A friend sent me a text after we bumped into each other grocery shopping:
“You look great! Just thought I needed to tell you.”
We’d only seen each other a couple of weeks before when the kids had played together at the beach.
So what was different?
I’d been going through a lot of recent overwhelm from our current living situation.
And I’d had a few consecutive nights of my 18-month-old boy feeding 9 times overnight due to teething.
I should’ve been a complete mess.
At home.
Too tired and run down to even drive.
So yes, something WAS different.
And I knew what it was. So I was excited to tell her!
I messaged back:
“Woman!!! Thank you!!! I’ve been prioritising rest…I’ve been practicing Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra nearly every day!”
Her response?
“Well you look amazing…it’s totally working!”
And I believe her.
Because I DO feel GOOD!
I’m not as tired – even though I co-sleep with a teething, breastfeeding toddler.
I feel more calm – even though he’s constantly challenging me and his 4-year-old sister at the moment.
I’m able to get myself out of a negative thought cycle quicker – even though we’re currently ALL sleeping in a small lounge-room. AND our home is open-planned. Bahahahahaha! Tired Mamas, I know you feel me there!
Soooooo. What is Divine Sleep Yoga Nidra?
