Sit down and pay attention to your body. Now pay attention to your breath, in and out, as your stomach rises and falls. When you feel settled and calm, bring your mind to your day’s activity. Invite any memory or feeling that touches on words or deeds spoken or accomplished during the day that may have had a negative or positive impact on others. The point is not to review the details but rather to notice what feelings arise when you recall the day’s incidents. Practice like this for a short while, then let it go and return your attention to your breath.
