I had an important presentation to give at an 8am business meeting and I knew I needed to get a good night's sleep. As I laid there trying to fall asleep these crazy thoughts started. The meeting and my presentation kept playing over and over in my mind. Each time I saw myself doing the presentation, it kept going from bad to worse. After close to an hour of watching these "videos" in my head, and not being able to calm myself down (or sleep), I was ready to call the office answering service and tell them I was sick.

I even considered getting up and writing an email to my supervisor saying that "I had a family emergency and had to leave the state and wouldn't be able to make it because it was so urgent that I get to my father's hospital bed". Then I started having anxiety around the thoughts of actually lying to my boss which made me feel even worse. I needed someting to get my mind off of what I was thinking, and I knew I'd flop in morning if I didn't get some sleep. I had worked hard on that presentation and it could lead advancement in the company, and if it went well, possibly a raise. That's how important this presentation was to me.

I needed to calm down and get some sleep. Your Inner Well Being meditation popped into my head, so I got up and found my mp3 player, crawled back into bed and turned on the nighttime program that's supposed to drift you off to sleep. Right away I heard the soft music and then the soothing voice. I started doing the muscle relaxation excercise and listening to the meditation instructions and affirmations.

Next thing I realized, my alarm was going off and it was time to do my morning rituals. I felt good, got up, did my exercises, ate breakfast and headed into the office. I felt secure about the research and work I'd done on my presentation and am happy to say that it went well!
