In tonight's Sleep Hypnosis with Jessica, we relax, and paradoxically, by relaxing, we will get stronger. Which makes sense. When we get stressed out, we spend tons of energy on our whirring brain, tense muscles and biting our nails , which should probably be held in reserve for the real fights, the immunity fights. So learning how to relax is not just about improving sleep, or relationships, or mental health. Learning to relax allows your body to have what it needs when it needs it. First, we'l...
