I am fully present and focused on my breath as I drift to sleep
As you lay in bed at night, your mind may race with thoughts and worries from the day. It can be difficult to quiet your mind and drift off to sleep. However, by focusing on your breath, you can bring yourself into the present moment and find peace.
Repeat the affirmation to yourself: "I am fully present and focused on my breath as I drift to sleep". As you inhale and exhale, feel the sensation of your breath moving in and out of your body. Notice the rise and fall of your chest and the feeling of air moving through your nostrils.
If your mind starts to wander, gently bring your attention back to your breath. You may find it helpful to count your breaths, starting at one and counting up to ten before starting over again at one. This can help you stay focused and prevent your mind from wandering.
As you continue to focus on your breath, you may notice that your body begins to relax. Your muscles may loosen and your mind may become calmer. This can help you fall asleep more easily and sleep more soundly throughout the night.
Remember that it's okay if your mind wanders or if you have trouble staying focused on your breath at first. This is a skill that takes practice, so be patient with yourself. Each time you bring your attention back to your breath, you are strengthening your ability to be present and focused.
As you drift off to sleep, repeat the affirmation to yourself one more time: "I am fully present and focused on my breath as I drift to sleep". Allow yourself to let go of any worries or stress from the day and embrace the peace and calm of the present moment.
