Welcome to episode 3,090 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I

welcome you to day six of this series. We're exploring this week. It's all about sleep habits so you can sleep better and enjoy

the restorative benefits of a good night's sleep.

In today's episode, as always I'll share with you insight

and you'll be guided in a meditation. In day six of a series I always combine the

meditation techniques you've explored all week into a beautiful flow.

So you will have a sleep flow in today's meditation.

And this is a way to combine the meditation techniques to help you sleep better.

And remember, your challenge this week has been to start your day with a ritual that's going to impact the whole rest of your day.

So the way you start your day can influence your whole day. And so when you do a ritual that nourishes you in some way,

or it's good for your health, it inspires you or gives you more clarity.

Maybe you're going to journal. Maybe you're going to do something involving physical fitness.

Maybe you're going to meditate. Whatever it is, this can set the tone for your whole day.

And then, the other part of this week's challenge is to also end your day on a similar note where you

are doing something nourishing and restorative and when you do this on a regular basis you create a ritual to start your day and to

end your day this can help you sleep better.

In yesterday's episode, I shared with you

how it's so important to create these rituals

to start and end your day,

but it's also important not to overload yourself with rituals because I come

across so many people I've worked with to help them sleep better and they create all these rituals

and they feel really pressured and stressed about doing all their rituals, fitting everything in.
