1. Find a comfortable place to sit. 2. Silence your phone and any other distractions. 3. Have boisterous kiddos? Set them up to play quietly for this 8 minute Examen. Older kids want to join you? Let them! The Examen is for everyone.
After You Pray
1. Feel free to journal key take-aways
2. Prayer didn't go as you thought it would? Don't be discouraged! It takes time to get into a rhythm. Your job is to show up and let the Holy Spirit do the rest.
3. Try to make this a ritual you will look forward to: light a candle, dim the lights, etc.
