197: Create Your Best Possible Outcome: A Mindful Visualization Habit for Cultivating Optimism & Restful Sleep

Do you ever lie in bed at night with your mind racing—replaying conversations or worrying about what’s coming up?Today, on Episode #197 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, I’m sharing a simple practice I’ve been loving lately called the Best Possible Outcome Exercise: It's perfect for those nights when your mind just won’t settle down.Instead of replaying worries or overthinking, you'll learn to gently shift your thoughts by visualizing how things could go really well.Whether it’s an upcoming event, a conversation, or something that’s been weighing on you, I invite you to picture it like a movie—seeing, feeling, and experiencing the best possible outcome.It’s a way to give your mind something calming and optimistic to focus on before sleep.We're also going to talk about letting go—literally handing things over to your subconscious—and using your breath to help your body relax into rest.And if those “what if it goes wrong” thoughts pop up, we acknowledge them briefly and come back to trust: you can handle whatever comes.Think of this as your nighttime “ugh to hug” practice—one that helps you fall asleep with more ease and wake up feeling grounded, optimistic, and ready for your next best chapter.On this episode:The How of Happiness by Sonja LyubomirskyThe Me Now Women's Wellness WheelPower & Purpose Daily Motivations: A Year of Coming Home to Yourself: Find it hereLoving the show?
