3 Magic Bedtime Questions
How to Slow Down Your Experience of Time
For many, life seems to accelerate once we hit our working years. Each day blends into the next with the familiar routine of waking up, working, returning home, and sleeping. This often leads to the question: "How did I get old so fast? Where did all the time go?"
The culprit is routine. When our days become repetitive, our minds tend to delete these experiences from memory, assuming they're not noteworthy.
So, how can we slow down our perception of time and savor our lives more fully?
The key is mindfulness?"a heightened awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and actions. If you’re not ready to dive into mindfulness yet, start with the 3 Magic Bedtime Questions.
Before you fall asleep, ask yourself these questions:
1. What is one thing I am grateful for today?
2. What do I look forward to tomorrow?
3. What would I like to dream about tonight?
Why are these questions magical? Here’s the reasoning:
The first question prompts you to reflect on your day and find something to appreciate, effectively jogging your memory of the day's events. In Neuro-Linguistic Programming, this is known as recapping experiences. Imagine capturing your day's moments in a mental bottle and labeling it with something memorable, like “The day I met Jenny.” Over time, these bottles create a collection of significant memories rather than a vague period titled “My Working Years: Ages 20 to 50.”
The second question encourages you to envisage tomorrow and find something to anticipate. This instills a sense of natural excitement and motivation, giving you a positive focus upon waking.
The third question taps into your subconscious wishes and desires. Dreaming about what you truly want can help clarify your goals and purposes.
By regularly practicing these 3 Magic Bedtime Questions, you’ll find that time feels more expansive. You’ll remember more, gain clarity, and focus on what truly matters before time runs out.
Additionally, I recommend reading Mindfulness In Plain English by Bhante Henepola Gunaratana. This insightful book guides you in developing mindfulness through Vipassana Meditation, and it’s presented in straightforward, engaging language.
