2. Drop Your Shoulders and Arms

Let go of any tension. With your face relaxed, it’s time to focus on your shoulders and arms. Drop your shoulders, letting them fall naturally. Relax your neck and traps, and feel yourself sinking into the chair or bed.

Relax each arm. Start with the top of your right arm. Slowly relax your biceps, forearms, and hand. Imagine any tension melting away as you work your way down. Repeat the process with your left arm, ensuring both sides are completely relaxed.

Keep breathing slowly and deeply. Maintaining slow and deep breaths helps keep your body calm and relaxed. This steady breathing is crucial for signaling your brain that it’s time to sleep.

Feel yourself sinking. As you relax your shoulders and arms, imagine yourself sinking deeper into your bed or chair. This mental imagery can enhance the physical sensation of relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep quickly.
