Sleep-Less to Sleeping
Where do we go when we Sleep?
Some nights, I don't want to sleep. It's not because I can't—eventually, I will. Over time, I've come to understand it in different ways. Initially, my perspective was conventional, but it gradually shifted towards an unconventional approach.
Our bodies prefer their own comfort, which often contradicts our minds' interpretations of what comfort means.
Why would I engage in activities that make me uncomfortable? While my body finds its patterns comfortable, my mindset remains uneasy. We tend to prioritize our minds because we perceive ourselves as a dominant intellectual entity, neglecting the fact that our bodies and emotions play a significant role.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a logical approach to comprehend how our feelings influence our thoughts. When we feel relaxed, our thoughts revolve around relaxation, and we become more attuned to our surroundings.
When our present moments are characterized by particular feelings, our minds generate thoughts centered on those feelings, bringing them to the forefront of our consciousness. Positive feelings generate positive thoughts, and our mind's perception shapes our experiences through our personalities.
For individuals with bipolar disorder like myself, it's crucial to be aware of CBT when experiencing drastic mood swings. Recognizing that certain emotions are temporary and refraining from impulsive actions can be beneficial.
However, it's important to find a balance between expressing and suppressing emotions. Holding everything in can lead to anxious numbness or suppression.
What does this have to do with sleep? Understanding certain physical aspects related to sleep requires awareness of our bodies rather than relying solely on logical thinking.
While our minds can indeed awaken us, we often find ourselves thinking about things that evoke strong emotions, which in turn cycle back to our minds. We mistakenly attribute this to our logical minds, but the underlying cause lies in our emotional centers.
Although seeking solutions and information is helpful, we must personalize and adapt them to our own creative processes. We are all unique, and what works for one person may not resonate with another.
Discipline is effective, but it takes time and effort...
