    A few days ago, I did something that I thought would 100% keep me from sleeping. It wasn’t cringey this time, just a big mistake that I should have known better than to make.

    But I had a plan and I carried it out. During that day, every time I thought about the mistake, I just tried to let it go, similar to what I practiced in mindfulness meditation. But I was having a problem doing that while just doing my normal thing, so I tried listening to an audiobook. I thought that would engage my mind enough so that I couldn’t make such a strong memory of my mistake, and it all seemed to work.

    Anyways, for most people who don’t have serious trauma, I think this is a problem you can work at and improve your sleep.
