Account for your day

Before the day closes, the wise review their own ledger.

Muhasaba is the practice of self-accounting: each evening, honestly review your actions and intentions, thank God for the good, and resolve to correct the rest.

Try this today: Tonight, spend two minutes reviewing one good and one regret.
