Does your mind race at night? Maybe you replay everything that went wrong during the day? Or maybe you lie awake worrying about tomorrow? You’re not alone.
Asking yourself three simple questions every night can calm those thoughts, boost your emotional intelligence, and help you sleep better.
These questions only take a couple of minutes to answer, but they can rewire your brain for positivity and resilience. By the end of the episode, you’ll have a nightly mental strength routine designed to improve your mental health and help you feel calmer and happier.
Some of the things I share are:
“Asking yourself just three simple questions could quiet those thoughts, make you feel stronger, and help you fall asleep with a sense of calm and hope.” – Amy Morin
“Research shows that by intentionally practicing gratitude, looking for hope, and reflecting on what makes you strong, you can literally rewire your brain.” – Amy Morin
“Even in the middle of some of my darkest days and my worst grief, I already had that habit of finding gratitude.” – Amy Morin
“Take one small step every single day to grow mentally stronger.” – Amy Morin
