Bedtime mantra

Here is a little bedtime mantra for when those awful swear words are gnawing at your brain and keeping you awake. I’m talking about the S-word, ‘should’; the F-word, ‘failure’; and the C-word, ‘control’. 

[Take a deep breath, in and out, after you say each line out loud.]

There are things that are out of my control
Some things cannot be fixed

There are imperfections in my life;
they only need acceptance 

When there is pain in my life, I will witness it;
I will allow it to move through me

There is peace to be found, even now
Everything is as it is meant to be, in this moment
There is peace within me; 
I can access it at any time

I am loved, as I am
I am enough, as I am
I am free, as I am

Goodnight, inner child
I see you, I love you;
and I am here to take care of you
Goodnight
