The Difficult Day
A closing ritual for days that went badly.
Arrive
Nothing here will fix today. That is not the purpose.
Notice
Notice that the day is over. That fact alone is worth something.
Do
Write the sentence you have been repeating to yourself all day. Read it back once. Then write underneath: this was one day. Make something warm to drink and let the writing sit there without editing it.
Reflect
What would you say to a friend who had this day?
Close
Say that to yourself, in the same tone, and then stop.
Keep
What would you say to a friend who had this day?
Your writing stays private to your account.
