How to Empty Your Mind of Useless Stuff? or How to Sleep Better at Nights?

Our minds are so super-busy, that they would not shut up when we lay down to sleep.  They work over-time, like that energizer bunny:  keeps going and going and going…

It’s great when our minds work to help us to achieve things, when we get a brilliant idea and go for it.  Then sleepless nights are great.

However, what keeps most of us late at night is useless stuff:

1)  “I’ll think about it” stuff;

2) Worries;

3) Uncompleted “To Do” lists.

Earlier that day, we see something in the store or online that we really like.  We tell salesperson to put it on hold.  Then, we rack our brains, “Should we get it? Do we really need it? But it looks so good.”… After thinking, we decide to go back and get it.

Now imagine if we do not need to “think about it” and buy it on the spot.  By night, we would enjoy what we bought; we would avoid the aggravation of thinking; and at the end, we would save our time, salesperson’s time and gas.  We would have a free mind and be able to sleep at night.

The key is if we like it, we should go for it right now, not later.  Why to put our enjoyment on hold?

The most major useless thing that keep us late at night is worry.  We worry about major things and minor things.  We worry about health, money, family – you name it.  Think about it… Does worry do anything good?  It gives us headaches, sleepless nights, stomachaches, ulcers, unclear thinking, black circles under the eyes, nervous breakdowns, breathing problems, anger outbursts, depression.  Nothing good comes out of worry.  Worrying is usually looking at the worst case scenario of the situation.

So, instead of worry (that does not do any good), look at positive and find a solution.  Granted, some problems are out of our control – might take awhile to solve.  Some things we just have to let it be.  However, most problems can be solved one way or another.  With little innovation or different way of thinking, there is always a solution.

Instead of filling our minds with worry (that is hazardous to our health and sanity), how about to look at solutions.

To us that are busy-bodies, To-Do list is pretty essential.  There are not enough hours in a day to accomplish everything we want.  Therefore, the To-Do list is not finished – again.  We regret not be able to accomplish it all.  So now, we add undone items to tomorrow’s To-Do list, which probably will be unfinished – again.  What we do not realize is that we have become over-achievers.

What if we would throw that To-Do list out of the window and concentrate on stuff that really matters to us.  What if we do not depend on it anymore?  What if instead of multi-tasking and overextending ourselves, we concentrate on one task at the time that is most important? Would life be so much easier?

At the end of the day, then we can breathe easier knowing we achieved what was important to us.  It’s great to be imperfect.  Without “To-Do” list, there is no more pressure to be perfect – in that, there is a peace of mind.

We got to get rid of the useless junk that clogs our mind.  This way, we can make a space for more important stuff, like joy for life.
