I'm Sleeping As Fast As I Can!: Learning to Commit the Courageous Act of Not Trying

By M.C. Merritt RN (Ret.)

I'm Sleeping As Fast As I Can Learning to Commit the Courageous Act of Not Trying

If you are reading this, I believe it is safe to assume one thing: You are tired. Not just sleepy, but bone-weary from the endless pressure to fix, improve, and manage yourself. We live in a world that worships "the hustle," convincing us that peace is a trophy we must chase and that even relaxation requires hard work.

But the answer isn't to run faster. It could be that you are already home. In fact, you are...really

Drawing from thirty-two years of experience as a Registered Nurse, the author draws you into the "break room" for a different kind of conversation. Blending medical insight with the wisdom of Alan Watts, Carl Jung, and Lao Tzu, this book explores the "Law of Reversed Effort," the paradox that the harder we try to force peace, the further it is pushed away.

Through short, soothing chapters designed to be sipped like a delicious cup of coffee, you will learn why "trying" to relax is like shaking a jar of muddy water to clear it. I'm Sleeping As Fast As I Can is your permission slip to stop swimming upstream, unclench your jaw, and trust the river of life.

You don't have to hold up the sky. It stays up all on its own. Welcome to the courageous act of not trying.
