Description
Can't Stop Thinking About Work at Night? 10-Minute Wind Down for Better Sleep
As the sun dips lower over the North Devon hills, the day’s work is done—but often, our minds don't know how to clock off. We carry emails, conversations, and endless to-do lists into our sanctuary, leading to that frustrated, "tired but wired" feeling.In this final session of our daily trilogy, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett helps you perform Cognitive Offloading.
This science-backed practice of deliberately dropping mental weight allows your brain to enter recovery mode. Using the 4-7-8 breathing technique, you will signal to your heart that you are officially "off-duty". It’s time to walk to the edge of the meadow, click the latch on the gate, and leave the noise of the world behind you.🕒 Episode Chapters
