If you lie down tired and your mind speeds up instead of slowing down, that’s the exact question one chapter of My Mind Just Won’t Stop was written to meet. The chapter is called “The mind that won’t turn off at night,” and it’s for anyone whose mind replays the day and rehearses tomorrow the moment the lights go out.
The suggestion in that chapter is small. Before bed, get everything off your head and onto paper — not a to-do list, just a way of telling your mind, in writing, I’ve got it, you can stand down. One page, one pen, before you turn off the light.
My Mind Just Won’t Stop is a short guide, about 13,000 words, with ten chapters like that one, each on a different kind of mental noise: too many tabs open, the decision you can’t make, the comparison machine, the worry that calls itself planning. It’s a Still Point guide, and the audiobook is $9.99 on our website.
If the 2 a.m. version of your mind sounds familiar, take a look at the book’s page. And if you try the paper-before-bed idea, I’d like to know whether it worked for you — send me a note at info@glimpsepublishing.com and tell me what it is that keeps your mind running.
