We're a read books and sing songs kinda fam, but my son got to an age where he wanted stories on top of that. Great! Until he just wanted more. and more. Asking me to come up with a story about the ceiling was my breaking point.
I took a page out of my own therapeutic book and looked up sleep stories. This channel, Koala Moon, is great. It's free!!! And the stories always have something more tied into it- a character dealing with anxiety, for example. After the story there is a guided meditation. My kids are always asleep by that point, but I do it for myself!
For adults, I recommend using guided meditation, but I suppose you could check this out if you want to.

đ´That gradual wake up alarm really helps. And the bedtime stories help me unwind and get sleepy.

đĽąFor those who never feel fully rested in the morning:
Apparently, thereâs a lot of ways to breathe wrong and youâre doing them all while you sleep. Sometimes itâs because of you and other times itâs because of your environment or maybe itâs both but if youâre not getting enough air you will get low quality sleepâšď¸.
If you wake up feeling congested, a couple of things that really help me are a humidifier (love this one for travel also) and an air purifier (super quiet).
For those who have a hard time falling asleep: - It feels like you either love melatonin or you hate it, I happen to love it. Finding your dosage is key tho and that might take some experimenting. I started too big and slept like a rock but felt super groggy waking up!!
- this is annoying but going to bed at the same time every night is so helpful. Iâm sorry!! I want to be too cool for school also but having a strict bedtime will change your life for the better
For brains that wonât shut off: Ok here is my trick to falling asleep when my brain is too loud (patent pending): Step one: play a podcast or anything where people are speaking but set the volume low enough that you canât quite hear what theyâre saying Step two: make overthinking work in your favor by focusing on your train of thought and tuning out the podcast noise. I think this works because tuning out external sounds is something that happens naturally as you fall asleep.
Ok hope that helps, sweet dreams! đ

đThis is a sleep podcast where the host essentially babbles you to sleep (or to just be a companion in the âdeep dark nightâ, as he calls it). When you get used to not really listening or attempting to follow along, itâll probably knock you out quickly. Iâve been listening for years and most nights, Iâm out within 15 minutes!

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle. These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once. The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next. We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom.
The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust. The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back. This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out. The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy. Iâve found that as healing goes on, just as itâs shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being. We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time. Â
The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow. There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of âthis is what is, how can I make this work well for me?â Everything works out for The Fool because they donât know it canât. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow. I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more. The Fool doesnât stop to worry what other people will think! The Fool does not fret about what ifâs! The Fool is in the moment!

đHumans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE đ
