If you have trouble falling or staying asleep, you know that few things cause as much anxiety and frustration. Sleep is necessary for good physical and mental health.
Routinely practicing yoga, deep breathing, meditation, and mindfulness can all help improve your ability to fall asleep and the quality of that sleep. Another way to help yourself with sleep problems is through positive affirmations.
Positive affirmations are statements that you repeat to yourself, in the present tense, about a feeling you want to maintain or experience, a change you want to see in your life, or an outcome that you want to achieve. You can learn more about what affirmations are and how they work here: “Positive Affirmations for Stress Reduction.”
