My Mind Was Racing

Illustration of someone lying awake at night watching the clock glow

Shadowing practice
  • Listen once to catch how the narrator’s pacing tightens when the thoughts start sprinting.
  • Shadow lines like “my mind was racing” and “checked the time three times” to copy the clipped rhythm.
  • Pause after each leap from small worry to big life plan and mirror the rising intensity.
  • Record yourself retelling the moment he laughed in the dark; match that sudden release in tone.
  • Practice linking phrases such as “told myself to stop” and “of course that never works” until they flow.
  • Repeat the closing line about a tired body and a buzzing mind, then add your own sleepy sigh.

Tip: Contrast a tight, speedy delivery on the spiraling thoughts with a softer tone once they surrender to sleep.
