Part 1: Tonight card
You woke up. It is dark, your mind is busy, and the clock makes it worse. This card is for that moment. Read it once now, in daylight, then keep it by the bed. At 3 a.m. you only need the next small step, not a plan for your whole life.
First, a reminder
Waking in the night is very common. One awake hour does not ruin tomorrow. Trying hard to fall asleep usually backfires, so we will not try. We will make the room calm and let sleep return on its own.
The card
1. Do not check the time. Turn the clock away or leave your phone face down. Working out how many hours remain only adds pressure.
2. Keep the light dim and warm. If you need light, use a small lamp, not the main light or a screen. Bright and blue light tells the body it is morning.
3. Loosen your body. Unclench your jaw. Drop your shoulders. Let your hands go heavy. Breathe out slowly, a little longer than you breathe in. Do this five times.
