When I experience chatter, I use a technique called mental time travel to ask myself how I will feel about a situation tomorrow or next week, which helps reduce the intensity of my worries.

I don't trust my thinking between 3:00 AM and 7:00 AM after an all-nighter, as sleep deprivation distorts my perception.

If you wake up in the middle of the night, it may be due to an early melatonin pulse or anxiety; adjusting your bedtime can help.

Chatter, the negative aspect of our inner voice, can be intrusive and has a significant impact on our emotional state, confidence, and anxiety levels.

After reducing my caffeine intake to two cups before noon, I experienced the best sleep I've had in over 30 years.

I was waking up anxious every morning, thinking through the list of things I would not get done that day.

I wake up around 4:30 AM because it's a time when I can focus without distractions. I spend time in meditation to set my intentions for the day, ensuring I stay present and connected to my heart throughout my activities.

The two critical times when the door to the subconscious mind opens are when we wake up in the morning and when we go to bed at night.

I think that as I age, I still wake up excited about each day, valuing my relationships and the joy they bring. I've learned a lot about human behavior over the years, and I think I'm better at understanding it now than I was in my 20s.
