Comforting You to Sleep ❤️ Everything is Going to Be Okay

Transcript

Hey, are you awake? Can't sleep? What's on your mind? You okay, baby? Can't stop thinking about everything.

I hate that feeling. Here, intertwine your legs with mine. You know everything's going to be okay.

Things always seem a little more overwhelming at night. Yeah, I know. I know worrying makes you feel like you have a sense of control over everything, but really it's just kind of, yeah, it's going in circles.

It's damaging too, you know. It's not good for your mental health to just keep worrying and feeling anxious. It's really hard not to, I know.

But baby, I've got you, okay? I've got you. It's going to be okay.

Give me a hug, I'm close to her. I love you too. Everything's going to be okay.

Yeah, I just know. And everything is going to pass. Everything you're feeling right now, all those things that are overwhelming you, they're just temporary.

They will all end very soon. And you know other things are going to come up. No, no, no, no, I'm not telling you that to stress you out more.

Not at all. My point simply is, it's just life. It's all in how you choose to take it and what you choose to take on, you know.

Sometimes when I feel really overwhelmed, I'll kind of break it all apart and try to break down the big picture. Because sometimes when you're consumed with everything going on at one time, it's just so much, right? But I find what I do have control over is looking at each thing one by one and sort of breaking it down.

Like, what do I really have to be concerned here? Do I have to be concerned here? Do I have any control over anything happening here? And so many times I don't and it's not worth worrying.

It's not doing any good. I know it's so hard. You need to find something that's the antithesis of worrying.

Every time you have a worrisome thought, you need to have a mantra or something that you say, oh, yeah, no, it's the opposite of that. I do not have control over this. Therefore, there's no point in worrying about it.

Or, okay, if I do have control over this, what is my part? What's the part that I play here? What's the good that I can do here for myself and for others? But always for yourself first.

You have to remember that. Always take care of yourself first. It's good intentions.

If you take care of yourself first with the intention of doing bad for others, well then, yeah, that's a problem, right? Obviously. But if your best intentions is to take care of yourself first and then know that you can take care of others or it will do good for others, then it's all good.

You have to take care of yourself and you have to stop worrying. Okay. You're very cute when you worry, though.

Yeah, you get this little furrow in your brow. Yes, like that. Oh, baby.

You're amazing. I know I tell you that all the time, but you are. I need a new word for amazing.

You are tremendous. You're absolutely tremendous. I like it too, but you are.

You look like you're feeling a little better. Yeah. It's hard.

It's hard to not think about the ache, you know. I do it too, although I do it less now. But I had to really practice and learn.

I always thought it was cool to be sort of like an over-analytical thinker. And then I realized, actually, it's just exhausting. There's nothing really cool about it unless it's your job.

It is true, but it's hard. It's hard to change it, but you can. Just like I said, don't overwhelm yourself or consume yourself with all of it at one time.

Try to break it down. Choose one thing. Look at it from all sides and be like, do I need this? Nope.

Toss it away. And if you're like, nope, I do need this, put it on your table. Still don't worry about it.

Everything good in life is happening to you. I promise you. There's bad stuff too.

There always is. But that's not what you choose to think about. You focus on the good.

The more you focus on the good, the more good that will come to you. Look at me. I promise you.

Only good things are happening for you. Only good things are coming for you. Oh yeah? How do you think I got you in my life? Because good things came to me.

Good things always come to me. Because that's all I want. I don't want bad to come to anyone.

Just good things. Of course I get irritated with people, but you can get irritated and still not want bad things to happen to them. You can simply sort of just not have them in your thoughts.

They float in, they float out. I know. I know you just want it to all go away in a blink.

But baby, you have control over that. You just don't think about it. It's really stressing you out.

Our own thoughts are so. ..they can be so damaging. Harmful and hurtful and dark and negative.

That's why we are our own worst critics. We think about, oh, other people are going to judge me. Other people are going to be as harsh as I am, but really they're not.

And if they are, well, they're just really unhappy trolls. They have nothing to do with you. Okay, no more talking.

Let's just snuggle. Yeah. You're worrying.

I see it. And for real, that brow. Give me your forehead.

I'm kissing away those little wrinkles. No, I'm not saying you have wrinkles. You only have wrinkles when you furrow your brow, when you worry.

That's why worrying ages us. Stop worrying. Okay, I want you to close your eyes.

Take a deep breath. Okay, and now picture your perfect world right now. What does it look like? It looks like us lying here in bed and nothing else exists.

You can have that.
