughts often happen at bedtime. Some of us believe that some of these thoughts are the workings of our mind seeking safety at night. We want to tie up loose ends. We want to better prepare ourselves for the mental, physical and emotional struggles that we might have to face. And we might even want to prepare ourselves for unreal threats that we are imagining. Our minds are trying to tie up loose ends. The reality of scattering thoughts is journaling strategies help to harness the noise. Often taking care of our physical health helps. Also it is helpful to practice good sleep hygiene. Some nights it just hard. Talk to your doctor. Be well today or should I say be well tonight. Peace.
