Washing the Day Away

A former client asked me how I let go of everything I heard during the day.

For me, it is super simple.

I come home.

I lie down on the couch beneath a weighted blanket.

Usually, one, or two cats join me.

I feel the weight settle across my body.

I listen to the purring.

And for a while, I do nothing.

Later, before bed, I take a shower, or a bath.

As the water runs, I imagine washing the day away.

It fees good to acknowledge that the day is over, and tomorrow hasn’t started.

For a brief moment, there is nothing to carry.
