Reflecting on the Day
Routines provide us with soothing structure and foster a sense of self-efficacy and security. Routines make us feel safe. Especially during a time when schedules are changing, new things are happening, or we aren't able to do things or see people we would like to, routines help give us a sense of order as well as awe.*
Before you begin,
take in a deep breath, so deep you fill your lungs completely.
Then slowly let the entire breath out
until your lungs are completely empty.
Repeat twice more.
Then begin your Night Prayers.
