Mindfulness doesn’t have to mean incense, robes, or hours of silent stillness. Sometimes it’s as simple as a short nightly ritual and a few surprisingly sticky phrases. After dabbling with guided meditations, a handful of lines stood out—ones that offer a different way to let go, wind down, or give yourself a break. Whether it’s “you’ve done enough today” or “let go of your attachment to today,” the right words, at the right time, can shift how you think about your own mind. Especially when your jaw is clenched and you didn’t even notice.
