| 0:05.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:08.0 | I'm excited to share today's episode with you because it's all about sleeping better and I honor |
| 0:18.3 | you for giving yourself this time to slow down and connect to the best part of who you are. |
| 0:29.0 | I'm Mary Meckley and I share a different meditation technique every day here on the podcast and the techniques |
| 0:37.3 | are always customized around a theme we explore in depth for a week and this week it's all about gratitude. We're exploring |
| 0:48.2 | gratitude for wellness. How to help you reduce mindful with gratitude, how to be more mindful with gratitude, how to have more |
| 1:00.9 | confidence with gratitude. |
| 1:03.7 | And today we're exploring how to sleep better with gratitude. |
| 1:09.6 | And I shared an article with you in the previous episodes in this series about Dr. |
| 1:17.3 | Emmons from the University of California at Davis who did a study on People Keeping a Gratitude Journal. It's an ongoing study he's doing. |
| 1:27.5 | And I reported several findings of his study that will encourage you to keep a gratitude journal yourself. |
| 1:36.7 | I hope that is your challenge this week to keep a gratitude journal. |
| 1:42.2 | And he noticed that amongst his participants those who |

| 1:55.0 | In fact, most participants claimed they sleep 10% longer and that the quality of their sleep is much better and that when |
| 2:07.1 | they wake up they feel more refreshed. |
| 2:11.5 | So keep a gratitude journal right down three things in your gratitude journal that |
| 2:20.4 | you're thankful for each day. I do this when I wake up in the morning. I mentally |
| 2:27.0 | think of three things I'm excited about for the day. And then when I go to bed at night I think of three things I'm grateful for. |
| 2:37.0 | So I'm going to share with you a technique you can do as you drift off to sleep tonight. It's a simple technique and it's a |
| 2:47.4 | little spin on a technique the Dalai Lama is reported to do every single day. So as you are getting ready to go to sleep, go through your day in reverse. |
