This is SO me! I'm trying to exercise more, be more physically active and do things with my hands instead of just staying in my head. The mindfulness aspect is also vital to my attempts to get to sleep. In fact, I use a sleep meditation by Deepak Chopra just for this purpose. Focusing on my breathing and physical comfort helps me to dial down my thoughts, as does repeating a mantra. When thoughts invade the mantra, I just keep chanting it in my mind until I drift off to sleep. Thanks for the timely reminder, Molly!
