Techniques I use for Anxiety/Panic Part 4 (Get some Sleep)

HERE IS AN AFFIRMATION YOU CAN SAY TO HELP YOU CALM DOWN AND GET SOME SLEEP:

Say each statement aloud - softly - to yourself, as you read it. Saying it aloud - to yourself - makes it most effective.

- I take good care of myself;

- I am taking care of myself now as I calm myself;

- I am calming myself;

- I am soothing myself;

- I am taking control.

- I am calming and soothing myself so that I may fall into a deep and satisfying sleep;

- I now allow myself to fall into a deep and satisfying sleep;

- I now release my upset;

- I now release my fear;

- I now release my panic;

- I am letting go of my fear and panic;

- I am taking control.

- As I take control, I let all fear and panic fly away;

- I am letting go of my tension;

- I am letting go of my fears;

- I can picture a little trap door on the top of my head;

- I open this little door on the top of my head - and let all fears and panic fly away from me;

- I am releasing all fear and panic from my system;

- As I release tension, fear and panic, I am feeling more and more relaxed;

- I am letting my muscles relax;

- All the muscles in my body are relaxing;

- I am feeling more and more relaxed and I am getting sleepy;

- I am relaxing and I am feeling more and more sleepy;

- I am giving myself permission to fall asleep;

- I am giving myself permission to drift into a restful sleep;

- I am giving myself permission to fall into a deep and satisfying sleep;

- As I relax I feel myself getting more and more sleepy;

- I feel peaceful,

- I feel peaceful and relaxed,

- I am feeling very peaceful, relaxed and sleepy;

- I am feeling very sleepy;

- I am ready to fall asleep now;

- I'm almost asleep...

- I'm happy to fall asleep.....

Now at this point, you can place yourself in a beautiful, peaceful, pleasurable environment - perhaps some place where you've been in the past, some place where you have happy memories - or maybe some place you can simply imagine - like a lush tropical island, a beautiful garden on a perfect spring day - or a fairytale castle - and see yourself in that lovely, peaceful environment - experiencing a sense of peace and enjoyment .... This concludes the Affirmation

These may not work for everyone, but if I can hep just one person then I feel better for it.
