Is there anyone on this planet who knows you better than you know yourself? If your answer is no one, and you're struggling to sleep better, why not tap into your self-knowledge and coach yourself?
Your mind might be firing off a bunch of reasons why this sounds preposterous—but hear me out. Just because you struggle with quality sleep doesn't mean you aren't the best candidate to coach yourself. Let's dig deeper.
Think back to when you learned to crawl, walk, talk, or run. You were too young to remember, but who taught you? You did. And how did you learn? Trial and error.
Improving your sleep is no different. It's about making small adjustments, observing the feedback, and aiming for just 1% improvement each night.
Now, I’m not claiming to be a sleep expert, but my own progress over the past year has been enough to knock my socks off. I haven’t had a professional coach—I’ve simply followed the same advice I’m sharing with you.
Your world will change dramatically once you trust yourself to coach you. The difference between your early successes—crawling, walking, talking—and your struggles today? Back then, you didn’t have negative self-talk holding you back. Over time, you may have lost trust in yourself because you started listening to people who said you couldn’t succeed.
Prove those voices—inside and out—wrong.
Decide today that you’re going to coach yourself, and then take action. Keep a sleep log. Be intentional. Post a note next to your bed that says, "I'm getting better at sleeping every night" so your brain absorbs your instructions.
Whatever you do, don’t give up on yourself. My bet? Once you master coaching yourself to sleep better, you’ll gain confidence to coach yourself in other areas of your life that need attention.
If this message resonates with you, please share it with a friend or loved one who’s also struggling with sleep. Work on this together—because two coaches are better than one.
Have a great day!
