From the onset of insomnia in 2010 to complete recovery in 2021, it has been 10 years. I can’t even imagine how I survived these ten years.

It was not until 2021 that I fully recovered from insomnia in 2010. Counting the time, it has been 10 years. I can’t even imagine how I survived these ten years. People who have never experienced the pain of insomnia cannot imagine the feeling of collapse caused by insomnia. They are physically and mentally exhausted, have no quality of life at all, work efficiency is extremely low, and their mental state is very bad. It is easy to become irritable, anxious, and depressed. Getting irritated over little things.

During the past ten years, I have taken a lot of medicine, and I have continued to go online to learn various methods and learn from other people's experiences. It has had some effect, but I still can't fall asleep when I should. Even when I fall asleep, I feel like I am in a trance. Feel.

By chance, I read an article about the causes of insomnia and how to treat it thoroughly. The article focused on how " breath-taking method " can cure insomnia. This method comes from the book "Emotional Self-Help". With the attitude of giving it a try, I ordered this book online.

I think I am quite lucky. This book is really a timely blessing in my life. It not only cured my insomnia, but also changed my outlook on life. Through reading, I truly realized that my inability to sleep was just the result of my anxiety and fear. What I really wanted to cure was not my insomnia, but the anxiety and fear that caused my insomnia and inability to sleep. mentality.

The more you try to make yourself fall asleep, the more unable you are to fall asleep. The more you try to cure insomnia, the more counterproductive it becomes . Why is this? Why can't I get better after trying various methods and taking medicine for so many years? Because the direction is wrong, all of this is reinforcing the fact of a "disease", and all of this is constantly aggravating the emotions of anxiety and fear. However, the fact is that, the more anxious and fearful you are, the more anxious and fearful you are. If you can't fall asleep, all your efforts and exertion are doing things that are contrary to sleep. As long as we relax and are no longer anxious and fearful, sleep will naturally occur. This is a natural phenomenon.

Some people may say, now that you know the cause of insomnia, just relax, stop exerting yourself, and don’t worry, wouldn’t it be better? Yes, this is the key point, if this can really be done, insomnia It will definitely be cured, but the key point is that it is no longer possible. It is no longer possible to relax, not to be anxious or fearful. It is completely conditioned and out of self-control.

As mentioned in the book "Emotional Self-Help", our hearts have become accustomed to tension, anxiety, and all kinds of random thoughts. It can no longer stop. The only way is to retrain this mind and train ourselves to live in the world. At this moment, exercise self-control and a normal mind, so that we can restore a relaxed state of mind, and sleep will naturally return to normal.

Now my sleep has completely returned to normal. This normality does not mean that I can sleep until dawn. Sometimes I may not fall asleep so happily, and sometimes I may not sleep deeply, but I am no longer afraid. , I can accept it calmly, allow it, and let it take its course. This is the change in my mentality that practicing "Anapana Breathing Technique" has brought to me.

It doesn't matter if I can't sleep. I don't force myself to fall asleep. I can also practice Anapana while lying on the bed, which is to quietly observe the in and out of my breath, and then I will relax and fall asleep without knowing it.

Well, I hope that the above personal experience can bring some inspiration and help to friends who are still suffering from insomnia. finally recommends friends to read "Emotional Self-Help" and "You Are Your Own Psychologist" The two books, especially the "Anapana Breathing Method", strongly recommend that everyone try this method. I wish you all get rid of insomnia soon!
