They induce anxiety, for sure.

Thoughts begin. Consequences anticipated.

Then, they compound.

And the snowball increases.

Tossing and turning, it’s increasingly difficult to find serenity, tranquility, peace, and rest.

But…

what if sleepless nights are a gift?

What if they are our mind’s way of telling us:

> “I need to shake you out of your rhythm and put you in a tired, altered state for a day or so, so you can see more clearly.”

In that case, you’re on the verge of a breakthrough.

Something is opening up inside.

Enjoy the sleepless ride.

Either that…or choose to be frustrated, angry, and irritable.

Your call.
