Good evening.

Imagine how much better the world would be if everyone woke up well rested

every day. That's why I in the team here at Slumber make the sleepy bookshelf.

You can join us in this mission by supporting the show via our premium feed,

which will get you add free access to the entire book shelf and exclusive

bonus episodes.

If premium isn't for you, that's okay Recommending your favorite episode to a friend or family member

is just as meaningful.

Thank you so much for your support,

and I hope you sleep well tonight.

Good evening and welcome to the sleepy bookshelf

where we put down our worries from the day and pick up a good book.

I'm your host, Elizabeth. Thank you so much for choosing to be with us tonight.

This evening we are returning to the lead, but before we do, let's give ourselves some time

to be present. Lie or set, very still.

On crossing your legs and keeping your arms by your sides

and keeping your arms by your sides.

Close your eyes and breathe evenly and naturally.

Without changing your breath, Focus on the air coming into your body and leaving it. What's happening to your body as you breathe?

Say quietly to yourself. I'm breathing in. I'm breathing out and use this to stay present.

If any thoughts creep in,

just acknowledge them and let them slide away.
