Hello,
I feel you. Honestly I am no expert at this craft, we are all learning as we go here, things I can tell you though is that expecting it to work or keeping track of the weeks is something that can make it harder for you to get better. I relate to it, we all have wished and hoped that once we start following instructions things start shifting but it does not work that way.
This takes time, and truly, it is not a pony ride. This is hard work because you’ll have to find the strength to face the fear of wakefulness, experience exhaustion daily while practicing patience.
Only your brain knows when, but the faster you stop fearing and thinking about this all day long, the faster your brain will re-adjust.
Acceptance plays a big roll here, instead of getting frustrated because it has been 2-3 weeks since you started working on your mindset and haven’t seen any results try to focus on feeling proud that you have been doing your best for 2-3 weeks and say, i will keep putting in the work for as long as i need to because i know every day, good or bad, its taking me closer to recovery.
If so many people have been able to recover, why cant we? What is it that they did that we aren’t doing yet? You should be able to come up with the answer….
Hi Tara,
100% I can relate to what you said. I strongly believe that the secret sauce in here is to not fear sleepless nights and fatigue the following day. If you have, 2 or even 3 nights in a row with very little or no sleep, if you manage to have enough will power to just push through and remain positive, sleep always comes and when you witness that moment then a powerful breakthrough insight unlocks!
Will power is huge, we have to have the will power to not expect certain amount of sleep hours every night, to just accept whatever the night brings and at the same time will power to start thinking less about sleep. If we talk about it less, if we stop trying to control it, if we just focus our attention on living our lives then soon or later our over protective brains eventually will relax.
I am still in the thick of it, but i am working hard on how I react to these nights/days. I think understanding where you are in your process, removing all expectations and being patient is what builds confidence. I’ve proven my brain wrong so many times in the past 2 months and I will continue to push because will power now is more important than validating fears.
Sending good vides Tara
