Welcome back, Make yourself comfortable. Now simply become aware of your breathing. You might want to breathe in deeply in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth as if you are breathing out through a straw, Through thinly pursed lips, To elongate the exhale. That's it. Now imagine a box in front of you. It can look however you like, Perhaps simple, Perhaps beautifully detailed. This box is a place where things can be put down. You can begin to place anything from the workday inside, Decisions, Unfinished tasks, Any tension, Ready to be set aside. When it feels complete, Close the box. Notice a little more space, A little more quiet and mentally place it somewhere it belongs. The workday is done, Nothing more to carry right now. Tomorrow is another day. Now take a moment to notice one thing that went well today. Now again become aware of your feet touching the ground. Become aware of any sounds around you. Feel your clothing touching your skin. If your eyes aren't open yet, You can open them now and when you are ready, You can continue your day and carry whatever felt good with you.
