In the latest blog post for Psychology Today, Dr. Cortland Dahl explores how we can rewire our brains to be more calm and focused before bed.
How did you sleep last night?
Resting should be the easiest thing we do in a day, but for far too many of us, it’s filled with frustration and fatigue. Read the article below to see how we can rewire our brains to be more calm and focused before bed.
Key Points:
- Research suggests that through meditation we can train our minds and rewire our brains to be more calm and focused.
- In practicing mindfulness, we teach the mind to switch from dwelling on the past and projecting into the future to focus on the here and now.
- Take a few moments to meditate throughout your day to “declutter” your mind, so all your restless energy doesn’t overwhelm you at night.
