0:20.0	This is episode 1,929 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you back to our series all about how to manage insecurities to help you sleep better. This is part of a sleep collection of meditations that we've explored throughout the entire month.
0:30.0	And in last week's series, you discovered how to release negative thoughts and emotions
0:39.4	so that when you settled yourself down to sleep, those wouldn't be lingering, interfering with your peaceful
0:48.4	sleep.
0:50.3	And you had a worry hierarchy as a challenge last week

2:16.9	about negative thoughts and your insecurities, that's when I encourage you to think about what you're grateful for.
2:26.0	This is a wonderful way to switch out your thoughts, and it helps you to realize that there are other things you could be thinking about.
2:37.0	And it also helps you to become aware of other things that you have going on in your life that are positive because even on your
2:48.6	worst day you could still think about a few things that you're thankful for you could be grateful that
