If your brain races the moment your head hits the pillow, this episode is for you.

Larisa shares a simple habit she’s used since high school: keeping a notepad beside her bed. Not for productivity. Not for perfection. For nervous system regulation.

When thoughts are captured on paper, your brain can rest.

Inside this episode:
• Why overthinking spikes at night
• What happens in the hypnagogic state (that half-awake creative window)
• How writing signals safety to your nervous system
• Why you don’t need to act on everything you write
• How this tiny habit improves sleep, clarity, and leadership

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about giving your mind containment so it can let go.

Peace of mind is the prerequisite for insight.
Alignment builds success, not force.

Try This Tonight

Put a small notepad beside your bed.No pressure. No agenda.

If a thought comes, write it down.
Then let your nervous system rest.
