This is a practice for ending the day. 

Ending the day with an intentional quality of appreciation, review, and learning can be as helpful as starting the day mindfully. Choose a moment towards the end of the day when you might reflect back on your day, brushing your teeth or getting into bed, or that moment when you put your head on the pillow just before you fall asleep. Here's a guide to help you reflect on your day. Perhaps start with reflecting on any moments of enjoyment and appreciation.

What did you enjoy during the day? What did you appreciate? What went well? Were there moments of happiness, joy, connection, love, pride, ease or learning? What went well?

What didn't go well? And what can I learn from that? Bringing this sense of curiosity and friendliness to reviewing moments of enjoyment and appreciation. As you think back through the day, taking care to notice moments, large and small, private moments or moments with others, reflecting with a light curiosity. As if you're talking with a good friend, allowing these moments to resonate in your body and mind.

Then, quite deliberately, let them go. If it feels appropriate, bring to mind any moments from the day that didn't go so well. See if you can hold these moments with a light, kind, and friendly touch. Acknowledge them without judgment. And again, if it feels appropriate, just asking, is there anything I can learn?

And then again, crucially, letting them go, really letting them go. And as we reflect back on the day, having a real sense of recognition that a day has many myriad moments. Some moments will have been difficult. That's why maybe we call it a bad day. More than likely, if you look carefully, you'll find moments to appreciate as well.

Similarly, a day that we call a good day will have had some challenging moments. This is an exercise in appreciating the whole myriad of moments that comprise our day, that make up our day. Now just let go of the day as a whole, appreciating the full spectrum of your experiences, both positive and challenging, giving yourself permission, allowing yourself now to rest and recharge, knowing that each day is a new opportunity.
