Severe insomnia for more than ten years, the pain of not being able to sleep can only be understood by those who have experienced it. What pains me the most is not that I didn't sleep well, but that I slept well the day before, and the next day I began to worry: Can I still fall asleep tonight? In order to cure my insomnia, the medicine smoked, the sleep pillow, and even the marathon was run five times... In the end, I found that it was still the drug tube prescribed by the doctor, and I would rather suffer some side effects until I found a better way.
What I didn't expect was that I would have the opportunity to stop insomnia pills in my lifetime! A patient recommended two books to me, "You Are Your Own Psychiatrist" and "Emotional Self-Help.". It is precisely by relying on the methods in these two books that I completely got rid of drugs, completely got rid of stubborn insomnia, and became a normal person and slept normally, not only that, but it also cured my sensitive, suspicious, blind heart.
The reason why I can accept the recommendation of patients is because everyone has pity for each other, and he has improved in his own practice: he has to be accompanied by someone from going to the hospital and going to work (sleeping badly + taking medicine, and his brain is sometimes confused and unconscious), to being able to go out alone, and he also talks and laughs with me. I am encouraged by his transformation.
My brain is always thinking about things, walking on the road and thinking, eating, driving, especially at night, the brain can't stop. As soon as you lie down, the mess of thoughts is like a button being activated, thinking even harder. Others are sleeping well and can be more comfortable, but I am the opposite of others, I am afraid of sleeping well, which makes me most unbearable! Fell asleep yesterday, wonder if you can sleep like yesterday tonight? I'm afraid that I can't sleep today like yesterday, and the more I'm afraid, the more I can't sleep, the more I can't sleep, the more I feel like it's all over...
Through the study of the book, I learned that it has always been that I have been too concerned about them, too much to let go of them (myself), these thoughts and the nerves about these ideas will be very active, this is a matter of psychological patterns, is caused by wrong thoughts and bad mentality, no amount of medicine can change the psychology. Luckily, I found a cure to take me out of the darkness.
The meditation method in the book "Emotional Self-Help" has reopened my life. This method is particularly easy to use, and it is very simple to use, without the help of external forces, as long as there is a heart that wants to change. Myself and the patients who recommended books to me have used this method to get rid of insomnia little by little. It is recommended that friends who are still trapped in insomnia must practice, continue to practice, and you will definitely experience the effect.
This is how I practiced the "Meditation Method" to save myself
Meditation is the foundation in the practice of meditation, I get up every morning to wash my face, start to sit and watch the breath, for any thoughts and thoughts that come out of the practice, again and again back to the breath, in this process, there will be times when irritability arises, I repeatedly read the exercise essentials on the book, only to understand that this is also the way, it is the same as the essence of my messy thoughts when I sleep, I firmly pay attention to the breath again and again, keep the center of gravity on the breath, my concentration is getting stronger and stronger, and the mind is more and more stable.
Tell me more about how I fell asleep by watching my breath. Lie in bed (how to lie down usually), adjust the sleeping position (generally lie down and no longer move), and then focus on breathing, and continue to feel the nostrils of the breath. It should be noted that as much as possible, do not be distracted by the thoughts, sometimes the thoughts are too strong, even so, just ignore it, and when the mind is lost, it will return to breathing.
One more important point: don't think of watching the breath as a tool for falling asleep. Some friends said that I was observing my breathing, but I hadn't slept well? You observe the breath not for sleep, otherwise you are still entangled in the obsession of not sleeping. Observe the breath for nothing, without any purpose, without any sense of giving, feel that you must gain something by doing something, you have to let go of it, observe the breath for the sake of observation, observe truthfully, and this is what you need to do.
It is easy to think and ponder during the day, and at night, anxiety and tension are the root cause, and all the insomniacs I contact have this commonality: the mentality is not very good, it is easy to be emotional, the horns are sharp, the anxiety traits, and the special attention to themselves. After more than four months, I finally corrected my mentality little by little, and the observation method not only cured my insomnia, but also led me to be a person who is not anxious, not blind, and has a stable mentality.
It is recommended that friends with insomnia go to see (emotional self-help) and (you are your own psychologist) these two books, correct, continuous, patient practice book method, you can also completely get rid of insomnia!
