I teach you how to stop yourself from getting hooked by, fused with, or caught up in your thoughts, worries, ruminations, and feelings when trying to sleep.With practice, you will strengthen a function of your mind known as Meta-Cognition (aka the Observing Self). Over time, you’ll find that you’ll be less and less of a victim to your mind’s whims when you try to sleep.This is the first video in my last series of videos on the 3rd major cause of suboptimal sleep, Cognitive Over-Activation.​​Note, this is also one of the best strategies to help you deal with unhelpful thoughts (e.g., worry and rumination) and feelings (e.g., irritability, anxiety, low mood) during the day that pull you away from the present moment or what you should be focusing on.PERFORM AT YOUR GREATEST POTENTIAL by Optimizing Your Psychology, Physiology, & NeurologyBy blending neuroscience, physiology, and peak performance strategies we help #leaders​, talent, #athletes​, and organizations overcome these barriers and achieve results they’ve never seen before.Visit us at https://DrChrisFriesen.com​Author, Speaker, Sport & Performance Neuropsychologist, Executive Coach, Clinical Psychologist, and Clinical Neuropsychologist.Author of #ACHIEVE​: Find Out Who You Are, What You Really Want, and How To Make It Happen.To read the first 2 chapters of ACHIEVE, click here: http://ow.ly/UCwT30rqVL9​To download 5 Things You Should Be Doing Every Day to Boost Performance, click here: https://bit.ly/3bsI0uy​For keynotes, talks, webinars, corporate training, etc., please visit https://DrChrisFriesen.com​All other pictures, B-roll, and music courtesy of https://www.storyblocks.com/Disclaimer:Dr. Friesen is a registered clinical psychologist, neuropsychologist, and forensic psychologist in the province of Ontario, Canada and this video is for informational purposes only.
