These bedtime affirmations are all you need to relax, unwind, and let go of all the stupid thoughts in your head. Best practice that you can pick up to sleep like a baby every night.
Why is it that the second your head hits the pillow, your brain decides it’s time to spiral?
You find yourself replaying an awkward text from years ago, or start planning your entire life in the dark, or worry about what to have for lunch tomorrow.
The thing is, when you’re finally in bed after a day of being busy, your mind is at last without any noise or distraction.
And since we often don’t train our minds to be quiet when free, it spends the precious bedtime hours worrying about everything under the sun.
All this overthinking can make it hard to get good sleep, which is why I got into the habit of using bedtime affirmations.
And wow, do they help or what.
Reading affirmations at night is like telling yourself, “Shhh, you’re totally safe. Let’s just rest and be quiet now.”
There is no easier way to get yourself to unwind and get that beauty sleep that your mind and body need so badly.
In this post, we’re looking at 51 bedtime affirmations that you can practice in bed when you’re stressed, overthinking, sad, or just need a soft landing after a long day.
You can repeat these affirmations out loud, write them in your journal, or whisper them in your mind.
Let’s get you some peace tonight.
