Begin by coming into a comfortable position.
A position that allows your body to rest.
Letting yourself sink deeper and deeper into the mattress.
Let gravity do the work as you let go of the weight of your body.
You don't have to hold yourself anymore.
Let the surface beneath you hold your body.
And when you are ready,
Gently close your eyes.
Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Imagine today behind you a path you have already walked.
You don't need to revisit every step.
You don't need to remember every detail.
Just notice the walking is over,
That everything from today,
From the day that has just passed,
Is gathered in a bag on your shoulders.
This backpack holds everything that happened today.
The conversations you had today.
Every action that you took today.
This bag is holding the moments that went well,
The moments that didn't.
You don't need to open it.
You don't need to sort through this backpack.
Don't need to fix anything.
Nothing is required of you at this moment.
All you are invited to do is to simply acknowledge this is what today held.
Slowly release this bag down beside you.
Notice the subtle release in your shoulders,
The softening in your chest.
Not everything needs to be completed or to be perfect.
Doing your best doesn't mean doing everything.
It means doing what was possible with the energy you had.
With the clarity you had.
With the capacity you had today.
There is no need to carry this bag any longer.
It can rest here beside you.
What belongs to tomorrow will meet you again when you wake up.
So let go of this bag and all your attachments with it and bring your awareness back to your body.
