It worked! Slept like breeze on a cool summer night 💖

Picture a plane, Teri. Ending the day is cutting the engine. Landing is the descent: wheels down, weight settling onto solid ground, full stop.

These last three nights your day ended but your body never touched down. So at night it's still circling the runway, engine running, looking for somewhere to put its weight. That's the ruminating.

So no, it's not quite "put into practice what you read." It's more physical than that. Landing is letting your nervous system feel the ground come up to meet it before sleep, instead of just clicking off the lights mid-air. A few slow breaths where you actually feel your back, your feet, the bed holding you. The body arriving, not just the to-do list stopping.

Sleep on it. But that's the picture: touch down, don't just switch off.

I’m not the best with metaphors so when JT gave me this suggestion on my check-in I needed more clarification… funny part each time I drifted up from my sleep I found myself reciting “relax we’re coming in for a landing” 😂 Simply gorgeous how our brains work, isn’t it ..🥸
