Hi RedAndy. My daughter shared something with me last week that she learned in one of her college courses on quieting a racing mind at night, something I am quite familiar with. It has to do with the brain’s ability to process only three tasks at a time, and any unorganized/uncategorized thoughts keep the brain racing trying to sort them. Try making a to-do list before bedtime, writing down the things you want to accomplish the next day and putting them in order. Keep a notepad and pen by your bed and if you awaken during the night with a thought, write it down.
I bought a small notepad and keep it by the bed, so far I haven’t put the advice into practice but it does make sense and is worth a shot.
I’ve kept up (mostly) with this class and must share with you all that the growth of each and every one of you is astronomical, and is documented here on SR! Congratulations to all!
