Reflection on Today's Quote
Insomnia is greedy. It takes your thoughts, your energy, your peace—and gives nothing back. It’s like chewing cardboard and pretending it’s a meal. Sure, your mind is busy, but you’re not getting any wiser, calmer, or stronger. You’re just awake, stretched thin, running on the fumes of rest that never really came.
It tricks you into thinking those late-night thoughts are deep. They’re not. They’re loud. It whispers worst-case scenarios like bedtime stories, feeds your doubts, replays every regret, and leaves you feeling hungover from your own mind the next day. Sleep is where we heal. Insomnia is where we fray.
You don’t have to earn rest. You don’t need to solve everything before you sleep. Let go. Breathe. Turn off the world for a while. Nothing good grows in soil that’s always being dug up. Give your soul a full night’s silence. It’s not lazy—it’s sacred.
Want a simple nightly ritual to calm the mind before sleep?
Step Up To The Challenge
Tonight, give your mind a curfew.
1. One hour before bed, turn off all screens. No scrolling, no emails, no news.
2. Write down every worry or to-do buzzing in your head. Get it out of your mind and onto paper.
3. Then, do something quiet and gentle: read a chapter of a physical book, stretch, or listen to calming music. Nothing that demands you to solve anything.
The goal? Don’t feed insomnia with noise. Starve it with stillness. Let rest become your rebellion. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
