Bookends for your day

"Starting and ending each day with doing something brief, simple, soothing, and calming can set you up for a better start to your day, and relaxing wind down. A healthy ritual can be a powerful way to help your day be more balanced and grounded. Some morning examples are: a short gratitude meditation, prayer, sit outside and look up at the sky, a warm shower while imagining any extra stress going right down the drain…evenings: gratitude meditation, taking some relaxing breathes with eyes closed, the journal for a few minutes, stretch, prayer, warm bath." - Dr. Lyn Rowbotham, Ph.D.
