I had not seen this post; thank you so much for sharing. This speaks volumes to me. I haven’t had a good nights sleep in about 157 years (give or take).
Oh, I like this. I have been making to-do lists forever. Gives me a feeling of control over my time. This also makes me think of the saying, “that’s tomorrow’s problem”. It’s weird that it never occurred to before today… I can make something tomorrow’s problem for infinity. Like all the future what-ifs and worries that trigger my panic switch. Today, all is well. That worry? That belongs to tomorrow. And if the writers and poets and singers are right, tomorrow never comes.

Right?! I don’t know if you were subscribed last fall, but I did a post on anxiety insomnia that uses this principle too, and it has really helped me—funny how a mindset shift can make all the difference! https://open.substack.com/pub/sarahknightauthor/p/tonight-you-meet-tomorrow-you?r=4iva&utm_medium=ios
