30 Positive Sleep Affirmations to Relax at Night!
Wellness and mindfulness are such important yet under-appreciated parts of our mental health and self care. As adults or grown-ups with many responsibilities and hectic lives, we tend to put these things aside and forget how much it can affect our well-being, especially in hectic times like this! One of the repercussions of all the added stress that we have in our lives often manifests itself in the form of insomnia, or difficulty going to sleep. I know I have experienced this more than ever before throughout the past year. And while sleeping medication and anti-anxiety pills can appear to be the easiest solution, they often have undesirable and long-lasting effects on your mind and body.
As someone who has dealt with anxiety since my pre-teen years, I have always been searching for natural remedies that help me live in a state of better mindfulness.
Even if you have never dealt with anxiety, taking the wrong approach to managing the stress of everyday life can have similar impacts on our bodies. For example, you might find yourself feeling especially restless or tense, worrying excessively, experiencing sleeplessness or insomnia, and have an overall lack of concentration.
Luckily for us, there are many natural remedies that can alleviate those symptoms and simply help you to live a better life! One key is to remain focused not only on your physical health, but on your mental health as well. The right diet, the right workout routine, and having the right nighttime routine are key!
In the past year, I’ve decided to focus more on my night routine. After spending years thinking about what kind of foods I put into my body, almost completely cutting my alcohol intake, and working out almost every day, I was still experiencing sleeplessness, unwanted thoughts, and often excessive worry at night. That’s when I decided to completely change my night routine. Besides trying to go to bed earlier (I have always been a night owl), I now make a point of sipping a comforting and relaxing tea blend (I have shared 5 of my favorite tea blends here) while saying my positive sleep affirmations right before going to bed. Surprisingly, this has done wonders for my sleep schedule and has completely changed my rest!
What are bedtime affirmations?
Bedtime affirmations or sleep affirmations, as I see them, are quotes, short phrases, or mantras that you’ll use to put your mind in a positive mental state and hopefully remove all negative thoughts. They will help you focus on your optimistic thoughts, take your worries away, and in a way cleanse your body in order to be ready for a full night of sleep.
Do affirmations work while you sleep?
I believe that putting positive affirmations, thoughts, words and energy into the world will bring only positivity back into to your life. But beyond my beliefs, it’s no secret that most of us tend to dream about things that worry us or past experiences that we have lived. Dreams are directly related to our state of mind, thoughts, and experiences. If you go to bed in a positive state of mind and with positive thoughts, chances are that you’ll be rested in the morning and wake up with a positive attitude the next day!
What do you say to yourself before bed?
There are several affirmation and self-care books you could read before going to bed, but I prefer to say a few mantras and phrases that I love and are very uplifting. On top of those, I am also sharing some more specific ones: sleep affirmations for success, sleep affirmations for confidence, and even sleep affirmations for anxiety. Many of them you can twist around a bit and make them your own!
